Donald Trump must disclose how much money he made from his so-called Trump University, San Diego U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel ruled this week.

The judge ruled that one of several plaintiffs that had signed up for Trump U is allowed to question the current GOP presidential candidate about the profit he made, whether directly or indirectly, from Trump University.

In his ruling, Curiel added that Trump failed to show "that a broad federal right to financial privacy exists that bars discovery regarding any financial transactions of a defendant accused of defrauding large numbers of people."

"Thus, Trump's payments to, and receipt of funds from, Trump University would be relevant to supporting plaintiffs' claims," Curiel said.

That’s a nice tweet he put out. Just the kind of statesman I expect my president to be. /S

The only nerve you hit is the one that irritates me that conservatives can be so democrat level stupid to buy Trumps BS.

[CatherineofAragon]

Trump is the left.

There's your post of the week right there.

There are public universities = non profit = funded by tax payers = waste galore.

Then there are privately owned universities which must survive on tuitions + voluntary donations, usually run better.

“Why blame Trump for GOP weakness?”

The GOP is OK with weakness. What they hate is when someone does something to point out.
GOP to Trump “Quit telling the truth, people are starting to notice and it’s making us look bad.”

Yeah...sure...right.
Don't hold your breath, Gonzo.

[eyedigress]

You have that in both parties.

[entropy12]

May be Gonzalo Curiel is a Mexican ancestry judge?

[tennmountainman]

Sort of like John Bonehead, Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell BS?

You know the “leaders” of the current GOP.

[eyedigress]

Trump is the left.

So they naturally want to take him out?

[CatherineofAragon]

Did you read the article? It was a scam.

[NormsRevenge]

Good thing he didn’t take over Wharton or Boalt.. The legal business could be a real place to make a killing. Instead of real estate.

[South40]

Large contributions to the corrupt Clinton Foundation, large contributions to the most corrupt liberals in congress, support for banning guns, support for socialized health care, support for amnesty, and now stealing cash from hard working Americans. Is there anything this liberal POS can do that his supporters won't defend?

[Will88]

There have been real estate courses and seminars for decades put on by various entities. Like anything else, once people take a course, they have to go out in the world and try to apply what they believe they can make work.

Some succeed and most probably don’t, and some get mad and sue.

[SatinDoll]

There have been many educational organizations that offer seminars on-line or at resorts for a fee. Many involve how to succeed in real estate. I used to be in real estate and have seen these offerings on-line or received sales pitches by mail.

They can only help you if you are already involved in selling real estate successfully, such as residential or small commercial businesses, and are looking to move up into complicated commercial or industrial developments. Some of the people who bought into this Trump University on-line, and there are many “universities” that offer education on-line legally, may have been seeking a easier way than what most folks have found when they try to sell real estate.

There is no way an education can make you market smart if you don’t already have that part down pat.

And anyway, the Judge that called this is named Gonzales, or something like that. Gee, no bias there!

[CatherineofAragon]

Liberals are pretty damn stupid. I guess they believed him when he said he was a Republican, despite his record and the words out of his own mouth.

Our side is supposed to be smarter than that.

[South40]

That weak defense has already been covered in post# 20. Curiel is part of the ancient legacy of the Anglo Saxon tribes of Britain.

[o2bfree]

It’s also sad 90% of the Republicans in Washington are pussies. Too bad none of the liberal republican candidates for President are willing to say what needs to be said.

Let the politicians explain how they can swing deals that would send you or I to prison. Let Hillary explain how she turned 1000 into 100k in the futures market by reading the WSJ. Corruption in the political class is only pursued if there is a underlying reason.
