In court filings this week, Live Nation confirmed Michael Rapino had spoken with Trump before the settlement but said that "no substantive terms regarding any potential settlement were discussed."

"By almost every measure, life is better than ever."
However, we often feel otherwise. And some people want us to believe otherwise.
