Trump University Students can recover

Trump University Students weren’t taught that they could declare tax write-offs like Donald did in 1995 or declare bankruptcy …………….. oh wait a minute students “must” pay their school debt and can’t use that as a tax deduction like Donald. I guess you have to have $916 million in debt from a gambling casino to do that. I never heard of a casino going bankrupt other than Donald’s…………….. Trump is the hugggest and bestttest at avoiding taxes. I'm not smart like Donald, I pay my way in this country because it's the right thing to do.

Do you think he’ll change any tax code to help the student or the little guy should he become president?

If you think a casino or any business for that matter is a license to print money and does not face the same risks as all other businesses, you should probably do a lot more reading and studying about business before you make such statements.

Just one example:

Default Trump has the answer

DEFINITION of 'Privatizing Profits And Socializing Losses '

A phrase describing how businesses and individuals can successfully benefit from any and all profits related to their line of business, but avoid losses by having those losses paid for by society. Privatizing profits and socializing losses suggests that when large losses occur for speculators or businesses, they are able to successfully lobby government for aide rather than face the consequences of said losses.

Default Judge issues pretrial rulings in Trump U. suit

Judge issues pretrial rulings in Trump U. suit

Quote:
Whether the civil trial will actually open in a San Diego courtroom on the Monday after Thanksgiving remains in some doubt. Trump's lawyers have asked for a delay until after the inauguration, citing the president-elect's need to carry out transition-related duties and prepare to take over the White House on Jan. 20. The attorneys pursuing the lawsuit on behalf of Trump University attendees say the six-year-old case should proceed as scheduled, even if Trump is unavailable to testify

...The judge is also pressing the two sides to explore a settlement in the case, but the prospects for such a deal — which would likely have to encompass a total of three related lawsuits — remain uncertain.
Judge issues pretrial rulings in Trump U. suit - POLITICO

The rationale is that President Trump will have more time to deal with this already delayed for 6 years lawsuit than President-elect Trump?

He is just stalling some more , trying to make it
even more expensive , hoping plaintiffs will run out of money.
squeeze them so they will give up. As much as he flew around the country during election he surely should
be able to make it back and forth to CA in no time. I am
so glad that the pursuing lawyers are
proceeding.

I'm glad they're going forward as well. As far as the case in NY, NY's Attorney General Eric Schneiderman did not seem likely to let Mr. Trump slide back in June:

Quote:
...The law is very clear. The law protects the gullible as well as the sophisticated. As we've seen over the course of the last year, there are a lot of people who fall for Mr. Trump's promises and rhetoric," Schneiderman said. ...

You realize this quote from NY's Dem AG is pure political, also dates from June 2016. Which makes it a pure political stunt on your part.

Let the courts decide innocence or guilt, assuming it get's that far. Businesses are in the habit of weighing ultimate costs in these sorts of civil actions. There will be a settlement, as happens in the vast majority of these situations.

Agreed. Although, he's been delaying it for 6 years already. & he had bigger fish to fry for the last 2 years at least - how does defrauding the plaintiffs in the Trump University cases compare to defrauding the entire Country?

From the article, linked earlier in this thread, from June 2016:

"New York's attorney general, who is leading a lawsuit against Trump University there, made his view of the case clear on Thursday: "It's fraud. This is straight up fraud."

You're using the same lame defense as Mr. Trump. From the article that I specifically noted was written in June 2016:

Quote:
...We sued him in 2013. He says it's a political case. Nobody in August 2013 thought that this guy was going to be the Republican nominee for president," the attorney general said Thursday. "Thousands of people were bilked out of millions of dollars. Our first priority is to get their money back and to reestablish the legitimacy of educational institutions in New York State. ...
