Trump University Fraud Cases Settled for $25 Million

I can see we're leading to just claiming stuff without making arguments for so I'll just say what Trump said was marketing hyperbole that turned out not to be true.

 

Troll. If you need to look up hyperbole, after you've made two posts about it,
and you post a link with no explanation,
and the link does not support your argument,
then you are the one "claiming stuff without making arguments."

Some of us don't need supports for facts. "Gravity is real." "Where's your link, Dude?!?!?"

From your link:

My example, previously given: "I picked a million good people."

Now why don't you show how smart you are (we're all excited to watch your brain in action, I'm sure), and explain what is the hyperbole in Trump's words: "These are people that are handpicked by me."

 

Don't misunderstand - I posted the link for your sake because you seemed to be clueless about the practice. But, alright, since you seem to be rather slow at picking up sales jargon, I'll spell the hyperbole for you: the business hired some people with their selection process and Trump said he handpicked them.

 

You still don't know what hyperbole is, after you yourself posted a link about it.

"the business hired some people"-->"Trump said he handpicked them"
That's called "a lie."

 

No, m8, you're the one who doesn't understand how it's a hyperbole. Hiring some people is selection. Trump saying he handpicked them implies an even greater degree of selection.

 

I made the turkey yesterday as well as everything else. I handpicked all of the ingredients. I spiced and prepared everything. (considering I did next to nothing is that hyperbole or a lie?)

 

Depends on the context. Are you selling it to me?

 

I'm selling you on the notion that I did all that

 

Then it's just a lie. If you were trying to sell the turkey to me, then I would've taken it as sales hyperbole.

You see it now?

 

The guy had torts, the gal had crimes.

 

Idk if you're trying to use a colloquial definition for fraud but technically Trump's suits were civil suit, done in civil not criminal court.

Likewise, Idk what you're insinuating the 16 years comment but Hillary's most prominent case is with the e-mails and that only turned up recently.

 

That's not true. Fraud can actually be civil or criminal. The number of people has no bearing on it being criminal, only that the case will be called a class action.

Edit: Fact of the case is that it was only up to civil court.

Not in a consistent degree. It's really only recently that a big case came up. Only when the Clinton Foundation and CGI started doing funny stuff.

 

No...I don't see it and neither do the vast majority of people. If someone says "I handpicked the instructors" and didn't, that is a lie.
