dear don, you DIDN'T WIN.
you SETTLED. you LOST.
President-elect Donald Trump sent two tweets on Saturday to claim he would have won the lawsuits against Trump University he has agreed to settle for $25 million.
"The only BAD thing about winning the presidency" is he doesn't have time to sit for a trial he says he would have won, he tweeted. "Too bad!"
Trump also said the $25 million settlement was much less than his potential financial exposure in the cases, which alleged Trump defrauded people who enrolled in real estate seminars he started in 2005.
On Friday, Trump settled three lawsuits against Trump University. He was set to testify in San Diego later this month, although his lawyers had asked the court to postpone the trial so Trump could prepare for the presidency.

MY OPINION ..... I WISH "THEY" would have taken him to court instead of settling and I wish they had settled for double the amount (50 Million) Trump is a Crook !!! in OPEN COURT, his lies would have come out.
The world would have seen what a dishonest and crooked jerk Trump is.
