Cry havoc: Kanye creates more fuzz than actual news!

This are one of these days where I see more articles about the meeting between President-Elect Donald J. Trump at the Trump Tower with the rapper Kanye West. What should be news that more and more people connected with either Big-Oil like the Standard Oil babies ExxonMobile, grand wizards of the economy, hedge fund infused billionaires and others are packing their offices to find ways of ravaging the faucets and gooses, while the workers are tripping and wonder what they voted in.

The American People been duped by a sales-man with such vigour and bravado that he claimed Hillary Clinton’s connection to the big business and Wall Street; while him two seconds and near the swearing-in are handpicking more Goldman Sachs officials than fish in a barrel.

With this in mind the visit of Kanye West at the Trump Tower is just a suggestion, from the man in 2011 on ‘Watch the Throne’ LP on the song ‘New Day’ wrote:

“And I’ll never let my son have an ego

He’ll be nice to everyone, wherever we go

I mean I might even make him be Republican

So everybody know he love white people”

Therefore, the truth of the matter is that this is not really a thing. If so, this is made-up to undermine the key aspects in the wind. The Goldman, the swamp swirling around the nest and dropping loads of golden eggs for the big business to use.

That the cabinet either filled with the ones that was to be cleared out of Washington D.C. or the populist agenda with men like Jeff Sessions and Stephen Bannon whose despicable worldview can destroy any kind of men has belief in decency left in the American Experience. Therefore, the scenery of this Alt-Right, White Supremacist in power should not overshadow the greedy-guts that are nominees for seriously grand opportunities.

Where bankers, where big industrialist and self-loathing interests combined with the infused tolerance for business over policy can conquer the republic’s works. As the lax-tax and corporate loopholes will be covered into a level where it isn’t a few bigger whole like a Swiss-Cheese, instead more like common water leaks like from pipes connected to the faucets.

The faucet is the sales-man on the top, the President-Elect Trump that gives all the donors of the Republican Party a feast, also the men and woman who can offer something in return; so the nomination is a future-buy in for a coming return on investment. The portfolio is more of government funds and taxes together with the estimated earnings on foreign affairs as the kickbacks through the political funded monies can return to the bankers and the industries that offered their nominees.

So we shouldn’t worry about Kanye is hanging out with the President-Elect, when the view of the man and woman handpicked to secure the coffers, misuse the immigrants as scarecrows for their economic policies to enrich themselves and their top 1 %, while leaving leaves and empty promises behind.

Therefore, American people be proud of you and yours have created! This is what you will become and what that is ahead, the President-Elect is surely going to have a blast and you as the citizen of the grand Republic going to left behind with the bill. Pay it either directly or to the rich-men is coffers or as a benefit for what you already had.

Certainly these noblemen who is handpicked by the Trump isn’t going to let you off the hook easily, they are in to cash-in or they are nominated to departments they back-in the day didn’t believe in like Ben Carson or Rick Perry. However, when they get a government position it’s all smiles and glory, even if they got no clue about the organization or its mission. Because that is not needed, because the President-Elect does not know what he is entitled to do either.

We can grin and wonder why Trump meet with Kanye, other than a publicity stunt of some kind, as the Republican blasted Obama for meeting Common at the White House, but no one is screaming vicious when Trump met with Kanye, since that is just so COOL!

Well, the reality is that the Republican party can stick it, for the pain and suffering they will give their own in the will of little government, little tax and massive army, the taxation policies as well as the prospects of Alt-Right policies to make enemies out of neighbours who are citizens as much the next one. Certainly, the Trump administration got work ahead, not only with themselves, but also with the Republic it will run. Peace.

On Trump: How did we get here?

I got to ask! How did we get here? What happen for the worldwide of events to lead to the man of that stature to be elected as the President of the United States, the Commander in Chief, the leader of the so-called free-world! That the man most enlightened and most visionary happen to be the Donald, Donald J. Trump of New York and Manhattan.

We got to ask, now that it’s a month since he won the Electoral College and days apart from when they are throwing their inherent ballot to suffocate the world for 4 years. The Electoral College that has been basis for speculations for months for all broadcaster’s from inner Montana to Hot 97 in New York. Seriously, the Democracy of world is based on few noble men and woman from the states electing a president on confidence of the rules in each state. Because the people cannot be trusted to already elect a person on the ballot. Not that the United States population is caring enough about civic education to consider a fellow caring human being, still they should reconsider their political system when a fellow like Trump can eat cake and vomit daily from the White House. Just as written here: “The Constitution does not specifically require electors to cast their votes according to the popular vote in their states, but the laws of 29 states and the District of Columbia bind electors to do so. Some require pledges or threaten fines or criminal action, according to a summary of state laws by the National Assn. of Secretaries of State. No elector has ever been prosecuted for not voting as pledged. Since 1900, there have been only nine faithless electors who defected for individual reasons, including one who abstained from voting altogether” (Los Angeles Times – ‘All the times in U.S. history that members of the electoral college voted their own way’ (08.12.2016) link: http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-faithless-electors-2016-story.html).

