Think about it. He offers to impart his wisdom, his tricks for getting rich… and, in a way, he does deliver on that promise… because mostly how he got rich, aside from getting a huge loan from his daddy… was by making empty promises and taking money from people who want to ride on his coattails. He gets his money by making other people give him their money, and the less he has to give in return, the more of a winner he is. So, he promised knowledge… a resource he is actually quite short of… and, after collecting the fees, he gave them back even less than the little bit he had.

And he is right. That is how he got rich. By taking money from people who want to be rich… not by making them rich.

In a weird, ironic, roundabout way, he did teach the students at his university a valuable lesson. The most efficient way to get rich is to screw other people out of their money. He showed them exactly how to do it.

Now, let me break down the Trump business model for you, into nice simple steps.

Say you want to open a taco stand.

First, get investors to put money into this money making opportunity, because using your own money is just stupid.

Take a bunch of the money for yourself, because you are the one setting it up.

Now, have someone else build the taco stand.

Take some money from them, because it was your idea, and take even more money because you let them put your name on the taco stand.

Have your investors rent a space, and pay all the rents and fees, because you have to spend money to make money.

Take some more of their money, because you just taught them a valuable business lesson.

Now, have the investors buy all the ingredients and pay someone to make tacos.

Take a cut of all the money for every taco sold, because your name is on the taco stand.

To finish this off in style, make sure you pay the workers the least amount you legally have to, and try using bargain taco meat and expired taco shells. When the taco stand starts losing money, claim bankruptcy so you don’t have to pay anyone back. Then, sue them for having your name on a loser taco stand.
