Donald Trump Caught By The Better Business Bureau For Lying About Trump University

“As a result, over time, Trump University’s BBB rating went to an A in July 2014 and then to an A+ in January 2015.”

Trump is facing two class-action lawsuits and a suit from the New York Attorney General for the sketchy business practices of Trump University. But during the Fox News Republican Debate last Thursday, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) confronted the billionaire about the D-minus rating Trump U earned from the Better Business Bureau. Trump flatly denied it saying, “98 percent approval rating. We have an A from the Better Business Bureau.” Rubio then interjected saying that the claim was false while Trump repeated the same claim a second time before saying that many people who took the course went on to become successful.

Trump’s claim was that the BBB initially gave Trump U the D-minus but changed it to an A rating after Trump’s team provided them with necessary information. “The only reason it was a D was we didn’t care. We didn’t give them the information,” Trump continued.

The Independent Journal Review tweeted a video during a commercial break for the debate showing Trump handing a piece of paper to moderators claiming, “Better Business Bureau just sent it…this just came in.”
