REVEALED: Trump’s hidden video deposition in Trump University fraud case

Post by _Jersey Girl »

Just came across this. I don't even care if a discussion ensues about it. Just wanted to post it for anyone who hasn't seen it yet. This is Trump in 2015. You can read the video description below the title. Be sure to open the show more. I don't really know who/what Mother Jones is.

The fact of the Trump University Scam alone, in a rational world, should have been enough to render Trump ineligible to run for any public office, let alone President, especially in light of the fact of the strong evidence that the AGs of both Florida and Texas were bribed by Trump's organization to end or limit criminal prosecution of the case.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

A deposition puts Trump in a position where he does not have ultimate control. What is fascinating to me is Trump's subdued demeanor. It is the exact inverse of his normal bombastic self.

FYI, Mother Jones is a politically left magazine. It's named after a prominent union organizer and activist. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother_Jones

I think I may have mentioned this here at the time, but I remember when the Trump University trial was happening before the election, and I mentioned it to a Trump supporting friend of mine. He had the amazing ability to compartmentalize when he told me, "Those people should have known better."

That's right; he blamed the victims for being fooled. He blamed the victims for believing in Trump's "success" and paying him money in an attempt to better themselves with education.

So I asked, "Now that you know he cons people, are you going to be another one of his suckers?"

"This is different."

I don't know how to interpret that exchange without thinking Trump fans are dumb as rocks.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

If you were LDS, you could "know" they are as dumb as rocks rather than just "thinking" it.
