Why hasn't the media made more of a big deal about Trump's $25 million fraud settlement for Trump U?

If it was anyone else, they'd not only be no longer be in office as a result of running a scam like that, they'd be sitting in a prison cell.

Everything he says to market this scam in this commercial is a confirmed lie

And, because the settlement has been appealed, it's unclear whether Trump ever wrote the settlement check. My guess is no.

The whole thing --from Trump, to those who ran the "university," to the "students" -- reeks of greed.
