Did Trump write a sequel to "the Art of the Deal"?

The Art of the Shady Deal?

Trump May Have To Take A Break From Campaigning To Handle Fraud Case Against Trump University

GOP frontrunner Donald Trump might have to take a break from the campaign trail to deal with a civil case alleging that Trump University committed fraud against its students. The case may require Donald Trump’s presence as a witness this spring, though a trial date has not yet been scheduled, Yahoo Politics first reported.

If the trial happens in May, it could gum up Trump’s schedule, Yahoo explained — that’s the same month that primaries are held in Nebraska, West Virginia, Oregon, Washington, and there are many important primary dates in early June.

The “university,” which first began operating in 2005 and no longer exists, was not accredited and did not have a campus. It also did not give students degrees. Instead, students went to the website and bought expensive CDs and DVDs; some of them paid as much as $35,000 for their Trump University education.

Trump hasn’t waded into the subject on the campaign trail and has been more vocal on other education subjects such as Common Core state standards, which he opposes, and the U.S. Department of Education, which he intends to cut heavily. The real estate mogul said in his Nevada caucus victory speech on Tuesday that he loves the “poorly educated.” If Trump advocates cutting the Department of Education and discourages oversight of for-profit colleges as president, perhaps there will be more poorly educated voters to love.

"You will now explain how a person that lives in Canada knows more about David Duke and the KKK, than Donald Jesse Trump."

One knows not just what they read but what they choose to read.
