Feelings…Whoa, Whoa, Whoa…Feelings: Activist Judge Releases Trump University Documents. MSM Pushes “Trumped”-Up “Scandal”.

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

Trump-Tool-600-CIThe latest “scandal” that is destined to go nowhere. involving Presumptive Republican Presidential Candidate Donald J. Trump, is all over the Main Stream Media News Outlets this morning, being trumpeted with all of the effectiveness of an attempt to push Jell-O up a hill.

The Wall Street Journal reports that

Documents unsealed in a fraud lawsuit against presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump’s defunct real estate school reveal many of the aggressive sales tactics the enterprise used to persuade prospective students to spend thousands of dollars on the seminars.

Included in the batch of documents made public Tuesday by Judge Gonzalo Curiel of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California: a “sales playbook” from 2007 that offered tips to Trump University salesmen on how to “close a client.”

“You have built the Dreams,” reads the playbook. “They have seen the pain in their financial situation and have committed to make a change…They will begin to sell themselves to us; they will be climbing, ever closer to the peak of the emotional roller coaster.”

The lawsuit brought by ex-students accuses Mr. Trump and his now-defunct Trump University of tricking people into spending thousands of dollars on real estate seminars with false promises of access to Mr. Trump and his real estate secrets.

Mr. Trump has denied the allegations in the suits, saying Trump University students got their money’s worth. He said Friday that Trump University received mostly positive reviews from students, some of whose evaluations filed as exhibits have also been ordered unsealed in a redacted form. The case, which consolidated multiple complaints, is scheduled to go to trial in November.

“The court’s order unsealing documents has no bearing on the merits of Trump University’s case,” a Trump campaign spokeswoman said. “Trump University looks forward to using this evidence, along with much more, to win when the case is brought before a jury.”

The unsealed playbook outlines a “two-part” sales process in which a salesperson builds up trust with a potential customer and then passes the person to “program director” who closes the sale.

Customers were told Mr. Trump can’t personally meet with everyone who enrolls, but the company is looking for a “select group of people” that have been handpicked by a program director to receive “live, hands-on training with Donald Trump’s professional real estate instructors.”

The lawsuit alleges the instructors were merely “independently contracted high-pressure salesmen” who offered students nothing of marketable value.

The playbook features scripts that walk through what to do when a customer asks about the price: “If a client is adamant about knowing the price, simply say, ‘Our course range anywhere from $29 to $35,000,’” it says.

It also directed the sales force on what to tell people who have no credit cards or who have maxed them out. “What most people do is handle the tuition by putting it on their credit cards because it gives them the ability to make very small monthly payments and maintain low overhead to run their real estate project. Then [they] use their success in real estate to pay off the banks in a couple of months or so,” the playbook said. “However, you don’t seem to have the advantage of having that kind of leveraging power. Do you have any other seed capital or savings set aside to further invest into your real estate projects?”

Another document unsealed is a Trump University memo from 2007, a year before the financial downturn, addressed to enrollment counselors that predicts a “continuation of the very strong real estate market and the historically low level of capitalization rates that exist today.”

Judge Curiel ordered the release of the documents Friday, the same day Mr. Trump attacked the judge by name during a campaign rally in San Diego.

“I have a judge who is a hater of Donald Trump, a hater. He’s a hater. His name is Gonzalo Curiel,” Mr. Trump said Friday.

Mr. Trump asked for an investigation into Judge Curiel, though he declined to specify the reasons why. “I think Judge Curiel should be ashamed of himself,” Mr. Trump said. “Because what Judge Curiel is doing is a total disgrace.”

His lawyers haven’t filed any motions seeking to reassign the case to a different judge.

In ordering the documents made public, Judge Curiel was responding to an April request by the Washington Post for the records to be unsealed.

First off, concerning Judge Gonzalo Curiel.

Research performed by Charles C Johnson, posted at Conservative Treehouse, shows that the judge is a member of the activist organization , La Raza Lawyers of San Diego, and is an Ctivist on behalf of the rights of illegal aliens, even selecting those who were awarded scholarships.

