fact check : Trump University

[Guest]

Trump said that the so-called university “had an A rating from the Better Business Bureau.” Actually, it once had an “A+” rating, according to a Better Business Bureau spokeswoman. But its most recent rating was a “D-.”
Trump claimed that “many of” the university’s instructors were “handpicked” by him. That’s not true. In a 2012 deposition, a top executive for Trump University said that “none of our instructors” was picked by Trump himself.
Trump said that “98 percent of the people that took the courses … thought they were terrific.” That’s misleading. A class-action lawsuit against Trump alleges that the surveys were not anonymous and were filled out during or immediately after sessions when participants were still expecting to receive future benefits from the program

This is the rub for me.

Whether it's about Trump university, paying taxes or Carrier Corp moving jobs to Mexico, does it all boil down to a smart businessman making a smart business decision?

"They were workers from Carrier Corp., a United Technologies company, whose factory here announced one bleak day back in February that by 2017 it would outsource 1,400 jobs to a manufacturing plant in Monterrey, Mexico, leaving only 200 non-union research and development jobs behind. The video went viral, racking up more than 3.7 million views on YouTube—a readymade Make America Great Again speech anecdote for Trump. As the billionaire arena storms Indiana, Trump routinely calls the Carrier workers out in rallies, and has talked up their plight since February."

If the candidate thinks the audience wants to hear smart they defend smart. But if the audience wants to hear unfair they defend unfair. You can't have it both ways.
