Trump aired frustration with books and stories being published "with the so-called 'anonymous,' or 'off the record,' quotes."

He continued, "At some point I am going to sue some of these dishonest authors and book publishers, or even media in general, to find out whether or not these 'anonymous sources' even exist."

Trump said he might even enact a law against anonymous sourcing.

"They are made up, defamatory fiction, and a big price should be paid for this blatant dishonesty. I'll do it as a service to our Country. Who knows, maybe we will create some NICE NEW LAW!!!" he wrote.
