Here’s What Donald Trump Handed the Fox News Hosts During the Commercial Break

After being corrected on the Better Business Bureau rating of Republican presidential frontrunner Donald J. Trump’s claim that his now-defunct Trump University received a D- rating, Trump offered debate moderator Bret Baier something new.

During a commercial break, Trump handed Baier a fax from the Better Business Bureau using a new rating, captured on video by Independent Journal Review: At the debate in Detroit, Michigan, Trump took heat for the class action lawsuit against his failed for-profit college.

The results of Trump’s new Better Business Bureau score were not publicized during the debate, as the candidates made their closing remarks following the transaction.

Trump posted a copy of the fax on Facebook, showing an ‘A’ grade from the BBB

See link for the fax Trump handed Brett Baier.

At least the discussions will be about substance instead of petty crude.

How's that? The "crude" will still be there - Leopards and spots -

“I guess you’re not aware that he wants to change the way the game is played to stop this kind of thing.”

Is this what you believe?

He has been catching flack since 2013. When you weren’t paying attention. Cruz is the person on stage who is second most hated by the Establishment. Maybe Romney will get in if Trump falters, which I doubt.

Let me respond to your post like this: you ran from the issue faster than Al Sharpton passing an IRS late-payment center.

Because he handed her a copy of an old New York Better Business Bureau for Trump Entrepreneurial Initiative and not Trump University. When Trump changed the name in 2011 Trump University had a grade of D- from the New York BBB. When Trump changed the name then the old grade was dropped and it was considered a brand new company and it starts with a A rating. Currently Trump Entrepreneurial Initiative has no grade from the New York BBB because they believe it has gone out of business

Do you do all of your research by yourself in the middle of the night or do you have a team of operatives you're working with?

Why didn’t Kelly apologize after seeing that?

_______________________________________________________

The D was for Trump University. After the state of NY got done with them calling themselves a University the name was legally changed to Trump Enterprise Initiative. Different legal entity.

So the A was for Trump EI, not Trump U. OF course by now Trump ENterprise has few customers. Nothing to bitch about. Cute move by Trump but meaningless.

I have a team of squirrels locked to computers in the basement. I send them a question, and a few peanuts, and they search the web for the information and email it to me. They manage to outwit Trump Chumps about 97% of the time.

Ok, I can understand getting the fax, but those grades were on 2 different companies, so may still be irrelevant as to the one that was discussed.

Why should Megyn apologize. What trump gave them was not the rating for Trump university. He had to change the name because to say it was a university was not true.......http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2016/03/04/trump-university-better-business-bureau/

Finding manufacturers in the US that will make clothes to specifications may not be easy. DH wanted good work boots and in order to get GOOD ones and made in the US he had to pay $400.

To: little jeremiah

thanks. A key quote worth re-quoting is “The more apparent inconsistency is that Covais–seeking to demonstrate that Trump University had an accommodating refund policy–declared that the company had issued 2,144 refunds to 6,698 attendees of the $1,495 three-day program, or 32%. That a third of the customers demanded refunds is hard to reconcile with a claimed 98% satisfaction rate, especially since the mass of plaintiffs now suing claimed that they, too, wanted refunds but were, they claimed, told they could not get them because they did not ask for them within 72 hours of the first day of participating in a program. Similarly, the refund rate for the $34,995 program, which according to the lawsuits was tougher on giving money back, was 16%. If at least 31% of one group and 16% of the other were so instantly dissatisfied that they immediately demanded refunds, how could 98% have been satisfied? “

Personally I dont like the BBB. Anybody can complain about the business. Im not sure how many it takes to effect the score. In this day and time some are looking for easy money with law suits.
