I don’t see where he said he was personally picking the instructors.
If the students were motivated, they’d get rich. Too many think sitting on the couch eating Cheetos while watching the videos will magically make money fall into their laps.
Here is what Trump himself said in promotional videos for the "University":
"You're going to have professors, and adjunct professors that are absolutely terrific. Terrific people, terrific brains, successful. You're going to have the best of the best. And, honestly, if you don't learn from them, if you don't learn from me, if you don't learn from the people we're going to be putting forward--and these were all people that are hand-picked by me--then, you're just not going to make it, in terms of the world of success."
Check the court documents in the link I provided up thread. He states on Video that he “personally picks the instructors” however his deposition that was leaked in December IF correct has him admitting he did no such thing.
He will be completely trashed when his deposition and testimony becomes public in July. He will try behind the scenes between now and then to make this all go away.
Most likely he will buy everyone off and claim he is doing it to get rid of the distraction during the election. Even though he talked tough last night.
You have to ask your self if he was so confident in his case why he attempted to counter sue before it went to trial?
This reeks right up there with his Hiring those Illegal Polish workers to save from having to pay into the American Construction workers pension fund.
He’s a slimeball.
Here's the video. Watch about 1:22 in. He clearly says hand-picked by me. It is clearly a fraud.
Trump’s Defense of His ‘University’
Instructors Not Handpicked by Trump
In a video promoting the old Trump University, which was formed as a for-profit company in 2004, Trump said that the educational program would have “professors and adjunct professors” that were “handpicked” by him. Trump: We’re going to have professors and adjunct professors that are absolutely terrific. Terrific people. Terrific brains. Successful. We’re going to have the best of the best. And, honestly, if you don’t learn from them, if you don’t learn from me, if you don’t learn from the people that we are going to be putting forward — and these are all people that are handpicked by me — then you’re just not going to make it in terms of the world of success.
But Trump didn’t personally select “all people” on staff, as he claimed in the promotional video, or even “many” of them, as he said during the recent interview on “Fox News Sunday.” Michael Sexton, the former president of Trump University, who was deposed in 2012 for a civil case against Trump and the real estate program, admitted that the course instructors were not personally approved by Trump.
Questioner, July 25, 2012: And were any of these other speakers at any of those events hand picked by Donald Trump? Sexton: None of our instructors at the live events were hand picked by Donald Trump.