Gosh. Certainly a judge who is a member of La Raza would not be prejudiced against a presidential candidate who has said that he is going to build a wall on our Southern border to keep illegal aliens from entering our Sovereign Nation, would he?

By the way, that was sarcasm, for any Liberals and #NeverTrumpers who might be reading this post.

Next, let’s look at the sales techniques supposedly used by the salespeople for Trump University.

It appears that the Main Stream Media is attempting to make the use of clients’ feelings in the sales process something horrible and less than ethical.

Evidently, the “Smartest People in the Room” have never read “See You at the Top”, a very popular book, written in 1975 by Zig Ziglar, The Father of Modern Sales Techniques.

In that book, he writes that

Selling is a transference of feelings.

Oh, the humanity!

Ziglar is also known for saying that

People don’t buy for logical reasons. They buy for emotional reasons.

If people bought for logical reasons, there would be no such thing as payment plans.

But, I digress…

In my current full-time job, I am a sales person. I can tell you for a fact, that salespeople use potential customers’ feelings to close a sale, everyday of the week.

There is nothing new in what Trump’s salespeople did in their efforts to make Trump University a success.

What we are witnessing is a last-ditch effort to destroy Donald J. Trump and his Presidential Candidate…by any means necessary.

Liberals are in an all-out panic mode.

The Trump Train is rolling right along, gaining momentum as we get closer to November.

Meanwhile, the two remaining Democrat Candidates have been marginalized by their own failed political ideology, which only appeals to a minority of Americans.

With the efforts of the #NeverTrumpers to derail his Presidential Campaign continuing to fail horribly, Democrats are consumed with desperation.

Unfortunately for them, the ineffectual help that they are presently receiving from La Raza Activist Judge Gonzalo Curiel, will not stop the Trump Train from arriving at its destination on time.

The Illegal Alien Invasion: Viva La Racists! ….err…Raza!

On By kingsjesterIn Politics2 Comments
illegalimmigrant VALa Raza has now positi0ned itself as the arbitrator of Right and Wrong, as unaccompanied minors continue to stream across our Southern Border.
Who is “La Raza”? I’m glad you asked.
From David Horowitz’s discoverthenetworks.org…
With more than 300 affiliate organizations in 41 U.S. states, the National Council of La Raza (NCLR) is currently the largest national Hispanic civil-rights and advocacy organization in America. It is also one of the most influential, as reflected in the fact that NCLR representatives have been called to testify at Congressional hearings more than 100 times since the 1970s.[1]NCLR’s roots can be traced back to the early 1960s, when a group of young Mexican Americans in Washington, DC decided to form a coordinating body to bring existing Hispanic groups—which were generally small and isolated—together into a single united front, which they called the National Organization for Mexican American Services (NOMAS). Soon thereafter, NOMAS presented a funding proposal to the Ford Foundation, which in turn issued a large grant to finance a major, first-of-its-kind UCLA study of Mexican Americans and the major issues they faced.

Before long, the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights began to hold a series of influential hearings on the status of Mexican Americans and, later, other Latino groups residing in the United States. In addition, the Ford Foundation initiated a second (though less academic) investigation of the same subject. To carry out that study, Ford hired three Mexican Americans—Dr. Julian Samora (a community activist who helped pioneer the field of Latino Studies; Dr. Ernesto Galarza (a professor who was widely considered “the dean of Chicano activism”); and Herman Gallegos (a San Francisco-based community organizer who had previously worked with his mentor, Saul Alinsky, to establish a Mexican-American political action group.[2] These three men traveled throughout the Southwest to meet with other Hispanic activists vis a vis policies and programs that could be developed to help Mexican Americans. These consultations resulted in the publication of two reports showing that Mexican Americans “faced numerous obstacles, especially with respect to poverty”; needed “more local, grassroots programmatic and advocacy organizations”; and could benefit from a sustained “national advocacy” campaign on their behalf.

