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)

He doesn't need to cheat people to make money

The fact that he is a criminal does not bode well for the future ..
Trump University:
students will learn in our classes how to become a SUCCESSFUL clown. No refund. For only $50,000, you shall be able to become the leader of a great country.

Here is something funny ..

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??

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?

"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.

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!

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!
