Trump keeps saying Trump U had A rating from Better Business Bureau

Trump keeps saying Trump University had A rating from Better Business Bureau. Another lie. It may have started with an A, but by the time it went out of business the rating was a D-.

  • Even if it did, that's more of a bad commentary on the BBB. After all, TU DID fail, regardless of rating.

    You can put a tutu on a corpse, but it doesn't mean it's a ballerina.

  • Like I trust any politicians to run anything without royally screwing it up. Their's a reason most of these people going into politics, it's because they can't run a business.

    • I would like to go into politics, I would really like to try and fix the mess that we are in now, but I don't have time, I'm too busy running a business. :-D

    • So much for Trump's claim that they win every lawsuit against the school, and I love the defense his lawyers offered: instead of denying that Trump University was a scam, they claimed that the statute of limitations had run out. Nice. "World class businessman" my ass.

    • That's for "The Trump Entrepreneur Initiative" which means the business had already been spanked by its low BBB rating and complaints about calling itself a university (when it was clearly NOT a university), so it had to change its name. Notice, at your link, that it is not accredited by the BBB and notice the unresolved complaints to the BBB. And notice even your defense leaves Trump in the position of being a liar because, last I checked, "B" is a different letter than "A."

      • Um, where did I defend Trump? I pointed out the facts, because the moderators last night, Rubio, Mitt etc decided to play fast and loose with the truth too.

        But then again, I coudl defend Trump if I was so inclined......

        But when it was assessed by BBB Serving Metro New York, the Trump Entrepreneur Initiative — the name under which Trump University has most recently operated — had, indeed, gotten the BBB's top rating in the past, it said. http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/better-business-bureau-trump-right-rating-mostly-n527671

        The name change took place in 2010, when the NY Dept. of Education took issue with the name as a violation, as I pointed out in my post....no academic degrees or certifications
