That one, I consider likely just a false statement, mostly because HRC is as ignorant as a bag of hammers on just about everything related to firearms. Largely through my discussions here on this board, I’ve adopted a narrower definition of “lie” than any false statement, but you asked if there were “several more”, and I’m sure any interested, reasonable person could find at least several more “lies” at the links I provided.

I don’t even have a clue what your (snarky?) one-liner means unless it’s “That Trump fraud doesn’t count since that fraud was exposed in a lawsuit, ha ha.” You’re good at Googling; do you need help finding links to research Trump University?

It wasn’t meant as snarky. It’s just not a topic that has interested me enough to read about it in detail, and so I don’t feel qualified to make a “meaningful comment” about it. In your view, is Trump University one of the top 10 most important things that has happened during his Presidency / the campaign?
