AllSides Media Bias Rating: Lean Left
When Donald Trump introduced his new university from the lobby of his famous tower, he declared that it would be unlike any of his other ventures.
Trump University would be a noble endeavor, he said, with an emphasis on education over profits. It was a way for him to give back, to share his expertise with the masses, to build a “legacy as an educator.”
He wouldn’t even keep all the money — if he happened to make a profit, he would turn the funds over to charity.
