This is how he backs down off that stupid lawsuit against Uncle Sam, which he wouldn't have won anyway.

So now he has dropped the lawsuit and I'm guessing there will be no oversight as to what actually happens to that $1.7 billion. Practically none of it will be distributed, he'll keep almost all of it. Remember the "Trump Foundation"? Yeah, same bullshit, different day.
