This has become the primary method by which Trump collects bribes - he files a spurious lawsuit, then the company he's suing "settles" it.
Basically they just hand him a big pile of money, but with a couple of diversionary steps along the way, which really isn't enough for anyone with a working brain and an ounce of integrity to fail to see that it's a bribe, but is enough for all of the people without integrity to pretend it's not.
