Trump goes onto say:

"If you don't learn from the people that we're going to be putting forward, and these are all people who are handpicked by me," Trump said in the commercial.

But confronted with questions about the instructors' lack of real estate experience, Trump acknowledged "he looked at resumes and things but didn't pick the speakers" and some "slipped through the cracks." He was repeatedly pressed on one instructor CBS News told you about back in September, James Harris. Trump said he didn't know who he was and said, "I wasn't running it."

So this is the scam artist who demands of his followers a sworn pledge of allegiance that they will vote for him.

TRUMP UNIVERSITY HAS A 98% APPROVAL RATING. SO WHY IS NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL ERIC SCHNEIDERMAN WASTING MILLIONS IN TAXPAYER MONEY GOING AFTER THEM?

Trump accrued 40 million in revenue from Trump University.

So, anyone who signed up are the real losers cud he got his.

How can that be if 40% were given refunds as stated on court documents?

Smith was sold on the $35,000 package. He initially gave positive reviews but now says that his investment in Trump University was a net loss.

Might want to read the story rather then see a head line and put your own spin on it. Seems this has more to do with sour grapes then anything else. Guess what Real Estate investing is risky. Funny how these people only started whining when their investments LOST money but were just fine with it when they were making money.

court documents show that nearly 40 percent of the students who signed up for the three-day seminar or more received a refund.

So if they got refunds, what's the problem? The refunds actually prove that it wasn't a ripoff.

DISCLOSURE: I am not a Trump fan. I voted for Cruz in the primary. But I think Mitt is a lying scumbag and I will definitely vote Trump if he is the nominee.

So, there were 7,000 total students and 150 of them say it was a fraud.

That’s just over 2%.

That would give credence to Trump’s 98% number.

How wonderfully “Progressive” you “Principled Conservatives” are in thinking the school should be sued to make up for the Students bad business decisions

Keep pounding. His numbers are dropping and Trump will only win in the states where the GOP can’t steal it (caucus states). Trump will end up having to settle for enough delegates to put him over the top, giving him the nomination. What a loser.

Yup. We’re seeing class envy turning to jealousy and hatred.

Like a typical carnival barker, nothing inside is ever as promised.
