The President of the United States of America just agreed to pay $25,000,000 to people he defrauded. American people. Because he was caught. Just digest that for a minute. Why is this going on? Why are we making allowances for this creep we would never make for any other politician in America? Ever, in 240 years.

1. republican Comrade Casino is only paying because he has to

republican Pee45 has a long track record of not paying people for the work they did for him, or for the so-called "education" he failed to deliver.

23. +1

[Squinch]

2. I wonder how that figure compares to how much he made.

[Jonny Appleseed]

3. The payout was only an 80% recoup

So it's conceivable that he still profited off the scam. He should've been jailed and forced to make payouts in the hundreds of millions. Shame on the victim's lawyer for accepting such a shitty settlement. Think about how much he would ACTUALLY pay to keep the lawsuit from further poisoning his presidency.

[world wide wally]

4. Just "draining the swamp", folks

Right, all you working stiffs that still support him?

[Orrex]

5. Well, it'll come out of his charity anyway, so no harm done

Or maybe from one of his Russian oligarch backers.

[Wellstone ruled]

6. Good Luck cashing that check!!!!!

[dalton99a]

7. No, this is never normal.

8. Trumps skill is not deal-making with powerful counterparts. It is duping gullible victims.

David Frum tweet:  ‏ "Regular reminder that Donald Trump’s core competency is not dealmaking with powerful counter-parties. It is duping gullible victims."

[malaise]

9. +1,000

but this time he's out of his league

[SwissTony]

10. This just proves that DJT is honest!!

Wait...April 1 was yesterday???? Damn!!

[dalton99a]

12. Yes, he is so honest and cares about people - he wants to fix any misunderstanding

[Honeycombe8]

11. And people VOTED for him! Are they NUTS????

I just don't get it. Be angry, yes. Shout, okay. But vote for a con artist who you KNOW is lying every time he opens his mouth? Is vulgar, files bankrtuptcies, molested women, committed fraud? I can't get over it.

I figure they were so dug in to their hatred on the Muslim and "illegal immigrant" thing that they couldn't see past that, and didn't care to.

14. There are still some saying, "Give him a chance"!

A chance to do what? Destroy yet another worthwhile law? Launch ICBMs? What in god's name do the 33+% that comprise his diehard followers see/hear in 45 & Co. that's so inspiring or attractive? Hate? Chaos? Destruction of every decent law that made the powerful accountable in some way?

His "chance" left the station long ago. He is who he is, and always was. And that makes him unfit to be president.

[Nwgirl503]

13. Such BS that he gets out without admitting fault

That should be required on cases like this. No admittance, no settlement.

[Fast Walker 52]

15. Next he needs to repay US citizens of the US $250 billion for the damages and costs

to the name and business of this nation.

[elmac]

16. The real president, Hillary Clinton, would agree

that the appointed president is a full blown crook, fraudster and con man.

[moondust]

17. And I thought the electoral college

was supposed to prevent populist snake oil salesmen from ever reaching the White House. Of course preventing mob rule might not go down so well with the mob, but still...

[NBachers]

19. If I was Hilary, she'd be in stocks on the way to the guillotine right now.

With citizens along the way stoning her as she went by.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

20. the bar is set so low for trump: he defrauds people, makes fun of people

with handicaps, assaults women, colludes with Russians, etc., etc., etc.

[sellitman]

21. But her emails....

[uponit7771]

22. Rich, male, white, hetero, Christian.... bout it
