“The Nightly Show” interviewed a former student of Trump University, the nationwide campaign launched by Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump in 2005 to “teach success” but is now facing two class-action lawsuits in California and another lawsuit in New York.

“It was just like going to every other college. Except there were no classes, no parties, no buildings, no professors, no campus,” said ex-Trump U student Miles Fleischhacker on Thursday night, portrayed by “Nightly Show” executive producer Rory Albanese.

But “Nightly Show” host Larry Wilmore wanted to know how this was like any other college

“I’m like $50,000 in debt,” Fleischhacker said, “so you know, college!”

“I went to school, I learned nothing, I wound up broke, I had to declare bankruptcy,” Fleischhacker said. “That’s a proper education to becoming an American! That’s what it is!”
