Trump sends 'cease and desist' letter to Club for Growth for being mean

The ongoing feud between Donald Trump and the Club for Growth—the best feud of the Republican primary by far—is now multitudes better, which we pretty much knew would happen once CfG decided to spend $1 million in ads against Trump in Iowa. The only thing that's surprising in this is that it took Trump's lawyer a whole week to send this cease and desist letter to the group's president, David McIntosh.
Here are a few, very few, choice snippets, though it is very hard to do it justice in a fair use kind of way.
I am General Counsel to Donald J. Trump. We recently had the opportunity to view your television commercial entitled "Politician" together with your accompanying statements in the media concerning my client's views (collectively, your "Attack Ad") and, quite frankly, are dismayed by the depths special interest groups like yours will go to in an attempt to materially mislead the public for the personal benefit of you and your financial backers. […]
Simply stated, your Attack Ad is not only completely disingenuous, but replete with outright lies, false, defamatory and destructive statements and downright fabrications which you fully know to be untrue, thereby exposing you and your so-called "club" to liability for damages and other tortious harm. […]
[… ] your pitiful little group conveniently chose to leave that information out in a deliberate attempt to mislead the public into believing that it is reflective of Mr. Trump's current position [on taxes] […] This is the very definition of libel. […]
[…] it was only a few short months ago that you very openly and shamelessly attempted to extort Mr. Trump to the tune of $1 million in exchange for your political support. […] American politics at its worst. If that is not a "shake-down", I do not know what is. […]
The letter ends by giving the CfG the "one-time opportunity to rectify this matter" by: 1) stop running the ad immediately and immediately inform them in writing that it's happened, and promise that they won't ever lie about anything about Trump again in the future. No, really 
If that doesn't happen, Trump's lawyer Alan Garten says, the wrath of Trump will fall upon their heads in the form of "a multi-million dollar lawsuit against you personally [McIntosh] and your organization for your false and defamatory statements and the damage you have intentionally caused to my client's interests as well as pursue all other remedies available to us at law or in equity."
CfG, your move. Please make it as much fun as this one was.
