I looked into Trump University. It was active in the earlier 2000s when a housing boom and then bubble were in full swing. Nearly every person that paid for the training rated it highly and many made a lot of money in real estate.
But in 2008, many people lost money. In 2008, there was a massive real estate collapse due to a once-in-a-century banking collapse.
Is Donald Trump responsible for the real estate collapse of the late 2000s? Of course not. Is he then responsible for people losing money? No.
Greedy lawyers filed for a class action. They certified from the enrollment lists of Trump U a total of 30,000. That does not mean in the least that 30,000 persons think they were scammed by Trump U. Very few think they were scammed.
What it means is that these lawyers (whose backgrounds are found to be unethical) had cheaply printed on small cards a mailer to 30,000 recipients stating that a class action had been filed against Trump U. Such cards always state that the recipient has a chance to opt out in case they wish to pursue their own lawsuit. In almost every such filing, more than 90% throw away the card and so they are opted in by default. And in every one of these cases, the litigants collect very very little while the lawyers take away millions.
The case has dragged on for many many years which indicates that plaintiffs are filing continuances because they can’t get the case together, they are trying to pad their billing or they are hoping to harass their way to a settlement.
That the media would bring the plaintiff’s side of the case to the spotlight to have it tried in public is disgusting. As far as I can tell they have not brought any of the defendant’s facts of the case to the public, only the plaintiffs (who are for all intents and purposes the lawyers). This is beyond disgusting, it is a lynching.
I heard Donald Trump on a video clip say in the debate that it would be very easy for him to settle the case out but he does not choose to because the case is not strong on the plaintiff’s side. But that didn’t stop Fox News from trying to damage Trump with pending litigation.
It would be like having news media report an old nuisance case on you and try and convict you in public without giving you due process. I don’t think you would be happy to see that happen and I’d bet you wouldn’t be able to hold yourself together as well as Donald did in the debate.
Until there is a court ruling, this case means absolutely nothing. We don’t rule against someone before a ruling is made and that is what was attempted here by Megyn Kelly. She is disgusting.
Thanks, Hostage, for your personal testimony, regarding Trump U.
Unfortunately, you’re attempting to present facts and truth into a situation where blind hate for a man won’t and cannot allow facts.
I wonder if these same Trump U bashers even imagine what a CRuzio U would look like. Fully government funded, NO best practices - only worst practice *theories* being pushed. No salt for that scorched Earth way of thinking :(
MOST companies just settle, it saves them a ton of money!!!! This is about principle for Trump!!!
PING!!
Thanks, Hostage and bushwon

Glenn Beck is on ABC right now, holding up Nazi material and directly accusing Trump of being another Hitler. [ ]
In fact, sometimes I wonder what is the purpose of Beck’s amped up, ramped up rhetoric? Equating Trump to Hitler?!?! I don’t know because I have not yet seen this particular show. But I have to ask based on his past comments and actions, is he is attempting to egg on some crazy lone wolf to harm Trump? Is he that crazy? Does he know history and the tactics techniques to dog-whistle a lone wolf? Like I said, I wonder?
He said he won’t settle because he will win. He said it would be much cheaper for him to settle. He also said settling just encourages more frivolous suits.
