Okej, Vanita har satt sig själv ännu djupare i skiten. Bara idén om att en man som Trump, vars imperium tvingats i konkurs vid upprepade tillfällen, ska lära ut ekonomi är bisarr. Dessutom är Trump University mer eller mindre lurendrejeri:
"Trump University representatives also told students during the three-day seminar to raise their credit card limits four times during the break for “real estate transactions,” and had students prepare detailed financial statements, presumably for real estate purchases. In fact, Trump’s real reason for having students increase their credit limits and provide detailed financial statements was to assess how much money each student had to spend on the next Trump seminar, and to persuade the students to use their increased credit limit to purchase the Trump Gold Program for $34,995.”
Det kan heller inte klassas som ett universitet, då det inte bedrivs någon forskning där. Knappast heller något lärande:
"Speakers used the same slide presentation, the same script, and even had detailed instructions for the presentation, down to where the speakers and coordinators should stand, the temperature of the room and the music to be played during the Introduction – “Money, Money, Money” from the Apprentice show."
Tack och lov blev han stämd, se nedan:
"New York’s attorney general sued Donald Trump for $40 million Saturday, saying the real estate mogul helped run a phony “Trump University” that promised to make students rich but instead steered them into expensive and mostly useless seminars, and even failed to deliver promised apprenticeships. … Attorney General Eric Schneiderman says many of the 5,000 students who paid up to $35,000 thought they would at least meet Trump but instead all they got was their picture taken in front of a life-size picture of “The Apprentice” TV star.
'Trump University engaged in deception at every stage of consumers’ advancement through costly programs and caused real financial harm,” Schneiderman said. “Trump University, with Donald Trump’s knowledge and participation, relied on Trump’s name recognition and celebrity status to take advantage of consumers who believed in the Trump brand.'"
Jag måste säga att jag inte är ett dugg förvånad över att Vanita fallit för det här. Det är yta, genvägar och skojeri rakt igenom. Vad som däremot förvånar mig är att programledarna inte konfronterade henne. Visserligen är hon ett dragplåster för programmet, men det irriterar mig att hon får stå oemotsagd till förmån för "bra tv". Jag tror inte för en sekund att hon tjänat en ynka krona sedan Lyxfällan besökte henne sist.