But, still with that in mind, how did we get there? It can be so many reasons, the lacking knowledge of how government works or the need for understanding of intricate policy building to succeed in Washington D.C. or that some daft small-town ignorant citizens would drop a metaphorical bomb on the lobbyists and elite in the capital. That is what they thought they did with electing a “billionaire” Trump who after becoming President-Elect started plotting together the riches, the most connected to big-business cabinet that has been in the White House. As well as taking in men who despise the ideas of certain departments and chambers they will run; so that the American government can become smaller and take in less tax of the wealthy that they all in power represent. They are walking away from the all the needed men and woman in the grass-root that ushered in the Trump Administration. So now they can do what they want without question, because the votes secured this chair’s and possibilities that is now in for the taking.

We got there with fear, with a dishonest media, a dishonest internet, little spread of information and quick browsing through the contested campaigns as we still doesn’t know what “Making America Great Again!” means or to what extent making it better. If that is making KKK and Alt-Right accepted as a means of less-subtle racism in politics and the American communities, that has surely happen. That the Trump Campaign has surged on the fear of immigration and job-loss is clear factors, while they haven’t had a coherent plan to fix it. This has been seen as a factor while the Obama Administration took the nation from 7.9% unemployed into 4.9 % in 8 years that has happen while the Republican Party and Trump has claimed the destruction of nation as they know it. Which cannot be seen in statistics, tax-base or in sort of inflation level since the start of Recession of 2008; but that doesn’t matter because the myth of problems is what Trump needs! Just said like this: “The term Alt-Right, reputedly coined in 2008 by Richard Spencer of the National Policy Institute, a bogus think-tank, encompasses views from libertarianism to paleoconservatism and onwards to the edges of pseudo-intellectual claptrap and the English language. Many Alt-Righters demonise Jews, but a few do not. Some, such as Brad Griffin of Occidental Dissent, another website, think “democracy can become a tool of oppression”, and that monarchy or dictatorship might be better; others, such as Mr Taylor, disagree. Some are techno-futurists; others espouse a kind of agrarian nostalgia. Many mourn the Confederacy. Mr Griffin thinks that, even today, North and South should separate” (…) “Yet from the quack ideologues to the out-and-proud neo-Nazis, some Alt-Right tenets are clear and constant. It repudiates feminism with misogynistic gusto. It embraces isolationism and protectionism. Above all, it champions white nationalism, or a neo-segregationist “race realism”, giving apocalyptic warning of an impending “white genocide”. Which, of course, is really just old-fashioned white supremacism in skimpy camouflage” (…) “The association precedes Mr Trump’s hiring as his campaign manager of Stephen Bannon, former boss of Breitbart News, a reactionary news website that Mr Bannon reportedly described as “the platform for the Alt-Right”, and which has covered the movement favourably” (Economist – ‘Trump and the Alt-Right Pepe and the stormtroopers’ 17.09.2016 link: http://www.economist.com/news/united-states/21707201-how-donald-trump-ushered-hateful-fringe-movement-mainstream-pepe-and).

Why I ask myself this now is because of we’re soon in 2017, there will be important questions ahead. Many that we cannot foresee as much as the environment and climate change might mean for us, as kid of the 90s I remember the sun-damage danger and the Ozone, now it’s the CO2 emissions and heated polluted air, that Donald Trump doesn’t believe him because he is not a penguin who’s struggling to in dwindling ice on Greenland. As he assemble people who cares for business over environment, that cares more about production than the reasons for the earthquakes in Oklahoma state: “The state has seen a sever spike in earthquakes of 3.0 magnitude or higher since 2008, when energy companies ramped up their hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, for oil and gas in the state, Choy said. The number of 3.0 magnitude quakes rose from 2 in 2008 to 889 last year, according to USGS statistics. So far this year, there have been 572” (USA Today,’ Oklahoma earthquake reignites concerns that fracking wells may be the cause’ 07.11.2016 link: http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2016/11/07/oklahoma-earthquake-fracking-well/93447830/).

