Clinton Takes Cue From Trump and Goes on Twitter Rant — Against Him

Usually, when you hear “Twitter rant,” you think “Donald Trump.” Usually, he is doing the ranting, but sometimes, he is on the receiving end. That’s what happened today when Hillary Clinton grabbed the Trump-burning torch from Elizabeth Warren and ran with it all the way down our Twitter timelines.

In the last 24 hours, we’ve gotten a look at newly-unsealed documents in the ongoing legal battles over the allegedly fraudulent Trump University. What those documents have revealed is not good at all. The courses were described as a “preyed upon the elderly and uneducated to separate them from their money” by a former sales rep in an affidavit.

That’s what Clinton chose to focus on. Read below:

New documents confirm Trump “University” was a scam that preyed on families to make money. Caution—may cause nausea. https://t.co/d2qYRLKsou

The gist: Trump’s for-profit university deceived & exploited students to take their money.

And he has the gall to call the media “sleazy.”

Some of Trump University’s tactics: push people to take on debt, cash out retirement, max out credit cards—whatever it took to buy classes.

Another Trump University practice, according to its own employees: target struggling families to fleece them. pic.twitter.com/VUH18SpBlD

Trump University employed instructors with no experience and lied to sell outrageously expensive packages. In a word: fraud.

It’s one thing to sell steaks using a name as a marketing ploy. Trump’s company intentionally put people at risk. pic.twitter.com/5F4siYeO8p

The Trump University con says a lot about Trump. If you can’t trust him with your personal finances—how can we trust him with our country?

This could prove to be a good tactic for Clinton if she continues to fight back at Trump using his own methods, but the best case scenario her team can hope for is that Trump University documents are revealed faster than documents relating to her emails.
