Trump University was a scam, say former students

Do you remember Trump University? Probably not – it didn’t really catch on. And one big reason it didn’t catch on is because it was a total scam, say a slew of former students in complaints that were filed to the Federal Trade Commission and were recently unearthed by a Freedom of Information Act request from Gizmodo, writes Ethan Wolff-Mann for TIME.

It is not only former students who have called into question the legitimacy of Trump University, which was founded in 2005. The New York Department of Education sent Trump a letter in 2010, accusing the operation of misleading students and misuse of the word ‘university’. Soon thereafter, the operation was renamed the Trump Entrepreneur Initiative.

In 2013, the New York Attorney General’s office filed a US$40 million lawsuit against the former reality star and current Republican presidential candidate for failing to impart the promised real estate education to 5,000 students and subjecting prospective students to high-pressure sales tactics.

They have never said Trump is finished. They constantly exaggerate his popularity.

The exaggerate his staged battles with hosts, like Megyn the Marxist. Its all circus for the low info voter.

Has nothing to do with celebrity, but he had little to do with that either.

Its his undue face time. It is what keeps his nonsense afloat, and he has nothing to say about that either.

They are giving Trump massive visibility because they want him to succeed at destroying the chances of a conservative victory in 2016.

He’s going Turd Party; that has been the plan from the start. He’ll siphon off about the same percentage as his paragon, Perot did, his polling matches Perot’s polling for this point in the campaign.

Sorry, your list doesn’t match up with Trump’s bombast.

Doesn’t matter though, its all pulp, as the Congressional Democrat foot draggers showed W.

US military policy is governed by the person that is the subject of Revelation 18:7

Nobody has gotten even 1/4 of the way down the barrel on Trump, much less the bottom.

Graduating from a university (by any name) doesn’t ensure you’ll get a job...

I hear Hamburger U. has high job placement numbers with McDonald's.
