If anyone is really surprised this man has no scruples or sense of decency to rip off people for his own personal financial gain, they haven’t been paying attention…or worse, are as unscrupulous as he is, and have no moral objection to this kind of behavior.
OT — but btw TPM, I’m waiting for your article on fucking Louisiana just having an anti-abortion measure passed into law by their idiot Democratic Governor. Please include this somewhere. There’s so much happening around the country besides this Dumpster’s shady deals…for which I’m sure we’ll find there is no bottom-feeding he won’t involve himself in or associate himself with…
Here’s the news out of LA:

In testimony for the case, Ronald Schnackenberg, a former employee at the school tasked with selling courses, said he resigned in 2007 because he felt Trump University “was engaging in misleading, fraudulent, and dishonest conduct.”
“Schnackenberg”?!? That sure sounds like a Mexican name to me. No wonder he has it in for Mr. Trump.
I’m starting to feel like media coverage of Donald is changing and becoming less timid and more aggressive. Anyone else feeling this?
And has these stories start to build up, they will also start to stick, finally. With enough blood in the water, maybe more journalist will grow a pair and finally start to go after him.
This should make the HorseRace even more DRAMATIC!!!
As if there was any doubt;
From the DSM 5: Narcissistic Personality Disorder
"A pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following:
- has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)
- is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
- believes that he or she is “special” and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)
- requires excessive admiration
- has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations
- is interpersonally exploitative, i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends
- lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others
- is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her
- shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes"
Interestingly, one of the more frequently studied social behaviors predicted by narcissism is aggression. Another is relationship difficulties. Winner winner, chicken dinner. Duckin’ Donald’s got it bad. It’s just gonna get better and better!
Increiblemente, fue un latino (el juez) que empezo la lucha agresiva contra Trump…en la prensa…en los politicos democratas…en las acciones de la gente.
Yeah, I think the media smells Trump’s blood in the water.

De acuerdo, y viva la raza! Ojala que hemos descubierto su talĂłn de Aquiles. Y el tiene dos. Hillary esta atacando la otra!
Trump U sounds much worse than the time-share sales I’ve been to (but never bought). At least I got some compensation (show tickets, overnight stay) for listening to the pitch. These poor bastards had to pay for the opportunity.
Man, I wish I wasn’t on the 16th floor. Having to go all the way down the elevator to go outside and scream instead of screaming in the office is a pain in the ass. I think there’s good hope that such a ridiculous anti-abortion measure is tossed out completely in Court, but who knows…the Dubya appointees are still the gifts that keep on taking. That entire article was fucking infuriating and someone should take Governor Edwards outside and stomp his fucking head on a curb. “Democrat” my hairy white Irish ass. He’s a fucking disgrace. Fuck him.
A con man’s gotta con…
Yes, the tide is shifting noticably. I’m guessing it has something to do with Trump starting to attack journalists who have the temerity to ask fairly straightforward, obvious questions. The wagons are being circled.
Actually, southern Germany along the Mexican border (according to his SPOX Sara P.)!
Not strong or fast enough! A rip tide is needed! He will swim against the current and, ultimately, drown! One can only dream!
A federal judge on Tuesday unsealed hundreds of pages of documents in a class action lawsuit against Trump University, revealing the craven moves the school founded by Donald Trump used to convince people to drop tens of thousands of dollars for seminars on the real estate business.
I’m sure this is the first Mr. Trump has heard of this, and he’ll have to look into it. It’s very sad that a few bad apples, of whose actions he had no knowledge whatsoever, have smeared the honorable name of this wonderful institution of higher learning.
Oh, I don’t know. I’d hate to see the G.O.P. actually come up with a better candidate before their convention. Having Donnie Dimwit as the standard bearer makes it all the more likely that they’ll lose both houses of Congress, as well. I’m thinking Cannae.
Bet the Trump U grads proudly display their diplomas, huh?

(“We love the poorly educated.”)
Practicing to be the next Trump spokesman? It’s very convincing!
The most damaging thing is that either Trump had no idea what was going on and just likes to put his name on any kind of crap… or he was actually involved. Neither is good for the Trump brand.
