Donald Trump Settles Trump University Lawsuits for $25 Million
President-elect won't go to trial in class-action suits pertaining to for-profit education program

Despite Donald Trump's campaign trail vows that he would not settle lawsuits pertaining to his Trump University, the president-elect's legal team have ultimately decided to pay $25 million to settle the outstanding class-action suits.
Trump University: Former For-Profit Prof Explains Why It's the Worst
From targeting easy marks to dubious post-grad employment, most predatory for-profit universities follow the same script – but Trump's is even worse
“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,” New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said. "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."
In July, Schneiderman said of the Trump University scandal, "Using false promises to prey on desperate people has long been a hallmark of 'snake-oil salesmen.' A lawsuit by my office alleges that Donald Trump was basically doing the same thing with Trump University."
The trial phase of the California suit was set to begin November 28th. Trump's lawyers had pushed to get the trial moved until after his inauguration, until both sides agreed to step up their efforts to reach a settlement, the New York Daily News reports.
Schneiderman first filed the class-action lawsuit against Trump in 2013; Trump promptly called him "lightweight" and added that the lawsuit was "pathetic."
One of the many controversies that hounded Trump on the campaign trail, Trump University, which operated between 2005 to 2010, was back under the microscope this summer after U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel unsealed 400 pages worth of documents related to the mogul's real estate seminar; Trump responded by questioning whether Curiel's Mexican heritage created an "absolute conflict."
"While Trump University claimed it wanted to help consumers make money in real estate, in fact Trump University was only interested in selling every person the most expensive seminars they possibly could," one former sales director, Ronald Schnackenberg, said of the for profit education program in his testimony.

Trump the Thief
If a man shuts his ears to the cry of the poor, he too will cry out and not be answered

TRUMP FOUNDATION IS NO CHARITY; IT’S A MONEY-LAUNDERING FRONT
September 19, 2016 Published in Letters
To The Daily Sun,
Donald Trump spoke to an audience of supporters last Thursday evening at the Laconia Middle School. We need to highlight a few of his quotes which were stated during this get-together:
1) "We're going to stop all of the problems you have, we're going to stop them."
Trump also vowed to replace 2) "a policy of globalism with Americanism."
He further stated 3)"I will fight for every neglected part of this nation."
Massive amount of facts have been uncovered by methodically going through documents of the Trump Foundation and then in turn phoning contributors and charities to check the relationship between what Trump says his foundation has actually contributed. This research lead to an in-depth article written by David Fahrenthold of The Washington Post who has exposed the fraudulent nature of Trump's charitable foundation.
We learned from the Fahrenthold research that Donald Trump "does not put any money into his own foundation. He takes in others donors' money, and he gives it away as the Donald Trump Foundation's money, and the expectation and the assumption among people who get it is that this is Donald Trump's money, because that's how everybody else does it."
"By sitting down with the documents of the Trump Foundation and working the phone to check the relationship between what Trump says his foundation is about, and the reality that Donald Trump has created a money laundering scheme with which he buys political influence (and keen toys) using other people's money. The biggest scandal? That everything Fahrenthold has done didn't require some exclusive access to a single "Deep Throat" source. It took only public information, a telephone, and dedicated work. And yet, other outlets seem singularly reluctant to look into what is clearly a definitive case of corruption." This is a direct quote from a recent interview conducted by Chris Cillizza with David Fahrenthold.
Fahrenthold also found the following, there's no paid staff. The Board of Directors consists of four Trumps, Donald, Donald Jr., Ivanka, Eric and one Trump Organization staffer.
Starting with phone calls to charities last June, Fahrenthold found that not one had received a cash gift from directly from Trump going back to before 2009. Out of 327 charities queried, 199 told Fahrenthold Trump never gave, another 86 had no comment and 40 were non-responsive.
Fahrenthold further states, "Trump seemed to have stockpiled a lot of (earmarked) veterans money (to the tune of $1 million) in this oddball Trump Foundation..." Which he did not give to the veterans until an expose found that the money was still in his foundation account. In "May Corey Lewandowski, the then--Trump campaign manager, told Fahrenthold, 'Trump had given out the one million dollars he'd promised to veterans' charities,' but Lewendowski said the details were secret."
The following request is very appropriate and an absolute necessity: We respectfully request that the Trump campaign release, to the nation, the original letter from the IRS which states that Donald J. Trump is under audit.
So when Trump continues to tell us that he "will fight for every neglected part of this nation" we have to suspect that he again is lying to Americans about how he plans "to stop all of the problems you have." It is very obvious to tens of millions of voters that Trump is indeed a huge part of the problem and certainly not the solution.
