5:30 PM CST===> CNN reporting what we all know about Trump University

they're making a big deal out of it, calling "everything about Trump U is a lie, including the name"--meaning the use of 'University'

watch now....pretty interesting, including how bad he's dumping on the Hispanic judge, then says (close paraphrase), "I think the Mexicans are going to end up loving me!"

this could be GREAT!

he's SO delusional

The love affair might be over.

The media money men may figure that now the crowds just might be ready to watch the spectacle of the mighty falling hard.

used the vet money reneging to push theTrump U fiasco out of the dialogue. hey! ASS! YOU allow him to set the narrative. YOU are the ones who can ignore his BS and shove Trump U down his throat, just as YOU shoved the totally BOgus Swiftboat affair down Kerry's throat and HANDED the election to dumbo; and let's not even talk about Ohio.

FFFFFF you, MSM. if you did a narrative similar to what you foisted on the public vis a vis Gore and Kerry, things would have been a whole lot different, starting with NO 911. Can you imagine......

on Trump U

let's hope that this is the first step in the incredibly unimaginable scenario of the MSM actually doing its job

I doubt, it, based on over 40 years' experience (read Walter Karp: Liberty Under Siege, in which the media, along with Tip ONeill and the rest of the congressional corpocrats undermined his presidency from the moment he as elected, not even waiting til the inauguration)

scumbag salesman tried to close the deal with people that didn't havPe enough money to BUY FOOD!


let's GO, MSM....do your JOB!

HOUND him the way they did Gore on inventing the internet

HOUND him they way they did Kerry on the Swiftboat 'affair'

how sweet would it be if they did their job, for the first time since the Pentagon Papers/Watergate, and perhaps, because Trump is such a PRICK, and has gone so insane against the media (did you see the clip where he singled out the ABC reporter as a 'sleaze'?)

GO GET HIM!!!!

excuse maker, giving actual verifiable facts in contrast to her lamely repeated BS about all the positive reviews of the course, when ANYone who's been following the fiasco knows that those were reviews from people who took the initial three day session, which was all pump up the bullshit, and aimed SOLELY at getting these sheep to invest all the way up to the 35 K the REALLY gullible imbeciles allowed themselves to have fleeced from them

ask the ones who lost all that money after the multiple scam stages they bought into how they feel.

scientology/Amway, anyone?

I really hope this becomes the tipping point

I might actually start following things for the laff quotient, much as the Nixon caper evolved, starting when Hunter Thompson started covering it

read Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail 1972, for excellent political commentary, and HUGH LAFFS, as well!