We can wonder how this might be, as the Alt-Right, Republican Cabinet is assembled by men and woman who will honour Trump, be his advisors and take orders as he doesn’t have trouble with connections with his own businesses that his kids will control while he is in command. This is still an issue a month after as he will be Executive Producer for ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ on NBC while being in the White House, which is a hobby for the old-man who just used two years becoming President. So the Trump Organization will surely be controlled from the White House as he cannot shelf his control from anything he touches, even if that breaches with the constitution. That foreign dignitaries are now renting rooms in the Trump Hotels close to the White House, as it just happen to done during the Presidential Campaign was just coincidence: “Wednesday’s grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony marked the culmination of a $200 million project. The Trump Organization renovated the 1899 Romanesque Revival-style Old Post Office building, on Pennsylvania Avenue near the White House. With 263 guest rooms and suites, and a ballroom that Trump has said is the biggest in the nation’s capital, the hotel is among the priciest in town. Donald Trump, speaking at the event, said the hotel came in “under budget and ahead of schedule.” He cut the ribbon in the lobby alongside wife Melania and children Ivanka, Donald Jr., Eric and Tiffany” (Bloomberg – ‘Trump Executives Tout Brand Resilience at D.C. Hotel Opening’ 26.10.2016 link: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-10-26/trump-executives-use-d-c-hotel-opening-to-tout-brand-resilience).

So as he was a Presidential-Candidate he could consider his time to his own business, how could we get there and how could the citizens who voted for him think he will act differently a month after? Certainly the proof now is clear that he thinks of his business and opportunities as much as he can consider America first. The public might grab glimpses of his thoughts on Twitter, but not a reality of how that will be configured in actions as President.

What the world can expect and how he will acts is unsure, more unsure than the policies of the Tories coming to the “leaving Europe and European Union in the Red-White-Blue Brexit” of Theresa May. Donald Trump might bomb somewhere for oil, he might kill kids and families to stop the civil war in Syria. What we can foresee of his actions is unknown and the US Society accepted that sort opinions and as a Commander-in-Chief is exceptional.

The bravery and the reality, the stuttering silence of hope and only despair. Industrialization together with Multi-National Companies who gotten all freedom and liberty, while the citizens has to apply and be lucky to get jobs. The reality of Multi-National Companies steering lobbying in Washington D.C. and together with giant supported Super-PACs has picked out the “good” candidates for the Trump Administration as the roots of too big to fail is evident in the matter of businesses of the day. That is where the US dream is happening and dying. It is dying because of the Multi-National gets full control of the Senate and Congress, the President and if the Supreme Court Justices dies, than they can get their selected people to run for them there too. Not for the public good or will, but for the companies’ profits. That will be on overdrive with the men that has been picked as Secretary of Treasury and Secretary of Commerce.

How did we get to a place where the Presidential Candidate who was supposed to be there for the workers, the American workers was in shambles, that he nominees a man who has done this: “Puzder observes, “They’re not talking about $15 or $12 an hour, the kind of dramatic increases that are being bandied about in the political process right now.”  CKE’s average wage, he says, is a bit over $10 an hour, “so we’re not talking about everybody in the restaurant working for $7.25.” (In California, the minimum wage is now $10.) “But we’re talking about entry-level jobs. Are people going to want to hire entry-level employees for these very high minimums, which come with Obamacare, which come with mandatory sick leave, or other benefits which the government imposes on business for these individuals? Are you going to be able to keep minimum wage entry-level job positions open for individuals?” (L.A. Times – ‘   Does Andy Puzder really want to replace his Carl’s Jr. workers with robots? No, but…’ 30.03.2016 link: http://www.latimes.com/business/hiltzik/la-fi-hiltzik-puzder-20160322-snap-htmlstory.html).

So with this all in mind, we should ask how we got here? Michael Moore said it so nicely back in the day: “Midwest Math, or Welcome to Our Rust Belt Brexit.  I believe Trump is going to focus much of his attention on the four blue states in the rustbelt of the upper Great Lakes – Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Four traditionally Democratic states – but each of them have elected a Republican governor since 2010 (only Pennsylvania has now finally elected a Democrat). In the Michigan primary in March, more Michiganders came out to vote for the Republicans (1.32 million) that the Democrats (1.19 million). Trump is ahead of Hillary in the latest polls in Pennsylvania and tied with her in Ohio. Tied? How can the race be this close after everything Trump has said and done? Well maybe it’s because he’s said (correctly) that the Clintons’ support of NAFTA helped to destroy the industrial states of the Upper Midwest. Trump is going to hammer Clinton on this and her support of TPP and other trade policies that have royally screwed the people of these four states” (…) “That’s a small peek into the mind of the Endangered White Male. There is a sense that the power has slipped out of their hands, that their way of doing things is no longer how things are done. This monster, the “Feminazi,”the thing that as Trump says, “bleeds through her eyes or wherever she bleeds,” has conquered us — and now, after having had to endure eight years of a black man telling us what to do, we’re supposed to just sit back and take eight years of a woman bossing us around?” (…) “The Depressed Sanders Vote. Stop fretting about Bernie’s supporters not voting for Clinton – we’re voting for Clinton! The polls already show that more Sanders voters will vote for Hillary this year than the number of Hillary primary voters in ’08 who then voted for Obama. This is not the problem. The fire alarm that should be going off is that while the average Bernie backer will drag him/herself to the polls that day to somewhat reluctantly vote for Hillary, it will be what’s called a “depressed vote” – meaning the voter doesn’t bring five people to vote with her. He doesn’t volunteer 10 hours in the month leading up to the election” (Michael More – ‘5 Reasons Why Trump Will Win’ link: http://michaelmoore.com/trumpwillwin/).

