Trump gives “Certificate of Deception” from now-defunct Trump University

trump-universityTexas Sen. Ted Cruz hammered Donald Trump, his top rival for the GOP presidential nomination, on Thursday, tweeting out what he called a “Certificate of Deception” for Trump’s now-defunct Trump University.

Trump University was actually a series of seminars started a decade ago that was touted by Trump as a way to learn his secrets to investing in real estate.

It is currently the subject of a fraud lawsuit from dissatisfied attendees, but Trump notes that the program had a 98 percent approval rating from students and had an “A” rating from the Better Business Bureau.

But 2012 nominee Mitt Romney slammed Trump University Thursday morning in a list of what he described as Trump’s business failures, and Cruz and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio have been using it to criticize Trump on the campaign trail.

Clicking on a link in Cruz’s tweet takes you to a page on his campaign website that will print your name on the certificate — if you provide your name and email address.

Of course, the gimmick can backfire, especially when someone decides to type in Cruz’s own name in the field.