To address these issues, Galarza, Samora, and Gallegos collaborated to co-found the Southwest Council of La Raza (SWCLR)—NCLR’s predecessor—in Phoenix, Arizona in February 1968. SWCLR’s major funding was provided by the Ford Foundation, the National Council of Churches, and the United Auto Workers union. Gallegos became SWCLR’s first executive director, while Galarza served as a consultant to the nascent organization. In the summer of 1968, SWCLR began to help establish and support barrio (community) groups committed to “promoting empowerment, voter registration, leadership development, and other forms of advocacy.”

At the end of 1972, SWCLR became a national organization and changed its name to the National Council of La Raza (NCLR, often simply called “La Raza”) “to reflect its commitment to represent and serve all Mexican Americans in all parts of the country.” The following year, the group relocated its headquarters from Phoenix to Washington, DC. Thanks in large measure to continued support from the Ford Foudation (totaling approximately $40 million in grants over the next four decades), NCLR would grow into a behemoth of the left-wing “civil rights” and “social justice” establishment.

Janet Murguia, CEO of La Raza, spoke at the 2014 NCLR Annual Conference Monday Luncheon, held in the Los Angeles Convention Center on July 21, 2014. During her speech, she remarked,
In particular, I have been very moved by the many demonstrations of support for the children atthe border from our speakers and our attendees.Those of you who participated in the mass at the cathedral yesterday had to be in awe of the hundreds of people praying for these young children in need.Unfortunately, some of my fellow Americans have had a different response.
Even people who disagree with us on immigration should be troubled by the reaction to just50,000 little kids simply seeking refuge. From the hyper media coverage to protesters carrying semiautomatic rifles challenging a youth shelter, the plight of these child refugees has sadly brought out the worst in a lot of people.I was sickened by the sight of angry protesters this month in Murrieta, California,blocking busloads of refugee children and shouting “Go back to where you come from,” and “No illegals.” But when they cloaked their hatred in patriotism,shouting “USA, USA” again and again, it made me angry. In fact, I was outraged.
There is nothing more un-American than denying compassion and decency towards a group of young children in need. There is nothing more un-American than deliberately frightening an already traumatized group of kids, some still in diapers. There is nothing more un-American than a mob taking the law into their own hands and preventing authorities from doing their job,processing these refugees.
Uh huh. Now, back to reality, with some help from nationalreview.com…
Teenage criminals and gang members from Central America have been using “a loophole” to stay in the country, border agent Chris Cabrera revealed. Under current policy, unaccompanied minors are allowed to stay in the country if they have family in the United States and say they have none in their home country, regardless of their background.“Even if he is a confirmed gang member, a confirmed criminal, even by self-admission, we for some reason don’t send them back to their home country — we release them into our country,” Cabrera said.

Minors usually end up staying in the U.S. “nine times out of ten,” he added.

As a result, Cabrera said “morale is at an all-time low right now” because agents are “not allowed to do the job that they were hired to do.”

Cabrera was reacting to a recent video of a Border Patrol agent lamenting that citizenship now seems to be irrelevant consideration at U.S. border crossings.

So these “young children”, whom Senora Murguia was speaking about, are in reality, teenage gang bangers?
This is in no way a human rights issue, Senora. Freedom is God-given, and with freedom comes responsibility. With citizenship comes responsibility, like paying taxes and making your own way.My concerns about “Amnesty”, can be divided into three bullet points.

1. Patriotism – Will these new “citizens” be willing to fly our flag above theirs? Will they be willing, if called upon, to serve in our Armed Forces, at home or abroad? Will they love this country, more than the one they left?

2. Loyalty – When these “new Americans” achieve the right to vote, are they all going to vote Democrat, so that they can receive more FREE STUFF? Is the Republican Party shooting themselves in both feet by pushing an outcome which will simply add new Democratic Voters? As I asked in the first point, will they honestly embrace our sovereign nation as their new home? Or, will they remain loyal to Mexico?

3.  Immigration – Are we rewarding illegal behavior, while at the same time, insulting all of the brave souls who have come here legally, seeking a better life for themselves and their families?

A wide-open Southern Border is as big a threat to the sovereignty of the United States as anything that our enemies can throw at us right now. All of OUR SERVANTS, up on Capitol HIll, need to quit playing political games. The safety of America is at stake . SECURE THE BORDER NOW.
