As you may have read, and as described in this article by Michael Gormley, "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." The AG's press release is hard-hitting, saying that Trump's school "bilk[ed] students out of thousands of dollars." The AG goes on:
Mr. Trump used his celebrity status and personally appeared in
commercials making false promises to convince people to spend tens of
thousands of dollars they couldn't afford for lessons they never got. No
one, no matter how rich or popular they are, has a right to scam hard
working New Yorkers. Anyone who does should expect to be held
accountable.
