Arrogance and Hypocrisy of Trump Calling Recount..."A Scam"...

from this headline at CNN... Clinton to join recount that Trump calls 'scam'
:http://www.cnn.com/2016/11/26/politics/clinton-campaign-recount/....Why?

TRUMP SCAMMED THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO SIGNED UP FOR "TRUMP UNIVERSITY'

Within the last 10 days, Trump has settled a charges that he basically stole millions of dollars from people who signed up to learn about making money through , "Trump University" ..He agreed to pay 25 million to settle the claims with the government...that is...25 million to cover a "scam" that he was responsible for...He stole people's money claiming one thing, that never existed.....ok.....

So it looks like there was some voter fraud..in certain states, there is some evidence..and people are looking into it and a recount is going to be made..we will find out how much there was, if there was...

But...here is someone who settled with his money, for something he did and that settlement proves there was something terribly wrong, (25 million is a lot, 6000 were accusing Trump of basically stealing money)..and he has the nerve to call the act of people who are honestly looking into an election that looks like there might be severe problems with the counting......"a scam"... Just think of that one for a moment..

Here is a link to the story in the Washington Post..Where Trump settled the lawsuit...November 18,...
