The Trump university (take 5)
I went to the free seminar where they sold the three day seminar for $1995. They said Donald Trump is not out to take your money. They said he has so much money that the $1995 doesn't mean anything to him.
At the three day seminar they were selling more courses and 3 days of mentoring for $38000.
They said the $1995 seminar was not enough and that you would probably lose a lot of money if you didn't buy the $38000 dollar program.
Donald Trump does not seem to be trying to do anybody any favor. TrumpU is just another business to him and he probably only cares about the cash flow.
The agreement for the $38000 program has a statement where you sign the agreement that from what I read there is no guarantee that you will make any money and that TrumpU has no real obligation to you.

I signed up for the program (what a stupid a** I was) because I thought the Donald really meant “giving back to the community” by setting up the seminar; what a liar he is.
Then when I read more about them on the internet (again, after paying, which further proves the stupid above) I tried to cancel next day.
Everything seemed fine; the customer service lady who answered the phone was quick and helpful setting up the return free UPS mailing label for me. She even gave me a Return Authorization # and said that UPS would show up maximum in 72 hours to pick up the package.
This was 2 weeks ago. Since then no UPS guy showed up to pick-up the materials. Until the Donald does not receive the materials, they do not refund your money –according to their disclaimer.
So I tried and tried and tried calling them to see what is going on, but now the only response I get is that "our offices are closed" and call back later. Does not matter what day or hour you call, this is the only response you get.
So The Donald is just an other internet scammer, and his place in a jail would be well deserved. If there is any justice on earth (which we all know that there is ).
He probably does not have enough money if he needs mine, so I assume he is going to bed hungry. If he told me that, I could have contributed toward a loaf of bread so he can eat something. But he prefers stealing other people's money. That is actually one of his mottos: "OPM” (other people's money). What he does not mention is that the motto is actually: S-OPM (steal other people's money) if you want to become a billionaire.
Even if I can change the mind of one single person not to give these crooks money, this posting is worth my time.
I contacted my credit card company to reverse the payment, so I am still hopeful I can get my money back.

The Trump university (take 3)
Richard, Philadelphia
"I went to the free seminar because Trump's name was on it. I researched some of the people listed on the web site. Clearly they have great credentials and I would have paid to learn from them. But the guy who was leading the seminar came across as a carnival hustler. To his credit he presented two methods of buying real estate in this market. But as the seminar progressed he said a few things about banking that were incorrect. He glossed over a few facts and there was no time for questions. My sense is that he was trying to seperate the intelligent and strong minded from the weak minded and those less knowledgable about real estate. I'm sure that those of us who left were labeled 'losers' to those that stayed. The techniques that he talked about are good in any real estate market. You really don't need to pay someone for the information that he was selling. As I read the comments on this page I am not surprised that the weekend retreat included another sales pitch for a much larger amount of money. The seminar leader, let's call him Jim, stated that he was hand picked by Donald Trump and is Donald's #1 trainer in the country..."

I've been to three of the seminars and they act as though it must be taught in 3 days. A weekend is not needed at all; the material can be taught in a day, seriously people! I think they drag it on the entire weekend so you are forced to get a hotel room so theirs is free and they have time to pitch you the next salespitch, mentoring, which my husband did purchase. It was the worst mentoring I've ever had. I knew more than the mentor from previous courses. I mentioned the repetition and she simply stated it is a learning strategy...so if you want to pay thousands for repetition be my guest. I actually stopped in the middle of mentoring because she was wasting our time. I'm still trying to get our money back. Stay far away from that program! There are affordable legit real estate education courses out there, do your research and join a local Real estate investor club!

Trump University is a major disappointment. They charged me $35,000 for the program, which I would never have paid if I had known that the info given to me was not true. I based my decision on that info! They would not return even a portion of my money after several long and tearful conversations, even after agreeing the info was outdated and they would have to do something about it. I would strongly suggest never using them. There are other gurus out there that are honest and don't cost as much !!! I can't believe Donald Trump would allow such mis-behaving to be associated with his name. Run fast and keep running where they are involved!

Now this is interesting, should I expect his hairness to open a counter blog and post counter posts?
They also try to upsell to another program that cost $38000.
I went to the three day seminar and I didn't learn anything that I hadn't seen before. You could go to Barnes and noble and buy books on foreclosure investing and lease options and asset protection and spend no more than about a hundred fifty dollars and have the same information.
The person doing the seminar said you could be a millionaire simply by buying 10 houses for 100K each rent them for ten years, they would double in value giving you a million in equity.
Where I live it takes 20 or thirty years for a house to double in value.
They also try to upsell to another program that cost $38000. The contract has a statement that implies that there is no guarantee that you will make money after spending $38000 or that Trump U is in anyway obligated to make sure you make anything. I asked about this and they said yes, Trump makes no guarantee and you will not be refunded anything if you don't make anything. For $4000 there is a local real estate club that will find a house with 25000 equity fix it up and rent it out for you.
Trump should guarantee that they will find at least 2 houses over a two year period get them fixed up and rented out and sell them making enough profit to at least break even.
You go to these seminars and they talk as if you can flip a house in a week or two and put $25000 profit in your bank account. If its as easy as they say giving you some kind of guarantee shouldn't be a problem.

"Donald Trump is a real-estate mogul who has developed his own name-brand fragrance, vodka, and board game (players roll dice to see how many women they can marry). Trump has a few skeletons in his closet, namely his comb-over and true net-worth."

and he is so much more talented! I mean Joey just wrote about the Trump blog, but the comments, oh the comments...
for example:
"Donald Trump has let us know that there are no consequences to illegal behavior. He has further implied that he is above the law, in fact "IS" the law in all things. To worry about his feelings on Rosie is really small when compared to what he could influence in state and federal legislation. "
you should visit and read yourself...
