Go away money.
No guilt proven.
If he's not guilty, why did he pay $25 million?
Trials are typically more expensive than settling... Settling proves nothing.. It sounds like he made a smart decision settling here,

25 cents on the dollar, for those 5000 students who got defrauded by Trump University, if they even see that much!
Makes me feel so warm and fuzzy now that Trump finally bought his way out of a fraud and racketeering suit. Roll up those sleeves and go play president now, Donny!

Indeed... and a condition of the settlement was no admission of guilt.
That's the same way he settled his rape case back in the 90s. He delayed that one through the courts for years as well. That is his MO.

Good.
Now everyone can shut up about it.
Why should people shut up about it? This college cheated so many people. You think Trump didn't know what was going on? Oh because he's Donald Trump he should be given a pass right?
He may have settled this matter but to me it's a clear admission of guilt, otherwise he'd have NO reason to settle and by that much.
If only ITT students and others saw the same kind of justice.
Penn St. is still, by far, worse.
And "Oh because he's Donald Trump he should be given a pass right?"
But neither should have Hillary or Bill, be it Emails, or the mess with Hati, but she still got to run for president.
My thing is, pass or not, it doesn't matter in the big picture.
Protests are not needed, and it wont change anything about his presidency.
So basically, like a lot of things lately, this just don't matter.
Statement By A.G. Schneiderman On $25 Million Settlement Agreement Reached In Trump University Case
NEW YORK – Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman issued the following statement on the $25 million settlement agreement reached in Trump University case:
In 2013, my office sued Donald Trump for swindling thousands of innocent Americans out of millions of dollars through a scheme known as Trump University. Donald Trump fought us every step of the way, filing baseless charges and fruitless appeals and refusing to settle for even modest amounts of compensation for the victims of his phony university. Today, that all changes. Today's $25 million settlement agreement is a stunning reversal by Donald Trump and a major victory for the over 6,000 victims of his fraudulent university.
I am pleased that under the terms of this settlement, every victim will receive restitution and that Donald Trump will pay up to $1 million in penalties to the State of New York for violating state education laws. The victims of Trump University have waited years for today's result and I am pleased that their patience--and persistence--will be rewarded by this $25 million settlement.

Well that's one less thing off his plate. He certainly would want this lawsuit to get out of the way before for enters the whitehouse:
President-elect Donald Trump agreed to pay $25 million to settle claims that his defunct Trump University defrauded students, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said in a statement
www.bloomberg.com...
Further from WSJ:
Mr. Trump has been battling cases brought in California by consumers who alleged the New York businessman’s for-profit real-estate school falsely promised that its seminars would teach them Mr. Trump’s strategies for success. Mr. Schneiderman also brought similar claims in separate litigation.
Mr. Trump has denied the allegations, saying students got their money’s worth from the seminars and that many students gave positive reviews.
www.wsj.com...
This does come out as a surprise. Trump isn't the settling type but I trust he realized this case was going to bite him later if he didn't settle it now. $25 million should also go a long way for those students cheated out of this college. The sad thing is, there are many other education institutions that have defrauded thousands of students and they haven't seen any kind of justice. Take ITT.... how many students left out.

What?
Trump never settled a rape case in the 90s or ever.
Stay away from those fake news sites.

You are full of it.
Trump never settled. The accuser dropped the case because it had no merit.
Stop spreading lies, especially when they are so easily disproved.
Donald Trump's Ex-Wife Ivana Disavows Old 'Rape' Allegation
"I have recently read some comments attributed to me from nearly 30 years ago at a time of very high tension during my divorce from Donald," she said in the statement today. "The story is totally without merit. Donald and I are the best of friends and together have raised 3 children that we love and are very proud of."
Ivana Trump had already walked back the rape allegation in 1993 as the book was about to be published.

In 1997, a makeup artist and former business associate named Jill Harth alleged that Trump had groped her on multiple occasions. In her suit, which you can read here, Harth described one of these advances as “attempted rape.” As the Guardian reported in July, that suit was dropped after Trump settled a separate business lawsuit with Harth’s partner George Houraney.