That Michael Moore saw it coming and asked for society to think about the reasons for protest Trump vote out there and the plans for shaking certain swing-states to the Republican Party. Something that happen… and it wasn’t beautiful the ones who had hope for another experience. We can just wonder how they got duped to follow this man and made the system ready for his as commander in chief!

I just wonder how the American Experience became Donald J. Trump, how we went from hope and change, into fear and depression, where the army and military will get more power, where the multi-national companies will be more connected with the Trump Administration and the fracking, big-oil, giant banks and finance industry get more power in the White House. The Republican Party and their loyal cronies will have both houses and the Presidency under Trump. So the possibilities are endless. We can wonder how we got here.

How did we get here? And we should ask ourselves that? The answers are many and reasons for the US election turning to Trump should be asked more times as the answers will be different with times, as the layers will peeled off and we will find the core reasons for why a Reality Star, a Real Estate Investor and a Limited Label salesman, sometimes a snake-oil of that, became the next President of the United States. Peace.

Opinion: The American people now have to live on the philosophy of Slim Charles; Actually fight for the lies of Trump!

Slim Charles: “Don’t matter who did what to who at this point. Fact is, we went to war and now there ain’t no goin’ back. I mean, shit, it’s what war is, you know? Once you in it, you in it. If it’s a lie, then we fight on that lie. But we gotta fight” (The Wire, Season 3 Episode 12 – “Misson Accomplished”, 09.12.2004).

Why do I start off with Slim Charles as he is talking about fighting a war over corners with Marlo Stanfield in Baltimore and Avon Barkesdal lost his companion and comrade Stringer Bell after he was ratted out… but what I will talk about isn’t the Wire, but it has been the same way with the Campaign and Phenomenon of Donald J. Trump.

Today, I made realisation while taking public transport to work. I thought to myself what has been the main component of Trump’s game-plan. It seems to show as little as possible of policy, as little as possible of political framework and being part of the establishment. But also transparency and accountability has been like aids to the Candidacy of the Republican Candidate Trump.

Another key part of the accountability and transparency is that he has constantly lied. The lies has been staggering and at massive levels. Like the ice that hit the Titanic, it should have sunk the ship of an ordinary campaign, but the American couldn’t care less. Trump lied about his past, his wealth, his education, his lifestyle, his previous ethical background.

He has lied to public about his wealth, he is not as rich as he claims; if he we’re so he would have given the public the IRS Tax Returns. Because there we would see the real value of the Trump Organization, the golf-courses and the value of ‘the Art of the Deal’; because the toilet paper of stated wealth and ownership is oversaturated. If it we’re the true deal and not a play of cards to the public, since if it we’re true value than it would been given the same value of the estates, businesses and royalties. First lie!

Second lie, must be the portrayal of success in general; is with the bankruptcies in Casinos’ in Atlantic City, Trump Institute and University, Trump Steaks, Trump Vodka, Trump Magazines, Trump Airlines and so on. The success now has been “the Apprentice” on the Television with a dozen of seasons. The rest he has earned money on is stifling his costumers and with dozens of law-suits. Other than because of shady reputation because of that the way of earning revenue hasn’t become of building houses or high-raises, instead it has become a licensing operation. So his name is what makes the money, not his achievements. People are buying into the Trump name, but not the real value of premium products or quality service.

So when he is not as rich as he says he is, another lie; then you have the business-savvy point that settles with a licensing operation and not a true, yet another lie.

That is the most important parts of his project, as he was a successful businessman who wasn’t a politician. Well, he is more flip-flopping politician and also a cruel one at that. The Political play has been to use the others past against them. Since he wasn’t really a politician; still the Trump has lied about Ted Cruz, John Kasich, and Jeb Bush.

