If you want to see the fetid, rotten âcoreâ of scam and rip-off Trump University, it has been placed on full view, just this morning, in an interview with a TU âinstructorâ! Other than pure ego, I canât even fathom why this odious snake-oil salesman gave the interview or didnât run for cover. Itâs flesh crawling and a mirror into the heart, soul and mind of Trump and his âbusinessesâ and his business practice:
The more the curtain is pulled back on this monumental scam and itâs namesake, the better for everyone except the criminals who perpetrated this charade and theft.
On the one hand, Iâd love to see Trump discover that trying to bully Curiel was not the smartest move, and get his comeuppance. On the other hand, I suspect Curiel is above taking his well-earned revenge, and will judge this matter even-handedly.
The videos should be released so that the draft dodging coward and asshole loser can be shown to his followers as what he isâŚclueless.
As I recently read on another blog, wouldnât Curiel be accused of bowing to intimidation from Trump if he DIDNâT allow the release of the videos? If La Donald had kept his big mouth shut in the first place about the judge, he wouldnât be sweating this now. But that would take logic and reasoning and thinking about the consequences of ones own actions. Heavens, we couldnât expect a Republican to endure something like THAT!
Slamming the judge was his preemptive strike, claiming that the process was âriggedâ so that, if the judge does now release the videos, Donny Dipshit can claim âSee? I told you it was rigged! And the tapes have been edited to make me look bad!â
And his fringe-dwelling under-educated followers will believe him.

I think you have that backwards.
I believe a precedent has been set that videos of even sitting Presidents should be released to the public, e.g., Bill Clintonâs 1998 deposition in the Paula Jones case. That case was also a federal action, just as the instant case is. Curiel should be bound by precedent, and that means releasing the videos. How they are used after that is not his concern.
But even in their filing, they admit that the release of the video would have no relevance to the litigation. So they shot their own argument in the head. If it doesnât have relevance or will not adversely affect the litigation proceedings, then there is no legitimate reason the judge should factor in what happens politically/media wise outside the court by releasing them and being transparent.
This will be a very interesting decision. I actually side with Trump at the moment. If you have the full transcripts, it seems the video/audio is unnecessary (to a point). I get the body language argument, but if they didnât allow it for Ms. Mills, they shouldnât for Trump.
Thatâs because Trump and his base have no standards.
Trump has no standards for even lying. He will make up the most asinine childish claims, and deliver them with just enough confidence to get the job done, and thatâs itâthatâs enough. No further effort needs to be put into lying good.
And because Trump supporters have no standards at all, anything Trump says is automatically âgoldenâ somehow. It matters not what is said: it only matters that Trump said it, with characteristic confidence, if only just barely.
Weâre dealing with the bottom of the barrel here, folks.
It wonât matter what Trump says about it, because all people will be talking about is what a lying POS Donald is and what a scam Trump U is. But Donald can always send a Tweet with a Mexican flag on it, since he canât use a Star of David in this instance.
That is one thing that has always driven me to distraction: if a private citizen, or even a house of Congress, is allowed to sue the President, then why isnât the President allowed to sue a private citizen, or the Senate or the House? I remember when members of Congress were spreading the most blatant lies about the Clintons, from the chambers themselves. How come Bill Clinton wasnât allowed to sue? How come Obama canât sue the House, after theyâve sued him for everything from Obamacare to recess appointments? Why is the President denied the same rights as private citizens and members of Congress?
The very phrase âTrump Universityâ is a lie. It was never a university and it is simple fraud to say it was.
Future references to this scam ( https://youtu.be/KJHT46rvP_w ) should be to Trump âUniversity.â
And the blowhard just realized that he really has no power ⌠heâd better get up on the Republican Political Speak and hone that time-honored phrase âŚâoopsâ
Talk about Karmic debt biting someone in the ass.
He will judge it based on past legal precedence, and that does not bode well for Trump.
Well, dommyluc, perhaps you should reread the First Amendment. The purpose of the Amendment was to prevent the government - that is a President, Senator, Congressman, Mayor, Alderman, etc. - from retaliating against the citizenry for holding opinions which they found they did not like for whatever reasons. To understand why, please read the Declaration of Independence, which basically was giving a one-fingered salute to George III.
Iâd try to suppress the testimony, too, after seeing the CNN interview today with Trump University salesman James Harris. This will end badly for every con man involved, including Trump.
Trump makes every decision for itâs immediate short-term benefit to him. He doesnât care about anyone else. In fact, it would be questionable that he even recognizes that anyone else besides himself exists.
he said, "I didnât give it a lot of thought, because I was in business."Is this going to be his excuse when he hits the nuclear football and starts WW III?
We are all here to provide a backdrop to Trump-world which exists solely for his entertainment.
And if anyone thinks he remembers saying this ten minutes later, forget it. Thatâs long term memory and thinking, neither of which Trump considers part of business or of his world. All he has to do is get his lawyers to convince the judge to not release the video and he is off the hook - again.
Great qualifications for president, huh?
