Trump fails to mention his defunct university in HE rant

Independent 27 August 2022

Former United States president Donald Trump failed to mention his defunct Trump University in a rant about colleges and President Joe Biden’s student loan forgiveness scheme, writes Gustaf Kilander for the Independent.

“Joe Biden and the Radical Left Democrats have just orchestrated another election-enhancing money grab, this time to the tune of US$300,000,000,000 – and just like I predicted, it’s coming right out of the pocket of the working-class Americans who are struggling the most!” Trump thundered on his struggling social media platform Truth Social.

“Trump University” started to trend on Twitter after Donald Trump Jr blasted the loan forgiveness programme.
