See the film ‘The Big Short’. It wasn’t Donald Trump that created the housing bubble, not by a long shot.

And it wasn’t $30k for seminars, it started at $1500. So that’s another scumbag media lie you let them cram up your rear. Shows you for the tool you are.

The seminars were conducted at a time when housing was booming and a lot of people made money. They lost money later when the housing market collapsed. That’s not Trump’s fault.

No but you get my point. Millions of folks seeking to get rich quick by taking advantage of phony appraisals and easy lending criteria (”Yeah, put down that I make $500,000 a year - that’s the ticket!”) exacerbated the situation that resulted in the inevitable crash. Trump didn’t create it. But he certainly raked in a lot of tuition money. Well, good for him. I’m voting Cruz on Tuesday but still backing Trump in the general if it’s him. This isn’t a big deal for me. Kind of like Carson selling crap supplements. But Carson was roundly criticized here. Perhaps by some of those giving Trump a pass. But in both cases, it’s a big nothing.

Oh, see my #27. I corrected myself for the record. It wasn’t a $5.00 used house-flipping book for $30,000.00. It was a $5.00 used house-flipping book for $1500.00. :-)
