Well, this week has proven that wrong-from the wild Trump University documents that revealed what a scam the whole thing was to Hillary’s brutally effective point-by-point evisceration of Trump in San Diego to Trump’s awful decision to claim loudly and often that the judge in his Trump University case was unable to be impartial because he is Mexican.
