Trump University did not have a training center, either. It rented out meeting rooms in hotels in different cities across the country and hired people to teach others how to succeed in the real estate business. The problem is the "teachers" spent most of the time trying to sign "the students" up for other services, so they could defraud them for even more thousands of dollars.
Sometimes "the teachers" never showed up. One of the plaintiffs received three notebooks and no instruction at all, even though she had paid into the 5 figures.
That is why this is fraud and that is why the media and the dems are going to absolutely expose Trump on this issue in the most brutal manner. They will have to do it since none of the candidates bothered to make this an issue.
This case has been percolating for years and has been in the news from time to time. I am completely flabbergasted that Trump did not handle this before the campaign started. So Trump is going to have to take the stand, under oath, and try to explain away fraud. While outside the courtroom, hundred plus cameras and microphones are recording a tearful interview with a poor lady on how Trump defrauded her and the effect it has had on her life. Then they will move to the next person and record their fraudulent experience at Trump University. Then the next day, the networks will examine every word that Donald spoke on the witness stand and show every voter as to how Trump perjured himself, even if he did not.
Then when they are through with that, the media will bring forth the legions of vendors who are paid just 80% of their invoice. The media will expose Trump's m.o. in which he tells those vendors to be satisfied with me paying 80% of your bill and if you are not happy, then sue me. I read back in December, that candidates for the republican nomination had ads ready to go with the victims saying they were stiffed by Trump. I never saw them. So, we will have to wait for Trump to be the nominee before the dems purchase ad time to expose another form of fraud, which will lead the voter to ask, what else don't I know?
The dems are going to spend hundreds of millions of dollars destroying Trump. Some charges will be true and some will not be true. Recall that man who sat in a chair and said Romney killed his wife. She had cancer and Romney's insurance policies were useless for them and Romney did nothing. The charge was a lie, but the ad ran until the afternoon of election day and helped to show Romney as being cold.
Every word Trump has uttered is a public record and will be used by the dems. Four parts fraud, 3 parts lie and 3 parts jerk and one has to be inhuman before voting for Trump.
In addition, Trump will have to spend $1 billion for the general election and I can guarantee you, he will not do so. Then it will be just too late to do anything about it.
Most already thrown out. Civil case. Tons of witnesses on his side. Could have settled but decided not to. BS squared. Run the ads like it has mattered to date.
Karl Rove said that the rats have ads recorded of bankruptcy “victims”.
You know, on our financial statement we always had an allowance for bad debts. It’s a cost of doing business. If Trump paid 80% then the vendors were lucky because I had plenty of people who paid me nothing.
Trump University is a different situation. Did he just lend his name to it or was he the owner? If someone didn’t even bother to show up to provide instructions then the customers should have gotten their money back and yes, he should have settled up.
