Things About Donald J Trump That He Does'nt Want You To Know

1)Running a Scam University

First, you should know that Trump University (TU) wasn’t a university. This is important because New York State prohibits calling your company a university if it isn’t one. Second, you should know that it was a scam company dedicated to fleecing millions from vulnerable people.

TU has been called a “classic bait-and-switch” scheme. All the classes were geared toward making students sign up for expensive seminars where they would “learn Trump’s personal techniques.”

Once there, the entire seminar involved pressuring them to sign up for a $35,000 “mentorship program.” Those who joined the program reportedly learned nothing beyond generic techniques and never once personally met Trump.

In fact, TU so badly misrepresented itself that the New York attorney general’s office is now taking the candidate to court.

  1. Running a Scam Charity:

The Donald J. Trump Foundation is an unusual charity. The money it raises doesn’t always go to good causes. Trump has previously used its funds to treat himself with gifts.

In one case, Trump used $20,000 of the foundation’s cash to buy a
painting of himself that was 2 meters (6 ft) high. There is literally no
definition of the word “charity” that includes buying paintings of
Donald Trump for Donald Trump.

This would be one thing if the charity used Trump’s own money. It doesn't. The foundation is funded entirely by other philanthropists.
Unusually for a foundation, its founder hasn’t given since 2008.
Instead, Trump has used the foundation’s charitable status to get
donations from other rich people.

Then he gives these donations away to second charities, making himself look philanthropic. He even won an award for giving $150,000 to a
police association . . . despite every cent originally coming from the
Evans Foundation.

  1. Endless Lying:

Trump has been accused of lying countless times during his campaign.
It’s one thing to hear a random website say it. It’s another to hear an admission coming straight from Trump’s mouth. In a 2007 court case,
Trump was asked under oath to verify the truth of multiple past statements. He wound up admitting that 30 of them were lies.

The lies ranged from the size of his wealth to recent business deals he’d made to the number of people on his payroll. Some were exaggerations. Some were distortions. Some were just straight-up lies.
All are now on file in court documents.

This is important because Trump’s campaign is built on telling unpalatable truths. In the primaries, he even made a point of calling
Ted Cruz “Lyin’ Ted.”

  1. Being An Irresponsible President:

In July 2016, The New York Times ran a quote from a member of John Kasich’s campaign staff with disturbing implications. They claimed that Trump’s long-term political plan is essential to hand the office of president over to his vice president after the election.

The staffer claimed that Kasich had been offered the role of vice president by Trump. Trump’s campaign asked if Kasich would like to be
“the most powerful president in history.” He’d take over domestic and foreign policy.

Meanwhile, President Trump’s role would simply be “making America
great again.” In other words, Kasich would have been president, with
Trump acting as a self-glorifying figurehead.

If true, this is hugely irresponsible. It suggests that Trump wants to win and then just step aside. Aside from being unprecedented, it would also amount to lying to the electorate and using something as serious as a presidential election for nothing more than trivial games.

You realize most public schools are scams right? Why else do you think the U.S. fell out of the top 10 in a generation?
Or was Trump running all the universities and it's some grand conspiracy?
