Still inconclusive without the whole story.
My company could have just paid the fine...and then you could say, "See!!! They willfully violated DOT regulations!! BAD COMPANY!!". But that still wouldn't be an accurate assessment of the event.
Perhaps, unlike my company, Trump decided it would be more cost effective to just pay the fine. I don't know if that's a fact, but then, I'm not jumping on the "Trump is a bad guy" bandwagon over it.
The whole story is that Trump was illegally paying employees below minimum wage and erasing the overtime hours accrued by his employees and was required to compensate them with back wages. There is nothing more to tell.
