Heh, can’t wait to hear the people yelling at them not to settle yelling about Trump not accepting the settlement. Guy’s made his money, what’s he need more for? This is about exposing the insidiousness of the mainstream media, one outlet at a time.

Funnily enough, that man’s LOST money being President. Everything he’s doing is for the betterment of America and her people.

Love him or hate him, don’t ever base it off anything the corporate media says.

This is not even about Trump, but about media finally getting caught up with their own lying.

I’m not math person and $15m sounds like a lot, so I asked my buddy Google to see if it was a good deal. It turns out that $15m is only 0.075% of the $20b Trump had been seeking in damages.

I am also not a good negotiator but I’m not sure I would have wanted to be the person that told Trump they were only offering fractions of a penny on the dollar when the end result of CBS’s meddling *would have been* the continued ruination of Western Civilization.

But, like I said, I ain’t the experts. Personally, I think he needs about 600 million. That way he has the cash to settle his NY cases when the biased judges in NY deny his appeals on the Carroll case and the Real Estate thing that is STILL generally accepted practice unless your name ends in Trump.

I keep repeating, so listen: THIS IS ALL ABOUT THE MIDTERMS! Trump wants a serious enough “spanking” of CBS to alert the other MSM outlets to be good and do no shenanigans during the midterms or they’ll get more of the same. And that isn’t even about the dollar figure–it is about just routinely saying “Not enough, come back with more.” to them. Get it?
