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.

Being a celebrity does have its drawbacks. If DT gets the nomination he’ll have hildabeast and company to worry about. At least the discussions will be about substance instead of petty crud.

“Furthermore, the alleged report says BBB reports are not to be used in advertisements or promotions, but Trump did it Anyway. Obviously, rules don’t apply to him.”

I haven’t followed this closely but it appears that TRUMP did not present it to promote himself but to refute a previous public announcement?

No it was afterwards during the interviews and reporting junk.

Will Fox news apologize?

“Is this all they have? Trump has somewhere around 100 businesses and we worry about 1....”

Still, I’d like to see Trump clear this up if he can. Charges of scamming trusting students are serious, especially from someone who claims to be squeaky clean in his business dealings.

Trump needs to quickly move to get the facts out there to refute accusations that students and their parents were defrauded. I’d like to know what Trump promised.

Does anyone know why Trump University failed? Or was Trump University so successful that it had to be closed for some reason unrelated to failure?

Perhaps after review of student report cards on the University the BBB saw that the vast majority of students were pleased.

“You should find a real issue. But if ya think this is a big issues years later, post it in breaking news.”

Trump is a really, really great businessman - all he does is win, win, win - and he is very, very honest. This is what I am told everyday and what you believe. It is a reason, we are told, to vote for Donald Trump.

But is it really true?

Did Trump University fail, or was it shut down because it was too successful?

He has a string of businesses that have gone bankrupt - but that aside...

it doesn’t bother you that, a couple weeks ago - he ‘was the only candidate” that visited the company that just announced they were moving to Mexico ... and chastised them...while all the while, his clothing line business is - in Mexico...and he has businesses in China, etc...he blusters but, but - “it costs less and it’s LEGAL - it’s LEGAL”

He is everything that’s wrong - the epitome of crony capitalism - quid pro quo mega donations for favors he wants - etc. Trump has one core motive in life - TRUMP.
It’s okay for HIM to move his companies out of country?

Trump does not have a string that went bankrupt. Google is your friend, bankruptcy are used in business everyday, the law allows you to re organize.

New rating?

It was a D and now it’s an A? What changed?

What changed is Trump shut down Trump University and opened up the Trump Enterprise Initiative.

“See ya!”

You ran from the issue faster than Al Sharpton passing an IRS late-payment center.

How did he just happen to have a fax available anyway?

I was watching the debate and googled an MSNBC Trump U A rating story within 3 secs of Meagan Kelly attacking Trump with it. I assume some of Trump's people were fact checking on in real time and then faxed info to Trump's people at the debate...easy peasy. Point is the A rating is for real, of course BBB scores are dynamic and subject to change, but Trump was telling the truth and the witch Kelly either knew it was a lie and threw it out there anyway, or she was too lazy to do her homework. Regardless, it is a non issue. I am still waiting to here of Megan's apology.

I guess you’re not aware that he wants to change the way the game is played to stop this kind of thing. Until he’s elected, however, he has a right to make money. Would you rather he was a failed businessman who LOST money?
