For a normal candidate even one such revelation as this would be disqualifying.
He's been the subject of 3500 lawsuits. He's been audited by the IRS every year since the 80s at least.
He deleted one million emails related to court cases of his.

He has regularly stiffed people who owes money to. Many of these folks were just ordinary Americans and small businesses. When Trump stiffed them he's put family business out of business.
With Trump U, 40,000 Americans have sued him for scamming them. How many scams within the Trump U scam were they?
Start with the fact that he called it a University and it wasn't. Or that he said he'd teach them personally and he was nowhere to be found. Or that the teachers weren't actually teachers.
Just the tip of the iceberg.
Now he is fighting racketeering charges within the Trump U case.
"Lawyers for Donald Trump are fighting claims that his Trump University real estate seminar program amounted to a racketeering operation under federal law."
"In a court filing Friday night, Trump's attorneys reject allegations in a federal class-action lawsuit that Trump University violated the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act and that Trump was directly involved in those violations."
"Invoking the federal RICO statute creates the possibility that former Trump University students, many of whom paid about $1,500 for a three-day seminar and some of whom paid nearly $35,000 for a mentorship program, could receive triple damages and the class-action lawyers pursuing the case could recover their attorneys' fees."
"While the law passed in 1970 was initially focused on businesses run by the Mafia, it has since been used to go after a wide variety of enterprises, including ordinary corporations allegedly engaged in fraud, as well as activists like anti-abortion campaigners accused of illegally obstructing clinics."

The beauty of it is, Trump has used many Mafia connections for his construction contracts.
So getting him on a law initially used for mob guys is sort of appropriate.
"Curiel is scheduled to hear arguments on the summary judgment motion in San Diego on July 22, one day after the end of the Republican National Convention in Cleveland where Trump is expected to receive the Republican presidential nomination."
"The judge has set a trial for Nov. 28 in the parallel class-action suit pressing claims that Trump University violated state anti-fraud laws in California, Florida and New York."
"In the meantime, Curiel is fielding requests from media organizations to clear the way for the public release of videos of Trump's depositions in the pair of lawsuits. Trump's lawyers are fighting to keep the videos under wraps. A hearing on that issue is set for June 30, but lawyers on all sides have asked that it be held next week."

As I've noted more than once, while Trump accused Judge Curiel of not being fair to him, you can argue the judge has been too fair to him, to the point of being unfair to the plaintiffs.
After all, if Trump is the President Elect on November 28-by then I may be packing to go back to England-what are the chances the litigants get a fair trial?
Trump is already talking about abusing power he doesn't have yet. Will he be more restrained once he has it?
