(Before we even get to the many problems with his policies)
For the sake of argument, I am conceding every point in the case against Hillary Clinton, but there is a good chance that her rival, Donald Trump, will become our next president. Before that happens, I think it's important that people know the things that the man has said and done. I include only those accusations with strong or undeniable evidence, followed by supporting links.
Trump's wrongdoings
The Trump University scam: everything from deliberately misleading people to telling outright lies in order to take their money for useless education. Among the many deceptions, he falsely told people that he had hand-picked the instructors.

And, yes, Trump knew that the workers were here illegally: http://time.com/4465744/donald-trump-undocumented-workers/

Refusing to pay his bills to small businesses and workers: http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2016/06/09/donald-trump-unpaid-bills-republican-president-laswuits/85297274/
(Trump's excuse is that the people did a poor job, but in some cases he hired the same people again. This clearly indicates that he was stiffing them.)
