TRUMP ADMITS UNDER OATH THAT HIS FAKE UNIVERSITY WAS A SCAM
After trying to act like Trump University was a yuuuuge success during the Republican debates, reality has finally caught up with Donald and boxed him hard right across the jaw.
Two sworn depositions have been unsealed, showing that Trump himself admitted that he had nothing to do with the choosing or vetting process of Trump University instructors. These are the same people that he had been touting for literally years as hand picked representatives who were going to tell you the secrets of Trumps success for the low low price of more than an entire years wages.
TRUMP SPENT A LOT OF TIME TRYING TO ACT LIKE THE LAWSUITS AGAINST TRUMP U WERE NOTHING WORTH TALKING ABOUT. NOW WE KNOW WHY.
The plaintiffs in the suits, as well as New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman in a totally separate case, say that Trump and Trump U willfully exploited Trumps brand to defraud students out of thousands of dollars for a series of increasingly expensive programs that turned out to be an outright sham, as you will see below. The lawsuit totals up to approximately $40 million in fees that were stolen from thousands of people who Trump screwed.

The OP was about tRump so I didn't add that part. Hillary is not for the common wo/man, she is beholden to the powerfully rich assholes of the world in fact I'm not so sure her allegiance even stops at our shores for that matter. The Clinton Foundation is a scam if ever there was one. In my eyes right up there with the Wounded Warriors scam. As Garry Trudeau so eloquently put it in todays Doonesbury.
We can and must do better.

(17,600 posts)You may disagree with a certain Democratic candidate on many issues and feel they are not really at all "progressive" on many issues that are important to you, but that's different than being a "businessman" whose "business" is literally to scam people as much as possible to increase your own profits.
Someone else could ask a similar question, how is Trump's scam any different than some candidates magically becoming Democrats in order to run on that ticket for the 2016 election. And it would be just as stupid a question.
Not only would I not ask it because it's stupid, I'd not ask it because I'm fairly happy with the most visible candidate that thinly veiled attack would be against. To both questions.

(17,600 posts)You are conflating political b.s. that goes on all the time, with real, serious crimes that directly damage individual's lives.
I'm not saying that political b.s. isn't important, just that it's on a whole different scale, and it's insensitive to victims of actual scams - like the Trump University situation - to conflate the two.
But go ahead, cast your vote for Trump when Hillary is the Dem nominee, because you can't see the difference.
