If it was anyone else, they'd not only be no longer be in office as a result of running a scam like that, they'd be sitting in a prison cell.
Everything he says to market this scam in this commercial is a confirmed lie

The whole thing --from Trump, to those who ran the "university," to the "students" -- reeks of greed.
