The Trump University scandal continues to provide fodder for late night comedians, democrats, and Trump haters, but as usual, The Donald complains about being treated unfairly by his judge because of the judge's Mexican heritage.

Seth Meyers offers a hilarious analysis of the situation with his "Closer Look" segment, which begins with a quote of one of Trump's recent Twitter tweets:

Wow, USA Today did todays cover story on my record in lawsuits. Verdict: 450 wins, 38 losses. Isn't that what you want for your president?

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 2, 2016

Of the tweet, Meyers says:

"I gotta be honest. I don't know if I do want a president with 488 lawsuits because that's the number sticking in my head, not your win/loss record. If someone said, 'I've been on Maury Povich 55 times, but I've only been the father twice,' I'd wonder about the 55."

Trump apparently loves getting sued almost as he loves filing for corporate bankruptcy, making racist comments, and encouraging his followers to use violence against people who aren't so fond of The Donald.

See the entire video segment here:

Trump's comments about the judge overseeing the lawsuit against Trump University were categorically racist, but there is no evidence Trump plans to admit to making racist comments. In fact, Trump refused to admit his comments were racist despite being asked 20 times in an interview conducted by a reporter from CNN.

"Trump, pressed by CNN's Jake Tapper more than 20 times on whether he was invoking racism in his attacks on the judge, continued to point to his plans to build a wall between the U.S. and Mexico and renegotiate trade agreements between the two countries as justification and validation of his critiques."

Trump brags about his billions so often that he should probably just volunteer to pay for the wall on his own dime. Can we ignore the fact that more Mexicans are leaving the United States than coming to it, that none of the 9/11 hijackers got into the United States across the U.S./Mexico border, and that the wall would be fiscally unsustainable?

If you're in Trump's head or part of his ridiculous campaign, the answer to that question is a resounding "yes."

However, former president of Mexico, Vicente Fox, said it best:

"I'm not going to pay for that f***ing wall."

It doesn't matter who Trump expects to pay for his wall. His crazy ideas are crap, his attitude is ridiculous, and his threats are imbecilic. #anyonebuttrump
