The 5 stages of Trumpism:
1. It's a total lie, never happened, fake news.
2. Ok, so it happened, but it's not a big deal.
3. Ok, so it might be a big deal, but it isn't illegal.
4. Ok, so it's illegal, but but but Hillary and Obama, something unintelligible, so it's okay.
5. WHATEVER LIBBY!! YOU'RE JUST A SORE LOSER. MAGA!!!

Trump loves to brag about how he only pickes the very best people. Trump also said the same thing about the people he handpicked for Trump University. He bragged that he hand-picked only the best to teach at Trump University.
Dozen of those he picked to work for Trump University had checkered pasts, including serious financial problems and even convictions for cocaine trafficking and indecent acts with a child. The lawsuit against Trump found that he and his fake real-estate seminars were a massive fraud, designed to "upsell" students into buying course packages costing as much as $35,000. Many of those hired to teach did not have college degrees and were not licensed to broker real estate. At least four had felony convictions.
Ron P. Broussard Jr. was hired to the Trump University staff in 2007, even though he was never licensed as a real estate agent or broker, Broussard was listed as "staff" or "coordinator" for at least five Trump seminars titled "Fast Track to Foreclosure." Records show the former Army sergeant was convicted at court-martial in 1994 for indecent acts with a minor. The victim was an 8 year old daughter of a fellow soldier. He served five years in the military prison at Leavenworth, Kansas. He's currently a registered sexoffender.
Timothy C. Gorsline taught at least eight Trump University seminars in 2008 He pleaded no contest a decade earlier to felony cocaine possession, according to an electronic database of Florida court records. Copies of Gorsline's resume at Trump University showed that when asked if he had been convicted of a felony, Gorsline marked an X indicating "Yes."
Damian D. Pell, who helped teach at least 23 Trump University seminars from 2008 to 2010, pleaded guilty in Florida to a felony charge of trafficking cocaine. Court and arrest records show that Pell's car was pulled over by Sheriff's deputies in June 1999. Authorities recovered 62 grams of powder cocaine from his car, and 1,200 grams in a subsequent search of his home — a haul with a street value in excess of $154,000.
Spencer J. Raffel, who staffed a Trump University event in 2008, had a felony conviction in FL for grand theft, according to court records. He was sentenced to serve three years of probation in 1989. Court records also showed that Raffel, 52, had a multi-decade history of failing to pay debts, including defaulting on real estate loans, during the same period he was helping teach students how to profit from properties in foreclosure.😲
NY Attorney General Eric Schneiderman sued in 2013, alleging that the university was a "fraud from beginning to end," geared toward pressuring students into buying ever more expensive seminars, course materials and mentoring services of little educational value. Regulators say Trump University staff often targeted senior citizens or those already in dire financial straits, encouraging them to max out their credit cards to pay for classes they couldn't afford.
In his 2005 video, Trump said his hand-picked instructors would give his students a better education than top-level university business schools.
"Honestly, if you don't learn from them, you don't learn from me. If you don't learn from the people we're going to be putting forward — these are all people that are hand-picked by me — then you're not going to make it in terms of the world of success," Trump said.
