  • Donald Trump Agrees to Pay $25 Million in Trump University Settlement

    From nytimes.com

    Donald J. Trump has reversed course and agreed to pay $25 million to settle a series of lawsuits stemming from his defunct for-profit education venture, Trump University, finally putting to rest fraud allegations by former students, which have dogged him for years and hampered his presidential campaign. The settlement was announced by the New York attorney general on Friday, just 10 days before one of the cases, a federal class-action lawsuit in San Diego, was set to be heard by a jury. The deal, if approved, averts a potentially embarrassing and highly unusual predicament: a president-elect on trial, and possibly ... (full story)

This is a good move on his part, as he realizes that running the country is far more important then spending and wasting time in a civil case in which will drag out and give more fodder to the lame stream media. Besides, he will do more for education than any presidents have done before him.

What? Are you American? Do you understand the the issue of our education system? Do you understand what plagues the inner cities, Blacks. Latino's, and other minorities who make up the overwhelming high percentage of drop out rates of high school graduates ? Do you understand other initiatives of vocational training for alternative education, giving skills that will be useful in their futures to these same groups? Talk to me if you actually do have knowledge in these areas in which is something Trump has talked about addressing. No snark comments are needed!

If you think that, then you are more mentally challenged than I thought. Or purposely being disingenuous! Then again, having "Cold Chisel" as your moniker named after the music group might explain the level of intelligent discourse you possess on such subject matters. Surprise! Surprise! You don't know anything about me or what I stand for or what my avatar means, but nice try! But go ahead if being presumptuous is your mo, it only exposes further your ignorance!

Your statement on being a populist has got to be the dumbest thing I have heard and only means that you have no depth of perspective of who Trump is or what he represents in the broader meaning because using such labels is just repeating MSM talking points and a convenient way to express your so called SJW angst rooted in nothing in particular! In other words more of the same BS diatribe coming from your rectum!

Also why do you think you are entitled to an explanation? You are not even American! So how would you understand? Don't tell me some bullcrap that you have relatives living in the US! You don't vote in US elections and your opinion means nothing!

For the moment the only facts he can bring in the field is a failed business and setlled judgment for fraud.

Happy for americans if he can revert this not so great credentials

How does one have one of the most successful Businesses in the world by being a failure? Creating 70,000+ jobs is not so great? Many successful business people failed before becoming successful. That is a fact, why exclude T?

Also as the settlement reads is no admission of guilt. It amazes me how people like you can't see that being a president vs, being a private citizen require different responsibilities, a lawsuit in which he could have fought but would not serve in his best interest to pursue because he is now a public servant and is putting the American people first not himself is what he is doing. Try practicing a little intellectual honesty and look at the facts!

No not true! His family will not be serving in his cabinet as they will be running the business. Also, he made three appointments so far, Pompeio for CIA director, Jeff Sessions, Attorney General, and Mike Flynn as his Security Advisor. How is this family and colleagues as his policy? He is acting like an executive and appointing the best people for the specific roles he needs to fill!

I get why you are worried about Trump being president but I do not understand why you are worried about a populist this is the definition (a member or adherent of a political party seeking to represent the interests of ordinary people) would you not be scared if a populist was unable to have a impact in politics as it would lead to civil unrest??

"the most successful Businesses in the world", you need to stop drinking the Trump Kool-aid (;
It's a known fact that his business career is laden with "improprieties" (like Trump University)
To do business with trumpo-the-clown means that he will try to screw you over.
This is how he made his money. He has a bad reputation. None of his peers in business want to have anything to do with him.

WOW....so many opinions..so little time. On sure thing the EURO would take a dive but wouldn't last. Next would be the Aussie, again short term. I bought both to sell. Over 350 on EURO and over 250 on AUSSIE. I still don't care who won..as long as I did. I'll give the market a few months and it will be back to "normal".

Yes we will see what will happen in 4 years, and yes we remain objective. I will be the first to hold Trump's feet to the fire if he fails to deliver on his promises, unlike most leftist loons whose mantra is based on self denial and lies, we are at least reasonable and realistic, and won't hold back if he turns into another NEO-CON in Washington! So far, I like what I am seeing!
