TRUMP UNIVERSITY

In addition to A TALE OF TWO FAILURES, Donald Trump opened Trump University, charging over $30,000 for courses in estate management, etc (basically what Trump does).

But Trump was criticised for describing the business as a "university" when it did not have a license to do so, so it changed its name to The Trump Entrepreneur Initiative.

And several former students have taken Trump to court in a class action law suit, which goes to court in November this year, but he is already losing the case:
Trump also filed a $1 million defamation suit against former Trump University student Tarla Makaeff, who had spent about $37,000 on seminars, after she joined the class-action lawsuit and publicized her classroom experiences on social media. Unable to prove malice, Trump University lost an anti-SLAPP lawsuit (under statutes designed to thwart legal intimidation of class-action participants) and was ordered by a federal judge in April 2015 to pay Makaeff and her lawyers $798,774.24 in legal fees and costs. In 2013 the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the judgment, noting that "victims of con artists often sing the praises of their victimizers until the moment they realize they have been fleeced."

Singing the praises of con artists?

Trump buys into a CIA/mob money laundering scheme, gets bailed out by Alan Greenspan, and then gets fined $10 million for money laundering?

You don't need a degree from Trump University to realise who the con artist is.
