Trump Thread X: Trump Lying about Trump University

[JohnStOnge]

You may have seen Trump's claims on Trump University. Well, as usual, he was lying.

First of all. It wasn't just "some lawyer" who sued him. One lawyer who sued him was the New York State Attorney General:

Politifact indicated the following:

Trump said about his entrepreneur institute that "we have an ‘A’ from the Better Business Bureau." Literally speaking, that is inaccurate.

and:

Trump’s claim is literally wrong and also ignores the university’s lower Better Business Bureau scores. We rate it False.

FactCheck.org:

Trump said that the so-called university “had an A rating from the Better Business Bureau.” Actually, it once had an “A+” rating, according to a Better Business Bureau spokeswoman. But its most recent rating was a “D-.”
Trump claimed that “many of” the university’s instructors were “handpicked” by him. That’s not true. In a 2012 deposition, a top executive for Trump University said that “none of our instructors” was picked by Trump himself.
Trump said that “98 percent of the people that took the courses … thought they were terrific.” That’s misleading. A class-action lawsuit against Trump alleges that the surveys were not anonymous and were filled out during or immediately after sessions when participants were still expecting to receive future benefits from the program.

Again: If this guy wins the Republican nomination, the Democrats are going to eviscerate him.

Actually, I think this is your 8th thread of Trump.

Actually, I think this is your 8th thread of Trump.

Just to be sure from now on we can just add. Like the next one will be X+1.

But, really, you should worry less about how many threads I start on Trump and more about what his popularity says about the culture we live in. What's going on right now is absurd. And he actually could end up being President because Hillary might get in legal trouble. This is really, really bad.

And, yes, Trump being President would be worse than Hillary being President.

Hey I just got called for a poll and got to punch the button for saying I have an "extremely unfavorable" opinion of Donald Trump!

John, I applaud your consistency in taking Trump to task over this just like you held Romney's feet to the fire over his connections to the fraudulent for-profit college system and Full Sail University back in '12.

As if the Republicans haven't spent 40 years judiciously craft a strategy to appeal to the very espece d'idiot of which you speak..

C'mon Johnny, get real.

Conks are just mad because Trump took their toy and is beating them vigorously about the head and shoulders with it.

If you're surprised that people agree with Trump, then you haven't been paying attention. What he is saying is nothing new.

X also equals 10.

Only in Roman Numerals.. JSO is scientific. X = ? You solve it yourself.
