Donald Trump vows to reopen Trump University
The United States isn't all Donald Trump wants to be president of. In a tweet Thursday, the presumptive Republican nominee said that he also has his eye on leading Trump University when he reopens the real estate program once the charges of fraud blow over:
After the litigation is disposed of and the case won, I have instructed my execs to open Trump U(?), so much interest in it! I will be pres.

Trump's national spokeswomen Katrina Pierson tried to clarify on CNN Thursday that when Trump said he would be "pres.," he meant that his children would be in charge of it. "People are interested in it," Pierson said. "A lot of people do want to hear what Trump feels about real estate because he's been so successful and when this is over, Mr. Trump is considering reopening the university."
All that's standing in the way are three lawsuits alleging the program deceived its students and left them mired in debt.
