Former students of Donald Trump’s university are suing the enterprise for bilking them out of thousands of dollars with advertisements they say were misleading, promising a path to riches using the mogul’s real estate investing techniques. Records made public Tuesday show that internal company manuals, called “playbooks,” encouraged staff to use the struggles of potential clients to close sales. The guide gave the example of a potentially solid target as “a single parent of three children that may need money for food.” It also implored staff to pepper prospective students with questions such as: “Do you like living paycheck to paycheck? … Do you enjoy seeing everyone else but yourself in their dream houses and driving their dream cars with huge checking accounts? Those people saw an opportunity, and didn’t make excuses, like what you’re doing now.” Exploiting desperation is the same kind of strategy employed by Corinthian, the defunct for-profit chain that operated Everest, WyoTech and Heald Colleges. An investigation by California Attorney General Kamala Harris uncovered a Corinthian marketing plan targeting single mothers, veterans and people with low incomes. The company went so far as to say its ideal students were “isolated, impatient people with low self-esteem and few people in their lives who care about them, and who are stuck and unable to see and plan well for their future.” Corinthian lured students with promises of jobs that it failed to deliver, charging tens of thousands of dollars for degrees that many say are worthless. Along the same lines, former Trump students claim that in some cases they paid upward of $34,000 for seminars assuring success in real estate that never materialized. Trump University is facing a $40 million lawsuit from New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman for deceptive marketing, including touting the mogul’s involvement in hand-picking instructors and claiming consumers would receive access to private sources of financing. Corinthian, meanwhile, ran afoul of federal regulators for falsely advertising job placement rates and career services that it couldn’t deliver. Allegations that the company lied about the success of its programs ultimately led to the loss of its access to federal fun Trump University was never licensed as a school nor sanctioned to receive federal financial aid like Corinthian, but both institutions made millions of dollars off of people believing that education would be their key to upward mobility. Before it shut down in 2010, Trump University pulled in an estimated $40 million from about 7,000 students, an amount that is dwarfed by the billions in taxpayer dollars that the Department of Education funneled to Corinthian in the form of federal loans and Pell grants.Newly disclosed records in an ongoing lawsuit against Trump University reveal some striking similarities between the company and another controversial for-profit: Corinthian Colleges.
I wonder if the kanary klub klan got their degrees from Trump University?

Is that how your degree looks?
Only you would be so left that you read the Washington Post. You enjoy posting memes made by Democrats... and I'll enjoy how much you suffer over the next four years. I plan on posting DAILY, to remind you who your president is... starting January 1st It's not all lost, Buckboy. Ozzie had the perfect solution for you and John McCollum. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
This is gonna be PHUN!
I'm certainly gonna enjoy the next 4.5 years... hopefully the next 8.5 years. Knock all those racists (like Willie) back in the closet... all those urban zoo animals and undocumented chalupa's that have been rioting and pissing in our neighborhoods... are soon to be endangered species. You won't see Trump attending a career criminal thugs funeral... all while not attending one soldiers or cops funeral. Say it.... PRESIDENT TRUMP!!!! I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Is Trump going to give all of Congress critters free Trump University degrees? Or is he going to charge them like he charged you, a pile of bucks?
Just remrmber Buckyboy, not everyone can be rich. We aren't EQUAL. This country needs working poor to pump out sewers at minimum wage... and middle class that manufacture and sell toilets and sewer pipes... and filthy rich people that shit in those toilets after a long day of being rich enough to employ a few thousand middle and minimum wage workers. EVERYONE is important... but nobody is EQUAL.
I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
The concept of "equality" is a fact of life for humans around the planet. that is why revolutions occur from tyme to tyme.
I love it Bucky, even sent it to a few friends. I used to read Mad Magazine.
We ain't "equal", Buckyboy. Some people and cultures bring more or less to the table. Equality is a libtard ideal... and the very cancer that's decayed our society as you see it now. The very cancer that spawned the millennium generational trash of today. Where everyone is special.... make me puke. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
That is where you get your ass sorely kicked, pal. That is why your are so phuckin' paranoid to possess 50,000+ primers in your mom's basement. BTW, those SS casings need some polish as the relative humidity rots them away with rust.
