In 2008, James Harris was hired to be an instructor with Trump University, the online school launched by reality TV star and real estate mogul Donald Trump three years earlier. Harris was a motivational speaker from Pompton Plains, New Jersey, with slicked-back hair and a shit-eating grin. There was an easy, energetic way about him—like Billy Mays having just returned from a Hamptons vacation—and his lectures, which relied on his alleged real life success story, could be captivating.
According to seminar transcripts filed in one class-action lawsuit against Trump University and reviewed by The Daily Beast, Harris told students that at 19, he found himself homeless and was forced to seek shelter in the grimy New York City subway. But his life changed, he said, when he met a “nice gentleman” who taught him about the real estate business. In no time, he said, he “became one of the top 12 producing brokers” in Manhattan. He no longer slept among vermin, but in a gated community in Buford, Georgia, with his wife and two sons.

Curly and Shep approve this message too.
Like they have a choice.
For one thing, students paid tuition to attend a university which Trump University, by law, was not.
That is why after being challenged, Trump dropped the university reference. But much of the damage to the students and their pocketbooks had been done. Trump did make some students whole; but not all. Hence the court case.
Full fledged delusional. You’re declaring how the future will play out strictly by your beliefs and prejudices. Not a chance will your scenario play out as you state.
You act as if Clinton and Cruz are simply going to play out an ideological battle over high ideals that will basically remove themselves from the equation. That’s simply an unbelievably absurd assertion, and I don’t know who you think you’re trying to “talk down to” with such drivel.
Cruz is a child who will wilt before the Wicked Witch of the West. He has no enthusiasm in the population at large outside of firm conservatives. Many will vote for him as they despise Clinton, but there is no cross over factor available to Cruz, which in the end means he will lose, and handily.
You may wish to deny it, but that doesn’t make it any less of a valid analysis than the hundreds of others I see here on FR that claim one thing or another.
Everyone has their belief of how it will play out, but what you posted is not credible from a realistic standpoint.
Yet another nothing burger. Being a politician is very, very easy compared to starting up and running a successful business with your own money on the line. Few businesses could stand this kind of scrutiny from “journalists” with obviously no experience in business.
I have hired many people over the years. Most were talented and successful. A small handful proved themselves to be whiners and losers, and probably hate my guts to this day because I didn’t continue to throw good money after bad keeping them on.
Buried in the article is the story of a woman suing an education program she invested in too heavily without having any aptitude for the topic offered or for risk assessment. It’s probably the same woman who is trying to weasel out of the lawsuit this week because she knows her story won’t stand up to the glare of publicity.
