RE: What kind of idiots really believe that a 3 days course in real estate investing is a university? That’s just made up stuff.

The details of the lawsuit should give us a hint as to what was really being promised for the tuition they were paying.

According to the complaint filed in San Diego federal court, they were encouraged to sign up for more expensive levels of instruction, which were to include personal mentoring by experts “handpicked” by Trump. But instead, they say, the seminars were more like infomercials.

So, this is not a mere 3-day seminar but a promised ON-GOING coaching.

The lawsuit alleges that the for-profit university’s promises that advanced students could make tens of thousands of dollars each month were bogus, and that the school instead left many in debt.

Trump has argued that he can’t be held personally liable because he didn’t run daily operations at the university, although he says he did handpick the instructors. He also disagreed with allegations that the program was worthless.

He also says he can’t be held liable for the INEPTITUDE of the students.

In the New York Lawsuit, the people who sued were told that they would meet Trump during seminars but instead got a picture on a life-size cardboard cutout.

While consumers were encouraged to call their credit card companies during breaks to increase their credit limits to have access to funds to do real estate deals, the real reason Trump University asked consumers to request higher credit limits was so they could use the credit to pay for the expensive Elite programs, which the lawsuit claims did no guidance or mentoring at all.

Well, that’s the complaint in a nutshell.

Draw your own conclusions -— false promises or inept/stupid students.

Four (4) "students" is neither. It's a political attack.
