Trump keeps getting his way as America's 1st 'suer in chief'

Donald Trump is no stranger to lawsuits. In fact, he was involved in more than 4,000 of them before winning the White House in 2016.

Since then, Trump has made headlines mostly as a defendant — that is, the individual getting sued (for sexual abuse and defamation; for business fraud; for hush-money payments; for trying to end birthright citizenship; and so on).

But now, six months into his second presidential term, Trump is positioning himself as something new: America’s first “suer in chief.”

And the strategy seems to be working.

Late Wednesday, the Trump administration and Columbia University announced that they had settled a months-long dispute that started when the White House accused the Ivy League school of failing to protect Jewish students from discrimination during recent Gaza War protests — then froze the majority of its $1.3 billion a year in federal research grants and funding.

Yes he's also sewer in chief.

The sickening thing we're paying for these.