The other lies are is stances, at one point in life he was a very aligned with the Democratic Party, siding with Bill and Hillary Clinton, defending his infidelity and claiming that Hillary was a fine woman. At one point he was defending and saying that the U.S. should go quickly in to Libya and get rid of Col. Gadhafi. Another point where he defended George W. Bush and his father for their wars in Iraq; while on the Campaign Trial he has dined all of this asked for the tapes, asked for the evidence, but the clips are accessible and online for anybody who wants. His Video-Logs are there too, where he speaks of the similar matters too.

The lies are endless, and his image is a lie, his persona and his attitude to. Because he change as needed be, he is said to have a moral flexibility. Well, he has been structured on hatred for immigrants and for foreign interference, he is an isolationist. That is it! The rest hasn’t been steady, on basic minimum wage his stance has changed, on deportation force it has change and the stances are endless.

The worst part is that American Electorate apparently didn’t care, or not enough of them. They have bought into a cobb-web of lies and deceit. They ate it all up and bought into the sellers tale.

I wouldn’t believe the words that come out of his mouth, he only says what he need to say or told to say. He talks against the usage of Teleprompters, but used it freely when it benefitted him. He claimed Mitt Romney released his tax-returns too late, but till this date he hasn’t dropped his and I doubt he will. So his states and statement are pointless, are just needed for his own stature, but not for his character.

The Character of him only known by his close family and whatever friends he has; to rest of us it is lies upon lies. Deception of who he might be and what he stand for, except for his blatant racists spurges of vomit. Trump has been able to sit in golden chairs and licence out products with golden letters, but his true delivery is his lies. The lie that he is good and want to “Make America Great Again”. He wants to make himself great again, back in the day when he was great and built the Trump Tower with the help of the Mafia. He doesn’t care about the working-class in Wisconsin or Mississippi.

Trump lies and will continue to lie for the benefit of himself and his cause; the cause being himself and his fictions lifestyle. Therefore he wants to spend more time at Mar-A-Lago in Miami, Penthouse in New York, than at the White House. Because he want his loyal minions to work out the perks, while he carry the title. He doesn’t care about anybody else than himself, he wants to spend time on the golf-course and eat the benefits of the Public Office. Not actually work for living, he has lied for living already and wants to relax as President.

Just wait and see, he will spend less time in office than Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, he is more concern about the benefits of being President for his donors, rich wealthy elite; which happens to be the establishment and not the common-man in Michigan or North Dakota.

The man that based his life on lies and built his current business on more lies; the lies that are deceptive and deconstructive to him and to society; that now is the true state of affairs. Trump has the choice either to destroy or rebuild.

But he went to war on that lie like Slim Charles said and now they have to continue to fight on that lie. The lie that Trump had something to deliver other than his own self-constructed bloated ego. Peace.  

Trump University: the ultimate fraud from the Donald, as it was never licensed and famous for bait-and-switch tactics of the students!

“Anticipate change and embrace it; change can affect the entire picture. Recognize new developments you can capitalize on, profit from and use to open new doors” – Donald J. Trump

The Donald Trump continues to blatantly lie about his role and the ambition of the Trump University (TU), I feel the need to drop certain knowledge from the paperwork that is openly distributed and fearlessly showing the true narrative of the matter. I have looked at lots of corruption, lies and deceit over the years, and I will let the court documents and the other leaks speak, not my own narrative… because I already despise the man and his methods, there no honor or real pride in the man, all that matters is the earned profits by any means.

The main objectives if don’t know as the excessive petitions and court documents says, is that he was owning and running a University without a License, enrolling students, promising Education and Programs that will create wealth, while promising to handpicking teachers and mentors; while all of the mentors and teachers was handpicked from Mr. Sexton and not Trump, the school was not official, since it hadn’t license, neither the teachers or mentors, so the educations did not have a value; while the students was enrolled and tried to get to sign-up them for expensive programs and max-out credit-cards. All out of this happen while Sexton and Trump, knew that they didn’t meet up to standards of both NYSED and New York Educational Laws as Educational Facility. So the value of any degree or certificate wouldn’t have value, as the institution for the student, we’re not paying or getting value for the money spent on their “education” there. So take a look at the viable truth of the TU!

