You can't really be as obtuse as your comments make you appear. Again, Trump has steadfastly maintained and has famously bragged that he doesn't settle lawsuits if he is in the right.  Also, Trump did not settle for "pennies on the dollar". Nuisance suits, as you are describing, are usually settled for amounts that are "pennies on the dollar" but Trump settled for an amount,  plaintiffs received 90% of their money back, which is highly unusual and indicative of the fact that Trump and his attorney's knew he would lose the case so that's why they settled for an amount that was so high. By the way, How is Trump University doing nowadays? Oh yeah, I forgot! The master of the "Art of the Deal" had to shut it down in 2010....
