Trump University Reviews

Legit or Scam?

 

Trump Entrepreneur Initiative (formerly known as Trump University) is an online learning center headed by business and media mogul Donald Trump. Over the years Trump has made a name for himself in high-end real estate and property development, but is perhaps recently more famous for his television shows, The Apprentice and Celebrity Apprentice.

The Trump Entrepreneur Initiative focuses on providing education through four main categories: Real Estate, Entrepreneurship, Management, and Wealth Creation. Each of these topics is taught through a variety of mediums such as online courses, home study kits, and through live seminars/retreats.

Trump Entrepreneur Initiative is not an accredited program, meaning you won't actually get a real degree or college credits upon completion. In fact, the Department of Education sent a letter to the organization denouncing the use of the word “University” as purposely misleading customers, which eventually led them to change their name.

Currently, Trump Entrepreneur Initiative is defending itself in a class action lawsuit filed in the state of California. The lawsuit alleges that the organization was “more like an infomercial, selling non-accredited products, such as sales workshops, luring customers in with the name and reputation of its founder and Chairman, billionaire land mogul Donald J. Trump.”

All the courses and products at Trump Entrepreneur Initiative are backed by Trump's satisfaction guarantee. If for whatever reason you are not pleased with your education, you have 30 days to get a full money back refund, but you must be able to return all your materials.

I can't help noticing that most of the people here complaining are clearly uneducated, simple-minded and negative; note the poor spelling, grammar and punctuation, and the inability to express themselves without the idiot's favorite ALL CAPS METHOD. Most people label educational seminars "scams" because most people fail to learn and make only feeble attempts at success before quitting.

They lead you to believe that the 'Trump' name will get you far! far into 35k of debt, the tactics they teach you, don't work in every market, no perhaps in any market. Who in their mind will sign their deed to you so you can kick them out and rent their house out. Seriously, the is the NYC area people are with teeth around here. They promise the world and deliver air.

Seriously? Now they are under the name of Armondo Montelongo, who showed up on day 2, the day they asked us to dress sharp! in a red tee shirt and baggy jeans looking like he slept in his clothes. Seriously folks, I hope that you get your money back!! Armando should be ashamed of himself!!
39,995 for the whole enchilada, 24,995 for the Platinum, and 15,000 for the Bus ride!!! Bahhhahahahha!

TRUMP UNIVERSITY IS GREAT IT TEACHES YOU HOW TO RIP PEOPLE OFF. I MUST ADMIT THEY ARE JUST GREAT. THEY SCREW YOU OUT OF YOUR MONEY WITH A SMILE ON THEIR FACE.THEY MAKE YOU BELIEVE YOU CAN MAKE A LOT OF MONEY IN REAL ESTATE EVEN IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A PENNY. THEY JUST SAY PUT IT ON YOUR CREDIT CARD IF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL DOES NOT FILE FRAUD CHARGES AGAINST THEM IT WOULD MAKE
ME BELIEVE THEY WERE PAID OFF. TRUMP GIVES M0NEY TO ALMOST ALL POLITICIANS TO MAKE SURE HE HAS ALL HIS BASES COVERED. WE NEED SOME HONEST POLITICIANS
WHO DON'T STICK THEIR HANDS OUT FOR MONEY.

ONLY A MORON WOULD HAVE SIGNED UP FOR THIS SCAM, YOU NEED MONEY TO MAKE MONEY.
I WAS AT A SEMINAR THEY MAKE IT APPEAR VERY EASY TO GET A GRANT THIS IS SO FAR FROM THE TRUTH IT IS A SHAME THAT THEY GOT AWAY STEALING PEOPLES MONEY AND GIVING THEM FALSE HOPE. I FEEL SORRY FOR THE PEOPLE WHO LOST THEIR MONEY.
THEY SHOULD GET THEIR OWN ATTORNEYS AND SUE FOR FRAUD.

Who has 35k to spend on a seminar??? Are you kidding me??? Take that money and go invest it; that’s how you make money in real estate…. it’s not that hard. Read a few books and take a chance. Anyone who pays that kind of money is either slow to learn or deserves to lose that kind of cash... I'm so pissed

SCAM !! I DID IT, SPENT 35K+ ON BAD ADVISE AND POOR MENTORING. I ASSUMED THERE WOULD BE MUCH MORE USEFUL INFO FOR THE PRICE. I HAVE PERSONALLY OWNED APT BUILDINGS AND RENTALS IN THE PAST AND HAVE DONE WELL !! WITH NO MENTOR OR TAPES. GOES TO SHOW YOU, YOU EITHER HAVE INSTINCTS ( USE YOURS ) OR YOU WANT INSTANT GRATIFICATION. MY TRUMP MENTOR SAID I SHOULD BE DOING HIS JOB . STAY WITH LOCAL MENTORS IN YOUR AREA. NOT HARD TO FIND AT A FRACTION OF THE COST. PS - WILL SELL TRUMP U STUFF CHEAP

The program is a huge scam. I realized this shortly after signing with Martin. If said I can hardly wait to work with you sitting across your kitchen table. Guess what he had no intention to do so. He assigned an associate, then another associate. I went as high up in the Trump org that they permit and got another individual to conduct the three day seminar.