Attorney General of New York Petition on unlawful acts of Trump University:

“From 2005 through 2011, respondents operated an unlicensed, illegal educational institution from their headquarters in New York City, which purported to teach each student’s Donald Trump’s real estate strategies and techniques. Until May 2010, respondents operated their program illegally as “Trump University” because they were not chartered as a university as required New York law and were even notified by the New York State Education Department (“NYSED”) as early as 2005 that their use of the word “university” violated New York Law” (…)”Respondents repeatedly claimed that prospective students would be taught by successful real estate “experts” who were ”handpicked” by Donald Trump. In fact, respondents lacked  substantiation for the claims that their instructors and mentors were successful real estate entrepreneurs. Not one single one was “handpicked” by Donald Trump” (…)”Though their deceptive and unlawful practices, respondents intentionally misled over 5000 individuals nationwide, including 600 New Yorkers, into paying as much as $35,000 each to participate in live seminars and mentorship programs with the promise of learning Donald Trump’s real estate investing techniques” (…)”In 2004, Donald Trump, Michael Sexton, and Jonathan Spitalny formed Donald Trump University LLC as a New York limited liability company. The original business plan focused primarily on long-distance learning through they were “experimenting” with a variety of formats, including some live programs” (…)”Ultimately, for more than five years, respondents failed to take any steps to rectify the legal violations raised by NYSED” (…)”To the present day Trump University has never obtained or even applied for the proper licensure to operate as an educational institution in New York State. Neither Trump University nor any of its employees or representatives ever applied for any other licenses, certifications, or approvals for NYSED for its teachers, directors, or sales agents. Trump University never submitted any materials to NYSED for approval in compliance with the Educational Law. In addition, Trump University never paid any tuition assessments to NYSED to fund reimbursements to students” (…)”In fact, Donald Trump netted  about $5 million in profit from Trump University. Notwithstanding this fact, instructors claimed that the costs of Trump University programs were designed to ensure that students would feel invested in them. Similarly false claims were made again when instructors  regarding the Trump Elite programs” (…)”Donald Trump holds his stake in Trump University through two closely held corporations, DJT University Members LLC and DJT University Managing Member LLC, together giving him control of 92% of the equity in Trump University” (…)”The sole signatories of the bank accounts of Trump University are Donald Trump, his three adult children, and Allan Weisselberg, Trump Organization’s chief financial officer. None of these signatories were ever employees of the Trump University LLC” (Attorney General of New York, 2013).

What the key points from the Attorney General in Texas:

“Defendants engage in false, misleading and deceptive practices in promoting and selling their real estate investment seminars in Texas. Defendants target Texas consumers eager to earn additional income during the economic slowdown by promising to teach them dubious real estate investment strategies that will score them big profits in virtually no time. Defendant Trump University (Trump U ) advertises free investor workshops on real estate investing in various newspapers throughout Texas to the general public. The advertisements promise consumers that if they attend the free workshops they will have the opportunity to [l]eam from Donald Trump’s handpicked experts how you can profit from the largest real estate liquidation in history , how to profit from the billion dollar bailouts and to teach foreclosure investing from the inside out” (…)”Defendants falsely assert at these “free workshops” that the classes are approved continuing education· credit for realtors. The Texas Real Estate Commission has not approved any Trump University courses for continuing education credit. Defendant Trump University is also not an accredited institution of higher learning and does not have a certificate of authority to use the term “University” in the state of Texas in violation of TEX Enuc. CODE § 6.313. Trump University has also not complied with Secretary of State registration or tax requirements necessary to do business in Texas or paid sales tax on any of their sales” (…)”the Trump U representatives tell attendees that the 3-day seminar is being offered at a special reduced price (1,495) for workshop attendees even though the 3-day seminar is primarily marketed to free workshop attendees at this regular price and rarely, if ever, marketed at the inflated rates quoted to attendees. However, Defendants fail to tell the attendees that the instructors are paid a commission by Trump U for every student who signs up for the 3-day course” (…)”Defendants’ representatives also ask attendees, on the morning of the first day of the seminar, to call their credit card companies, banks, and mortgage companies and ask for an increase or extension of credit so that they may finance the Gold Elite package purchase. Defendant Trump U will even ask attendees to call their bank during these one-on-one sessions while the representative waits. The primary goal of the 3-day seminars appears to be more high pressure sales tactics in an attempt to induce them into purchasing Defendant Trump Us Gold Elite package for $35,000” (…)”Moreover, the so-called strategies that are taught are highly speculative and maybe tantamount to encouraging attendees to sell real estate without a license, which is illegal in Texas” (…)”There have been approximately 57 free Trump U workshops conducted in Texas, with approximately 50-100 attendees per workshop. Approximately 450 Texas consumers have purchased the $1,495 three-day seminar, the $35,000 Gold Elite package, or other courses or products” (…)”The total, all in, we would recommend for settlement· at this points $3,750,000, plus injunctive relief. We recommend a starting point $5,430,884, all in, to begin negotiations. Next week, on May 19, 2010, at the settlement conference, we will present our case to Defendants’ attorneys in more detail and if we have approval will give them copy the draft petition. At that time, we would like to set forth our demand with the all in number $5.4 million. We have already advised Defendants’ lawyers that any settlement will run into the seven figures” (Abbott, 2010).

