Man Pays $35,000 to Trump University: Only Gets a Picture with Him Standing Next to a Donald Trump Cutout


The American Future Fund has released three videos with former students of the now-defunct Trump University, who claimed they have been scammed by Trump when they took part in his real estate training. One man named Bob Guillo, said he paid the university $35,000, but the only thing he got out of it was a picture with him standing alongside a cutout of Donald Trump.


Two of the 60-second commercials feature Kevin Scott and Bob Guillo, men who say Trump's real-estate seminar salesmen took advantage of them.


'I was trumped by Trump,' Guillo says in one ad. 'I paid $35,000 at Trump University and all I got was a picture of myself with a cutout of Donald Trump.'


Looking into a camera lens, he says he was 'scammed because I believed in Donald Trump.'


'Please don't fall for the same line that I fell for,' Guillo says. 'He can make people believe practically anything.'



However, Trump says that this isn't accurate and refers to a glowing review written by Guillo himself. To this, Guillo responded:


But in an interview with the Daily News, Guillo, 76, claimed Trump was again misrepresenting himself — and the reviews.


"The one he is waving around with my name on it, that was from a retreat that was done in 2009, before I actually enrolled," explained Guillo, who lives in Manhasset, Long Island. "That evaluation is from a retreat where they try to get you sign up for the actual course. And I was very happy with the retreat."


After the retreat, Guillo signed up for a full course called the "Trump Gold Elite Program," putting a hefty $34,995 dent on his American Express card in the process.


Guillo said he also ended up writing positive reviews for the actual course "because the instructors were begging us for them so they could come back and teach again."


But Guillo said he knew with moments of starting the course that it was "garbage" and "a scam."
