Trump Sticks It To Fox News And Megyn Kelly When He Gives THIS To Moderators Mid-Debate

Did Donald Trump's fax finally settle the debate over the facts?

One of the more contentious moments for the GOP front-runner at the latest Republican primary debate came when Sen. Marco Rubio and debate moderator Megyn Kelly questioned the performance record of Trump University, a now-defunct real estate training program that spawned class-action lawsuits by former students as well as a lawsuit by New York's attorney general.

On the stage, Trump maintained that the program, which was renamed the Trump Entrepreneur Initiative before ceasing operations in 2011, had earned an "A" rating from the Better Business Bureau, which both Kelly and Rubio disputed.

"The rating from the Better Business Bureau was a D minus," Kelly insisted.

Trump said that grade had been changed.

"It was elevated to an A," he countered over and over.

The dispute over the facts and Trump's veracity was left there during the televised face-off. However, at a commercial break shortly before the debate ended, Trump left the stage to hand a fax to Fox News' Brett Baier, who also moderated the event. Here is the moment captured by Independent Journal Review.

That fax, as Trump trumpeted via Twitter and in a Facebook post, contained the updated BBB letter grade.

The allegations around Trump University, the class-action lawsuits and the attorney general’s case, are likely to continue dogging the billionaire businessman. But on one aspect of the issue, anyway, he might have made the grade.

“Truth be told, using brilliant graphics, Megan Kelly took Trump to the cleaners showing his Trump University was a scam from beginning to end.”

So the 98% of participants that approved of the U, were all scammed? Please....

Sorry but Trump received the paper that was faxed to one of his lawyers from a staffer than downloaded it. BBB doesn’t fax, they provide accounts for downloading.

It’s already been discussed at length on previous threads with links to the document in question.

Trump told the truth, the last rating was A (2012) after it had been made D- (2010) by two lawyers who no longer have a license to practice.

Total smear and hit job my Megyn Kelly. It won’t work.

Only if you were a credulous, Trump-hating knucklehead.

Since when is it acceptable for debate moderators to use “graphics” directed at a candidate in a political debate? Has anyone else ever been similarly confronted by a debate moderator?

I can seem Trumpism has rubbed off on you. No wonder his comment, that he “loves the least educated.”

A bit off topic, but wasn’t Trump boycotting debates on Fox, w/M.Kelley?

What happened to that?

And the bottle blonde is a joke

Yeah but you have to admit that the 2" eyelashes were a hit with the rest of the world!

IMHO moderators faces should never be seen on screen during any political debate. If they are, the debate becomes about them and not the candidates.

That link shows there is “no rating” by BBB reported as of 5/22/2010. How do people come up with a “D” rating?

Trump “University “ was a sleaze-ball operation that used high pressure sales tactics to separate middle-class Americans from their hard-earned money. Trump put his name on it and promoted it, and now he expects us to trust him to be president.

He needs to answer to the American people about this. Fox was damn right to bring it up. They would not be doing their job if they didn’t.

Donald pulling the fast switcheroo to change the name doesn’t make the problem go away. In fact, it looks like he is doubling down on the sleaze.

If there were really very few complaints why doesn’t he just refund the money? He’s running for president for Pete’s sake. If he is really so rich he should have paid a few thousand to make the problem go away.

The Rats are going to have a field day with this if Donald gets the nomination.
