Kevin: I spent about
$30,000 at Trump University and basically all it did was ruin my credit
and ruin my life.
Trump University, they
promised everything from start to finish, their expertise, their
knowledge, their input, the financing.
They didn't really deliver
on anything.
You've got to remember
there's 5,000 victims of this.
In the end, there's no
there there.
Trump is just a fraud, a
misrepresentation, a B.S. artist.
America, don't make the
same mistake I made with Donald Trump.

Sherri: My name is
Sherri and I'm a single mom.
Based on the fact that it
was Donald Trump signed up...
I made a huge mistake
trusting him, paying $35,000, actually more than $35,000.
It was all supposedly
supervised by Donald Trump, run by Donald Trump.
All of it was just a fake.
America, do not make the
same mistake that I did with Donald Trump. I got hurt badly, and
I'd hate to see this country get hurt by Donald Trump.

Bob: I was duped by
the Donald. I paid $35,000 to Trump University.
I never heard from anybody
about giving me a list of hard money lenders and they never contacted
me to give me the opportunity to purchase any real estate owned by
Donald Trump.
I was scammed because I
believed in Donald Trump. He made people believe practically
anything.

Notes: The Feb. 26, 2016 press release...
Donald Trump's
"Trump University"
ripoff in the voices of three of his victims.
WASHINGTON,
Feb. 26, 2016
/PRNewswire/ -- The American Future Fund, the national advocacy group
supporting conservative and free market ideals, today announced a
nationwide ad buy exposing Donald
Trump's "Trump University" ripoff in the voices of three
of his victims.
In the first ad, Bob, a retiree who
paid $35,000
to Trump University, says, "I was duped by the Donald," and lists
broken promises made to him by Trump University, including a list of
hard-money lenders and the opportunity to purchase real estate owned by
Trump. One thing Bob did get— a picture of himself with a cardboard
cut-out of Donald Trump
that can be seen in the ad.
Other ads feature:
Sherri, a single mother who says
she
"made a huge mistake
trusting
(Trump)" and "got hurt badly" and asks America "not to make the same
mistake," and
Kevin, who says that in exchange
for $30,000,
Trump University "promised everything" but only "ruined my credit and
ruined my life" and calls Trump "a fraud."
Trump
University, actually a series of seminars, has been the subject
of lawsuits involving thousands of victims charging
misrepresentation,
including a suit by New
York
state attorney general Eric
Schneiderman.
A judge has ruled that the organization improperly used the term
"university" and ordered it to change its name. Trump himself will be
deposed in this lawsuit this spring— at the very height of this
election season.
Said AFF spokesman Stuart
Roy,
"The Trump University was a total ripoff – as is described by his
victims in their own voices – and demonstrates that America can't
trust Donald Trump.
These
hard-working
people
learned
who 'The
Donald'
really
is
at
the
cost
of tens of thousands of dollars and ruined lives, and they are
speaking up now in the hope that America can learn from their
mistakes
and avoid suffering the same fate."
Roy added, "This is the first step in
a
multi-million dollar effort to ensure Donald
Trump is not our next President."

Donald J. Trump Demands Retraction of
Misleading Ads Produced by Marco Rubio’s Super PAC
Trump University Civil Case
Plaintiffs
Featured in Ads Misrepresenting the Facts
(New York, NY) February 29th, 2016 – Today, Donald J. Trump
released
the surveys completed by two of the three (the third survey is being
obtained and is of similar nature) individuals featured in recent ads
released by American Future Fund regarding Trump University. The
previously unreleased documents show overwhelming support for the
school from the individuals featured in the ads.
Donald J. Trump is requesting the immediate retraction of the ads
created by American Future Fund, which clearly was unlawfully
coordinated with lightweight Senator Marco Rubio on these misleading
commercials. The ads feature three individuals who are part of a
lawsuit against Trump University, an educational program that has a 98%
approval rating from all attendees. These individuals provided written
praise of their experience in school surveys (View Kevin Scott & Bob Guillo).
Mr. Trump stated, “Trump University has a 98% approval rating and an
“A” rating from the Better Business Bureau. New York Attorney General,
Eric Schneiderman continues to waste taxpayer money trying to smear me,
but the fact is that the overwhelming majority of students had a great
experience. It’s a minor civil case I have not settled out of
principle. Lightweight Marco Rubio is grasping at straws and produced
terrible ads featuring three people who all provided written statements
praising the program. I demand an immediate retraction of this false
and libelous ads. It just shows how low a failing campaign will go to
help their failing candidate.”
New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman is a typical politician
and just a few weeks before going after Mr. Trump, he was seeking
financial support from Mr. Trump’s daughter and others close to the GOP
frontrunner. When he did not receive contributions he went after Mr.
Trump with this frivolous lawsuit based on less than 2% of Trump
University attendees. The law firm suing Mr. Trump made a major
contribution to Eric Schneiderman before Schneiderman entered the
lawsuit. Mr. Trump has won most of the case, which Schneiderman is now
appealing.
