Trumps latest scam....

.... you thought tRump U was bad.... now we have the “Trump Leadership Initiative (TLI) Fellowship Program” ! Watch out suckers, er, i mean supporters - he's going to vacuum up your bank accounts !!


On Tuesday, the campaign sent an email to supporters in California inviting them to a July 13 training session for the “Trump Leadership Initiative (TLI) Fellowship Program” in the city of Stanton, in Orange County.

“TLI Fellows are the backbone of the Trump strategy to launch the largest, earliest, and most diverse ground operation in California history,” the email states. “Fellows will be trained and experienced in grassroots organizing, field operations, cutting-edge campaign technology, messaging & communications, and engaging in voter contact.”

.....But in a sign of the Trump campaign’s reliance on the Republican National Committee for the nuts and bolts of its campaign, the email directs supporters to an Eventbrite page promoting a training session for the Republican Leadership Institute, the party’s existing program. The page does not mention Trump, suggesting that rather than being run by the campaign, the Trump fellowship is an arrangement akin to the businessman’s commercial licensing deals, in which he puts his name on services administered by third parties.

The email and the Eventbrite page do not specify whether Trump campaign staffers will participate in the event or provide Trump fellows with training distinct from that given to Republican fellows.

Spokeswomen for Trump and the RNC did not immediately respond to requests for additional information about the event.
