RIGHT?! So why did he pay. I'm so sad about this. I feel like this legal 'hiccup' is going to cause more trouble than it's worth. I wish he would have stood his ground, but I think Cohen got to him!! :
I wouldn't be surprised if Trump just pays off nuisance accusations like this because the cost of fighting it can end up being so enormous. Make them a reasonable offer to make them go away. Include a non-disclosure clause so they don't go blabbing to every other hoe they know that Trump's an easy mark with a guaranteed payoff. Best of a bad, and probably too often routine, situation for someone in Trump's position.
If he takes even one to court, even if he's eventually vindicated, there's likely plenty more in attorney's fees at stake, plus the lawsuit is public knowledge and has reputation damaging effects. Press would have had a field day even before he ran for POTUS. And in NYC, you never know what the outcome will be with the psychos on the jury even if you're innocent.
