You mean a partial settlement from a class action lawsuit
Where do you think the settlement money goes?

You are delusional

Ya, your “evidence” from Quora is not convincing.

One guy owned the business.

Another guy owned a Mercedes and was probably setting up an LLC to reduce taxes. 

And it was just anecdotal evidence, meaning unconvincing

Ya, but not a refund. It was a fine paid by Trump for fraud. 

He was the fraudulent party. He claimed to be closely involved in Trump University. He wasn’t. He lied. He perpetrated a fraud on the people who took classes in a massive bait and switch scam.

A settlement is when a harmed party gets money. In this case it was the money that they paid. They got it back. I called it a refund because, effectively, that was what it was.

When did I say Trump didn't commit fraud with the university?

You compared Trump University to your own college. That was bullshit.

The students at Trump University got a partial refund.

It is a disgrace that a man who perpetrated a massive fraud on poor and middle class Americans was elected to the head of our government

Can you point me to a source that proves they got a partial refund?

You compared Trump University to your own college.
And my point was that college is a waste of money and one of the biggest scamd perpetrated on the American people.

You don't need a college degree at all to be successful.

Everyone knew he was grifter. They vote him because it pidses off the Washington elite who have been ignoring common man. If it was not Trump it would have been Jessie Ventura or Ted Nugent. It wS middle fi ger to Washington not somebody anyone actually cared about. 

Americans will not pick him as president again, although small part of me hopes they do because I want him to go to jail and be elected while in jail and pardon self. It would be funny

It was in all the papers. Can you point to a source that proves they got a full refund?

That’s ridiculous. You are a moron 

Religion is the biggest scam perpetrated on the American people

The government is corrupt and its more and more turning into a socialistic program, with the elites on the top and all of us on the bottom.
ok, socialistic programs help poor people to do better. for example schools, libraries etc. So saying the government is turning into a socialistic program would be a good thing. It would mean the government is doing more to help normal people. But they you follow it up with "the elites on the top and all of us on the bottom" which literally describes all of american history. All presidents have been wealthy and connected. 

It is spiraling out of control and if the Jan 6'ers could have done anything to stop it, I would be happy about it.  I don't want anarchy, I want change.
what exactly is "spiraling out of control"? What has changed in the past 10 or 20 years that is "spiraling"? And how would destroying democracy and installing an idiot as dictator help with that?

The fact that you think that a mob could actually overthrow the government shows the stupidity of the voting mass. 
on their own, of course they couldn't. But then there are people like you. Who didn't go there (presumably) and attack the capitol directly. But would have been perfectly happy to see democracy burn. If they had managed to capture pence or strong arm him into doing something illegal, then a sizable portion of country would have been onboard with it. And the fact that the GOP and their base still thinks it wasn't a big deal (or often a good thing) proves how dangerous it really was. 

Politics is so depressing with people like you and Rooskie diving in with a mouthful of ignorance.
what exactly have I been "ignorant" of?

Mueller exonerated Trump,
no, he didn't. The Mueller report explicitly said they were not exonerating him and that they “accepted” the Department of Justice policy that a sitting President cannot be indicted. He said he felt he didn't have the authority to charge trump with a crime, and since someone who can't be charged with a crime has no opportunity to defend themself in court he can't make accusations of wrongdoing. 

 then the IG said the investigation never should have even happened.
please provide a reference for that.

In reality they had nothing to investigate.
lol, muller brought 37 indictments, got 7 convictions and referred 14 criminal matters to other components of the Department of Justice. But no, i guess that's nothing to investigate. 

This new alleged classified documents probe is the fist time they actually may have something.
may? how is it even deniable. They asked him over and over for the documents back. he refused, then lied and said that he didnt have them. They then got a warrant and found them in his house. They have recordings of him bragging to people that he had them, and that they were still classified. They have footage of trump's employees hiding the documents before people came to look for them. I don't see how anyone could deny he is guilty.

That was actually my parting shot, so I'm done with this thread.  I do not know enough about the subject other than what I have just said, so from here it would just be banter and name calling.

I mean, you didn't really say much of anything. Just generally being pro-trump and saying you would be happy to see him installed as dictator. But whatever, if you want to ride off into the sunset after being pro-dictator, go for it.

who arrested a political opponent? Did joe biden slap handcuffs on Trump? No. Trump is being investigated for his many crimes and the charges are now dropping. They aren't done either. There is at least one more case in georgia where charges will be coming. But trump's political opponents aren't making any decisions on investigations or charges. 

Less opposition means more united country.
what do you mean less opposition? No one has arrested to the republican party. They will still field a candidate. And since current polling shows desantis has better odds of winning the next election than trump does, it would actually be making it more competitive, not less.

Very smart move I see. Do not arrest all Republicans just the most popular ones so they win office less and public will be blinded thinking "we are still fair country not all red team is arrested" .

I dont know if it is smart to arrest sitting president thoug. I hear he can pardon self so maybe you push hard for his arrest if he loses in 2024?
