they will get more money that way even if they win the lawsuit

winning and collecting are two different things

This slime ball and his family, friends, supporters screw people for a living.

Trump has a pretty long history of that. But the popular media seem to be obsessed with "optics" lately (whatever in hell that means). The New York Times has gone so far as to say that the Clinton Foundation should be dissolved because there are dark, unsubstantiated rumors swirling around its activities. I don't think the Times quite got to the point of what the millions of people whose lives are bettered and saved through the Foundation's work should do. Curl up and die at the nearest roadside? Anyway, they're out of luck, because the Times feels the optics for the Clinton Foundation are unfavorable.

What will the Times say (if anything) about the optics of a billionaire not paying the little girls who danced at his Pensacola rally? The ones who were disinvited from appearing while en route to Des Moines? The ones who were shunted off to auxiliary seating at Des Moines so long as they promised not to talk to the media they were seated next to (in costume)? To an inexperienced naive political observer like myself, these optics would seem extraordinarily bad. I need the Times and the Washington Post and Fox and Chuck Todd and the rest of the political cognoscenti to tell me why this is really good news for Donald Trump, and shows once again that he's not just equal to the job of president, but surpasses all qualifications in every way.
