Quote
Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump's campaign is demanding CNN retract and apologize for a recent poll that showed him well behind presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.

The demand, coming in the form of a cease and desist letter to CNN President Jeff Zucker, was immediately rejected by the network.
"We stand by our poll," said Matt Dornic, a CNN spokesman.

That's quite amusing. 

Maybe next he'll sue them for defamation.

If Trump loses, we're going to see lawsuits filed against anyone he perceives as having treated him "very unfairly," costing him the election.

If the 2016 roles were reversed, I can totally see Trump suing James Comey (and getting laughed out of court).

This is so childish and petty.
I can picture trump's lawyers rolling their eyes during the phone call, where trump demands that they send the cease & desist order to CNN.

Trump is biggest crybaby in the world.

He got into a twitter war over the size of his hands, leading to him bringing up the size of his d**k in a debate. There are Fabergé eggs less fragile.

Does Del Tachi want to keep telling me about how "strong and masculine" Trump is?

Maybe CNN should add content warnings on their polls in case they possibly might trigger this snowflake.

CNN response is savage:

Quote
To my knowledge, this is the first time in its 40-year history that CNN had been threatened with legal action because an American politician or campaign did not like CNN's polling results. To the extent we have received legal threats from political leaders in the past, they have typically come from countries like Venezuela or other regimes where there is little or no respect for a free and independent media.