So even the State of Texas had issues with the TU and the their way of business, they had similar acts against the business, as the school, we’re not registered, we’re not open and legal entity, was set a “foreign business” in the State of Texas; the amount of clients or students shows the reach of the “University” as the workshops hooked Texans to it and the promise of learning from Trump. Something that didn’t happen and therefore the AG of Texas expected that the Trump Organization facilitated the refunds and give back to the ones who bought into the “product” sold in Trump’s name in Texas, interesting, right?

Important Passages from Trump University Playbook:

Here is what the Speakers and employees of the “Trump University” was told to look after the first day of lessons in the three day course: “Identifying Buyers: Once you have the completed profiles, the team should go through each profile and determine who has the most and least liquid assets and rank them using the following scale:

E1 – Over $35,000 of liquid assets

E2 – Between $20,000 and $30,000 of liquid assets

E3 – Under $10,000 of liquid assets

E4 – Less than $2,000 of liquid assets

401ks and IRAs should not be considered when using the ranking system since these are not liquid, available cash.

*Prior to Day 2, the team should review One-on-One/Making the Sale in the Sales Playbook, along with Objections & Rebuttals” (Trump University Playbook, P: 36, 2010)”.

The buyers are the students who has signed up for the first 3-day course, so the employees and hired men of the Trump Organization to the facility was looking out for the people with cash so they could sign up for more and longer programs.

Here is more from the special curriculum from the Trump University Playbook:  

“TO ALL EMPLOYEES, MENTORS, COACHES, SPEAKERS AND CONTRACTORS HAVING CONTACT WITH TRUMP UNIVERSITY CUSTOMERS (ATTENDEES AND BUYERS):” (…)”  You are specifically prohibited from speaking with any journalist, reporter, author, blogger, newspaper, or media outlet with regards to Trump University, Trump Organization or Mr. Trump” (Trump University Playbook P: 71, 2010).

So the employees and mentors where told directly not to market or talk about their work and what they do, even as their owner are constantly in the media and tries to be kept relevant at some news-outlet at any given time. But this is not the worst, but proves the issues with the school, because an ordinary educational facility or higher Education usually wants their name out and knowledge of their teachers to get articles in the press with their studies and research. There is more:

“ATTORNEY GENERAL:

• If an attorney general arrives on the scene, contact April Neumann immediately.
• By law, you do not have to show them any personal information unless they present a warrant; however, you are expected to be courteous” (Trump University Playbook P: 82, 2010).

So the Trump Organization had expected issues with the law and even with the lawmen, as they knew very well that they were acting without license so any Educational Facility or School without license is not allowed to teach, as none of the mentors or teachers had license to teach either. Attorney General had to have warrant, if not they had to contact central persons in the Trump Organization.

Here is more:

“SURVEY PROCEDURE: Please note: If at any point one of the below individuals is out of the office, the surveys will skip to the next hand-off point” (…)”Brad Schneider will pass surveys onto April Neumann (Director of Operations). April will review and address any pertinent issues with the Program Coordinator, Sales Coordinators, and Speakers. Any scores of less than 90% will be deemed below standards and addressed through a mandated post-conference call with the team to review compliance and event expectations” (…)”April Neumann will return surveys to Denise Ong to be filed accordingly” (Trump University Playbook, P: 86, 2010).

Here are some outtakes from an testimony for the case ‘Art Cohen, et al. vs. Donald J. Trump’ that are United States District Court, Southern District of California, where he said this on tape about the Trump University on the 10^th December 2015:

(A: Donald Trump, Q: Attorney General)

“Mr. Sexton’s sworn testimony to the Office of the

New York State Attorney General.

• · · · · · ·If you could, please, direct your

attention to the second page, which is page 157.

• · · · · · ·At line 10, Mr. Sexton is asked:
• · · · · · ·”QUESTION:· And were any of those —
• · · any of these other speakers at any of those
• · · events handpicked by Donald Trump?”
• · · · · · ·Mr. Sexton’s answer:

“ANSWER:· None of our instructors at

• · · the live events were handpicked by Donald
• · · Trump.”
• · · · · · ·Do you have any basis to dispute

Mr. Sexton’s testimony in this regard?

• · · A.· · ·No.· That’s correct” (Donald J. Trump, 10.12.2015).

