Trump’s True Crimes - Episode 19: The University of Fraud
In this episode, we uncover the truth behind Trump University, a so-called real estate education program that promised to teach students how to achieve wealth, using Donald Trump’s own "secrets" of success. Instead, it turned out to be nothing more than a high-priced scam. Students paid thousands of dollars for seminars and mentoring, only to be sold empty promises and high-pressure sales tactics.
When the New York State Attorney General sued Trump in 2013 for fraud, it revealed a shocking pattern of deceit, false advertising, and exploitation of vulnerable people seeking to improve their financial lives. Trump was forced to settle for $25 million, but the real cost was the trust he shattered with thousands of hopeful students.
In this episode, we break down how Trump University became another failed venture in a long list of Trump’s questionable business practices, proving once again that his path to wealth was often paved with manipulation and deceit.
