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.
He openly admits that he is no politician and this proves it. A true politician is well schooled in lawyer speak and would have worded it more carefully.
