LebaneseDude 6,146 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 From New York Times In blunt testimony revealed on Tuesday, former managers of Trump University, the for-profit school started by Donald J. Trump, portray it as an unscrupulous business that relied on high-pressure sales tactics, employed unqualified instructors, made deceptive claims and exploited vulnerable students willing to pay tens of thousands for Mr. Trump’s insights. One sales manager for Trump University, Ronald Schnackenberg, recounted how he was reprimanded for not pushing a financially struggling couple hard enough to sign up for a $35,000 real estate class, despite his conclusion that it would endanger their economic future. He watched with disgust, he said, as a fellow Trump University salesman persuaded the couple to purchase the class anyway. “I believe that Trump University was a fraudulent scheme,” Mr. Schnackenberg wrote in his testimony, “and that it preyed upon the elderly and uneducated to separate them from their money.” The most striking documents were written testimony from former employees of Trump University who said they had become disenchanted with the university’s tactics and culture. Corrine Sommer, an event manager, recounted how colleagues encouraged students to open up as many credit cards as possible to pay for classes that many of them could not afford.

2020Covid19IsOurs 6,901 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Wasn't it always apparent to people that Mr. Trump is a dimwit hack? People who fell for it were better off paying for some distance learning program from some reputed university. Gaga x JeffHardy x BillMaher Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FATCAT 60,888 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I don't like scams, but I follow the same discretion when it comes to malware: Dance with the devil, get burned. If you browse and/or download things that aren't trustworthy and official, you'll get malware and/or viruses. It's wrong for them to scam them in the first place, playing on people's dreams and desires, but Trump isn't going to make a non-profit university to increase competition.