Money should be refunded to all those poor soles who thought Trump name meant something - it was a huge scam.

Well, based on the volatile ratings and the huge difference between the type of comments these reviews present, I'd have to say that the people who wrote are either intellectuals who really want to learn something (and were disappointed) or noobs who want to get rich (who are more than happy enough to learn introductory materials).

I was thinking of signing up so I did some researching, glad I did.

Total pyramid scheme they don't sell real estate they sell books, seminars and mentorships. The more people you drag in the more you make. ANYONE who signs up for this is a moron and if your scamming these people that are dumb enough to believe all the hype..then more power to you. Why would ANYONE pay thousands of dollars for a "school" that's NOT accredited? I can't believe how many stupid people there are out there. It's amazing.

The job of a slick salesman is to overcome any and all objectives, doubts or obstacles you have that stand in the way of you buying into whatever they're selling. I'm not saying this is always wrong or deceitful, it's "sales 101". But it's absolutely 100% comical if you step back and look/analyze all the 5 star responses. They scream in total transparency that the authors of 99% of them are someone employed by or connected directly to the program.
For one, the comments of the 5 star posts are almost always directed to fix a recent previous bad review in subject matter. IE:: If someone complains of not getting a refund (which a half dozen at least are claiming), one of the very next comments are someone who magically had ZERO problems unlike many others and got a refund right away. This is almost guaranteed to be an employee diffusing doubt and fear of someone gullible who is considering wasting thousands of dollars.
The other hilarious thing is if you read the times and dates of the 5 star comments, you'll see a string of bad reviews over several days/weeks, then all the sudden there is 5 or 6 five star reviews in a row that are on the SAME EXACT day and some just happen to be minutes apart from each other but of coarse from different names and locations. They contain similar responses in subject matter, and they're in similar words and writing styles! LOL

Please!!! Everyone Google top signs of real estate scams and con artist. You'll see that these "Gurus" and programs fit all the signs like hot shrink wrap! Like the fact that the Gurus are always bragging about how rich they are and how big their houses are or how many cars they drive. This is to get you to start dreaming and emotionally desire and envy to be like them, therefor fork out all your money because obviously this person truly cares and wants to help you follow in their footsteps. And if they did it than I must be able to trust them! Here's $30,000, my life savings or max credit.
Geez, I read these good comments and picture someone on the other end of their keyboard laughing at how stupid I am and how genius they are.

Saen Higgins was speaking at the trump event in Boston peddling a tax lien program
An absolute scammer that must be arrested
Exaggerated every claim and lied throughout the presentation
It is sad and despicable that people like Higgins are given a microphone

All of these guys are con artists. When are you poor saps going to wise up. The wealth you seek can be found through local sources (books, real estate investment clubs--people doing it every day, plus a list of helpful businesses to help you do start your own business), You definitely don't need a course to do tax lien investing. It is one of the simplest processes out there, but seriously read a book or two. These 5 star comments are by the scammers, I guarantee it. They are liars of the worst sort. Not only are they after your cash, but your hopes and dreams. The day will come when they will realize how foolish they have been with their allotted time on earth,but until then, don't give them one dime of your hard earned cash. Lastly, have a little faith in yourself; you're smarter than you think you are. This stuff IS NOT rocket science. Rememeber the golden rule in all your dealings with others. You may not become Donald Trump, but you may just be surprised by how well things turn out.

If you ATTENDED but didnt make money it is because of the fear rays protruding out of your forehead. Nay sayers are feeding politics and making religion popular.

Look people, anyone giving this program a 5-star rating is a shill for Trump U. Donald Trump is a fame wh*re, and he would never give away his secrets! Shame on him for pimping out his name to these hustlers who are just trying to steal people's money. They got all their info from the late night TV real estate programs that are on at 3 am - which by the way are also fraudulent - anyone who wants to know about real estate can just either read about it or go to school to get a real estate license. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR ENERGY AT ONE OF THESE OUTDATED SEMINARS. The people with the complaints are telling the truth; the others are probably the people running the seminars just trying to get more people to sign up. DON'T DO IT AND FILE THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IF THEY'VE RIPPED YOU OFF! There is strength in numbers!

I attended a Trump University event and a Guru in the name of Cherif Medawar spoke about commercial real estate. He was so exciting and practical it was the best two hours I have ever attended in any seminar company.
He was very approachable and personable, which is rare for these gurus especially those teaching or selling at Trump events.
I attended Cherif Medawar's training and I must admit he is a wealth of knowledge and 100% the real thing. He should be on the apprentice show and compete with others. I can't wait to start making money with his programs. Thank you Trump for bringing Medawar to the hungry students and investors in CA.

Ive been at the free information session tonight, and I was excited... But it sounds in my head that is too beautiful to be true... If those 4 people (trump people) are rich by making big investment in real estate, why the are spending the evening with us, it doesn't make sense for me. At the end my friends , ask few questions, and told the guy she''ll think about it, and give an answer in the next days, the guy said it wasn't for her, cause wants student fast on opportunity... what a trap!!!! I waist my evening, but not my cash, sorry for the others but next time, take your time to think about if something sounds too perfect!
