a lot of them won't care but I do think Trump will be as or less popular than W. a lot of people who voted for him will be hesitant to admit it in a few years.

I doubt we see anything but doubling and tripling down by the trumpians. he'll get us into WW3 with battles on our own turf and the trumpians will justify it

that's two different things. Republicans have shown that they'll do anything to consolidate power, but that doesn't mean they'll be popular.

Such naivete. These dictators will not get along, and if they do, it's because they're up to no good.

The settlement submitted to a federal court in San Diego indicates Trump is personally guaranteeing that $25 million will be given to the plaintiffs’ lawyers by Jan. 18, 2017, two days before his inauguration.

Trump’s attorneys denied any fraud, however, arguing the promotional tactics are merely sales “puffery” past courts have allowed.

Trump and Trump University do not admit any wrongdoing in the settlement, Politico reported. Trump University participants are expected to get back roughly 50 percent of the fees they paid. Politico said the deal stipulates students who have received previous refunds, meanwhile, will get reduced payments or none at all.

Enrollees typically spent about $1,500 for a three-day seminar or up to $35,000 for a mentorship program, according to the report.

The $25 million total includes $4 million set aside to settle a separate state lawsuit brought in New York by state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman (D).

“We’ve never seen this kind of wealth in the White House, and so traditional rules don’t work,” Gingrich said Monday during an appearance on NPR’s "The Diane Rehm Show" about the president-elect’s business interests. “We’re going to have to think up a whole new approach.”

And should someone in the Trump administration cross the line, Gingrich has a potential answer for that too.

“In the case of the president, he has a broad ability to organize the White House the way he wants to. He also has, frankly, the power of the pardon,” Gingrich said. “It’s a totally open power. He could simply say, ‘Look, I want them to be my advisers. I pardon them if anyone finds them to have behaved against the rules. Period. Technically, under the Constitution, he has that level of authority.”

“Speaker Gingrich’s statement that wealth trumps the rule of law, basically that’s what he was saying, is jaw-dropping,” added American University government professor James Thurber. “I can’t believe it. He’s a historian. He should also know that we did not want to have a king. A king in this case is somebody with a lot of money who cannot abide by the rule of law."

The financial pinch she’s feeling is compounded by her sense that other people are getting health care for free. “If I close my doors, being single, I could make more money than working here, with all the stuff they’ll give me” she said. “They have their health care, their food stamps, their iPhones ... They got it made!”

MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker asked President-elect Donald Trump in a letter delivered Tuesday to give his state more authority in determining how many refugees can come from countries with ties to terrorism.
Walker is also asking for help to allow the state to proceed with drug testing for some food stamp recipients and legalizing the hunting of grey wolves.
