"Never Settle" Drumpf, Settles.

If you're rich enough to settle, why not?

Some people's egos are too big for it. Trump is notorious for fighting things like this tooth and nail.

It's good that the students get their money back--but I wish they'd stop letting people admit to 'no fault' in lawsuits like this.

I thought the students were suing for $44,000,000.

Maybe I heard wrong . . .

It kind of has to be that way because it ensures the case can't be re-litigated. That is, once the matter is settled, a plaintiff can't try to reopen the case because they've acknowledged that the defendant wasn't at fault. It accomplishes the conveyance of an award to the plaintiff and a guaranteed end of the case for the defendant. In addition, the stipulation of confidentiality minimizes any further controversy for both sides. Also, settlement is always encouraged because it's cheaper and faster than settling. Once the matter gets into court, all kinds of unpredictable things can happen. The only things that are predictable is that it'll gum up the court calendar, run up the costs to the public, and run up the party's attorneys fees. So in the end, the admittedly non-intuitive nature of saying, "I did nothing wrong, so here's $25 million dollars" actually does a great service to all involved.

Trump lied the sun came up tides went in and out.

Trump U is going to cost the Orange Turd $25 million.

Paying $25,000,000 in a fraud lawsuit before even taking the oath of office. Bitchin'. That doesn't send up any giant flaming red flags. That he said he doesn't settle was a proven lie. That he said he wouldn't settle this case because he'd win it easily is now an official lie.

I checked out the forum I used to go to and Trump supporters are utterly nonplussed by this. Hillary was and would have been worse, and "President Trump" did the noble thing. See, this was a phony lawsuit he really could have won easily, but he's so laser-focused on the job of POTUS, that he sacrificed his hard-earned money so that this would not interfere with all the important work he has to do. And lest the libtards not have noticed, he admitted no wrongdoing. So all is well. 

I shit you not. 

But that's why I left there. The discourse had cratered and is still burrowing deeper into the bedrock of shit-headery. 

It won't last though. Sure, it's okay if he fucked over someone that's not them, because Trump supporters seem to be pretty sure that other people don't exist except themselves and the ones they personally know. But when the bullshit is stinking up their house, enough will turn on him so that this goddamn circus only has to last until 2020. By that time, if the Dems can't find someone who simply isn't guilty of a violent felony, they should be able to win the White House back after this foray into fuckery.

Hitler shat over millions of ethnic Germans, including quite a few true believers, yet it was only until it was obvious that he was losing the war that his own started noticing.

Trump should be sued over the 'Trump Steaks' fiasco. 'Beefsteak' is made from cattle. 'Porksteak' is made from pigs. Clearly, 'Trump steaks' were not filets of Donald Trump. False advertising.