Thanks, Fred. BTW, are you going to the GOP convention in Cleveland? I read that you intend to participate?
I don't intend to attend. It's a bit of a more than 7 hour drive and I can't stand Trump. I think there will be fireworks there on July 20 or thereabouts. Pebbles might get his head bashed in.
I'm not paranoid at all Buckboy. I just understand human libtarded nature. The sheep, feeling as entitled as you do, will want what I have because they think they are equal to me and deserve what I have. Unfortunately for them, I have 50,000+ reasons why we ain't equal. lol I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Anyone attending any of the "independent" GOP/DEM conventions are looking for trouble this year. The US government has created the forecast of riots in the streets. Man, the shit is going to hit the fan.
From the official US Declaration of Independence: The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world. He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them. He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures. He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people. He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within. He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands. He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States: For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies: For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments: For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us. He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people. He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation. He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions. In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people. Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends. We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
Oh please. What's created the riots and the civil unrest is that screeching sound all the lazy fucks hear as the wheels lock up on the welfare train that's pulling the black shit matters cart, the illegal alien box car, the faggot caboose and the libtarded media engine. They, along with the libertarian liberals all all scared of big bad Trump... they are gonna try and get one last Furguson Missouri in before they get forgot about. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Negative, Buckyboy. The writers of that document were narrow sighted. Some are faggots. Some are lazy... Hell, some are high all the time and wear Ron Paul shirts. We ain't Equal, we never were. Many people are smarter, stronger and WAY MORE VALUABLE than you. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
You are one of the laziest assholes this planet has ever seen. Think about what you persoanally CHOSE to perform: live off the fat of the land as a crosswalk guard. And now you get a stipend for doing almost nothing while you criticise and demonise all others around yourself. Pal, you are correct to be afraid and have 50,000+ primers rusting away. Wanna know why? You have taken the lifeblood of others by doing nothing throughout life while creating the tiered social structure you were taught about about in the USA. You are the PROBLEM because of attitude and training. And it is evident by your admission of being paranoid.
If only you weren't weak and over sensitized to make that happen. You'd cry like Tea Party Reveler did when the cops just touched him. HELP!!!! I'M DYING, SOMEONE HELP ME... I'M BRING ASSAULTED.... HELP!!! I still laugh at that video. He was the toughest racist he knew... until a few cops grabbed him. LMMFAO. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
I take a pension check that's paid from a private mutual fund, Buckyboy.... I contributed into that fund. I deserve everything I get. And the proof that you aren't my equal, is I was smart enough to EARN that pension while you were dumb enough to complain about those who do... like every socialist libtard. You ain't spreading my wealth, Buckboy. We ain't equal. lol I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
And don't forget yourself. But, we are talking about GOVERNMENT structures. Not about about you playing with a squirt gun filled with water resting in a sidehip holster while your quickdraw against a lookingglassmirror.
Usually, it's the least valuable people that bitch the most about what others have. You fit that category, Buckboy. You bitch more than Commie Sanders about the rich guy. lol We AIN'T EQUAL... we never were. People shouldn't be treated EQUALLY... they should be treated FAIRLY. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
No you don't. You took taxpayer money for doing nothing worthwhile from the People for twenty years. You added to the overall debt of the nation while not adding value towards a productive and civilized society. You are nothing more than an architype for fascism.
2) You added to the overall debt of the nation 1) it's called a paycheck for hours worked. Kinda like what you get but my work was more important... and unlike you, there were laws prohibiting me from striking... where you could picket with a sign and a thumb up your ass because you worked a job so unimportant that it hardly mattered if you worked or not. 2) My salary was paid out of local tax dollars, nitwit. Not federal taxes. I bet you have the IQ of a chalkboard. lol I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
It's time for bed Buckyboy. I have two to arrest tomorrow. Lots of paperwork.
I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Your salary was a contribution by the federal government.
Trump U students : more Trump's Chumps?
The executive Trump selected to run his loan company, E.J. Ridings, claimed to have been a top executive at a prestigious investment bank. In reality, Ridings' highest role on Wall Street was as a registered broker, a position he held for a mere six days." Birds of a feather. Hos 12:7
