    “paid up to $35,000 for seminars to learn about the billionaire’s real estate investment strategies”

    To be fair, they kind of did learn about the billionaire’s strategies. The hard way.

      You can read through TU’s 2010 seminar guide now. It’s online, and it’s horrific. It’s not any worse than any other hard sell seminar scam like timeshares or investment clubs, but it is every bit as bad. There’s a whole section on how to pressure marks (I mean candidates) into spending huge amounts of money on the Trump programs, including one that recommends that the sales associate question the prospect on their monthly expenses and then explain how they can handle putting $35K on their credit card because it will only be another $300/month in expenses for them. It made my skin crawl to read it.

      The guide walks the sales associate through room setup, chair placement, how to spot “motivated” individuals by body language and the questions they answer, and then explains how to isolate the mark to close the final sale. To be fair, I have no doubt Trump had zero to do with this. The guy couldn’t organiz a successful offsite meeting at a Clairmont Inn, let alone a sophisticated scam operation like TU. He just is willing to lend his name to literally anyone with a checkbook.

      Have at it:

        From what you’re saying, there’s also a whiff of MLM (multilevel marketing), formerly known as pyramid schemes. It sounds like it’s about finding marks to find other marks to find other marks to sucker money from them.

      Fuck Trump, but from this article I learned that there is a town called East Chicago and it is in Indiana. I really don't know how to feel about that.

        I mean, Chicagoland does kind of spill across the border so it’s not that unusual. Although Indiana also has a Michigan City so maybe they just like appropriating names.

        How about this one....

        There’s a town of Mexico in snow country NY just south of Watertown/Ft. Drum.

        I like this game. On a related note- when Mr. Cocopop had a motorcycle accident and surgery on his leg, which resulted in him limping for quite a while, my pet name for him was SlowMeDown Milosevic. Young love!

        I’d like to believe that Judge Judy has too much sense to fool with Donald Trump.

        Trump’s first judicial appointment- Dr. Laura.

        Here she is telling you that you made your bed and you’re just going to have to lie in it.

        Slowmedown Milosevic is too perfect. As is “Doctor” Laura. That which is also perfect about Doctor Laura is that she is as much of a hypocrite in her own personal life as is Mr. Trump (who may begin calling himself Dr. Trump at any moment)!

        Since you responded, I will unredact the redaction!

        Who will Donald Trump appoint as judge should he (goddess forbid) win the presidency?

        Ivanka (assuming she could fit it in with her VP duties)? Slobodan Milošević (assuming that death does not disqualify)? Donald Jr.? Barron? Putin (an obvious choice)? Judge Judy? Megyn Kelly? Who? Who?

        Chairman Mao?

      Could anything be more juvenile and obsolete than labelling someone who disagrees with you / is being paid to render legal judgment upon you a “hater”? Apart from speculating that one’s enemies are suffering from Jus Jellusity, I mean.

        This is what you’ve given us, Republicans. As the nominee for President of the United States for your party. The erstwhile party of Lincoln. Can you live with this?

        If so, you reap what you sow. Choose carefully. It’s a time of choosing, and history stands ready with the tally.

          I tried this on someone at a block party Sunday and got lukewarm agreement followed by a big bunch of “but Hillary is just as bad.”

          I actually hope he does. Taylor Swift sues teenagers on Etsy and Tumblr for copyright infringement. She’s most definitely going to go after Trump.