There are coming more to answers from Donald Trump in his affidavit:

“Q.· · ·Do you recall Mr. Sexton bringing to

your attention in 2005 issues with the New York

State Department of Education regarding the

legality of using the name “University” in the

State of New York?

• · · A.· · ·Very vaguely, but I thought he had

it all worked out.

• · · Q.· · ·So you remember the issue coming up

back then, but you thought he worked it out?

• · · A.· · ·I thought he worked it out. I

remember the issue, but I thought it was all

worked out”  – A bit later he was more cross questioned in court about the 2005 and University license:

“Were there any repercussions for

Mr. Sexton once you found out that it had not

actually been worked out?

• · · A.· · ·Well, I think it was years later

that I actually found out.· Yeah, I was not

happy.· I was not happy.· Because it’s so easy to

work out.· It’s not like a big deal”

(Donald J. Trump, 10.12.2015).

So for Donald J. Trump there are no big-deal to own a unlicensed school, that takes in intuition and enrolls “students” to a school with so-called “handpicked” mentors and teachers, where the is no big deal, as it was not worked out with the New York State, and New York Law, when it comes to an educational facility, that is a big deal, because without the license the education is fraud and not worth the money the student fueled into it.

Here is some from one his former employee’s declaration:

“I worked for Trump University from May 2007 through October 2007. My title was Manager of Events Department. I worked at Trump University’s headquarters located at 40 Wall Street, New York, New York, which is also where Trump Organization is located” (…)”In my experience, the focus of Trump University was on making sales rather than on providing quality educational services. Trump University would lure consumers into the initial free course based upon the name and reputation of Donald Trump, and then once they were there, Trump University personnel would try to up-sell consumers to the next course using high-pressure sales tactics. Far from providing a “complete real estate education,” as advertised, Trump University personnel only provided enough information to get students to sign up for the next seminar or program. I recall instances in which consumers had paid for a class to learn how to make money investing in real estate, ask for more information, and the teacher would say, “if you want to get that, you have to buy the next package.” (…)”I am aware that instructors were trained to, and witnessed them, asking students during the $1,500 seminars to call their credit card companies and raise their credit limits two, three or four times so that they would be able to invest in real estate. They would tell students to max out their credit card because they would make their money back. They couldn’t raise their limit and use it the same day” (…)”While Trump University’s advertisements claimed it wanted to help consumers make money in real estate, in fact, based upon my experience, I believe that Trump University was only interested in selling every person the most expensive seminars they could possibly buy on credit” (Sommer, 19.09.2012).

Court order to allow the release of the Trump University Playbook of 2010:

“First, even under a lower “good cause” standard, Judge Gallo found that the majority of the information was either not confidential or only “arguably trade secret” when taken together as a compilation. The contents of the 2010 Playbook have since been publicly disclosed on the Internet, and the disputed material in the 2009 Playbook and the Field Team Playbook is largely duplicative of that in the 2010 Playbook. Thus, to the extent that the disputed material’s trade secret status rested on how it was compiled, the release of the entire compilation vitiates the argument that the compilation constituted a trade secret. Second, Defendant makes only conclusory assertions as to why the disputed material should be considered a trade secret, and upon review of the material, the Court agrees with Judge Gallo that it is largely “very routine and commonplace information.” (ECF No. 176, 27.05.2016). As the Trump University and Trump Organization didn’t wanted the Playbook released as the Playbook of 2010, would prove how the TU was made to sell most courses and programs to their students, instead of teaching them real-estate strategies of Donald Trump.

He is so well-organized that the TU was never licensed and never official educational facility, not in New York or any other State they had work-shops, the teacher set-up so they could get people to come to free workshops and buy 3-day courses, if not get them also to buy into the Gold-Elite Package of the Trump U. That proves the values of the man, as the bait-and-switch, the empty promises while not delivering any.

The man who shows a lot’s of empty promises, screaming wolf, without seeing any, and continues to scream wolf. So when the wolf arrives, people like me will not believe in him, as the only thing he delivers are lies. It doesn’t matter if he has dozen of good ratings, this was never an official or legal entity for education, the material was to sell classes and mentoring, not giving away educational material in the Real Estate business, so the vast evidence of conspiracy, says “fraud” and “lies” and “rubbish”. There are reasons for why you accredit schools and teachers, why they are educated and why you have NYSED who credits schools, as they are setting curriculum and books for the set teaching and the Educational Facilities so the people who pays intuition and get degree’s that they actually have a value and not sold like candy or even like hawkers selling papers on the street.

Here is also a tactic used to sell the products to the students:

One more clip about it: 

I think that is enough for now and should be settled. Peace.
