A disco ball and karaoke machine were the highlights of the Trump University 10 Year Reunion party thrown in the basement of the Livingston, New Jersey home of Mrs. Sheila Pressman, the mother of the University’s class of 2006 Valedictorian Mark Pressman.
Mark Pressman, 42, part-time telemarketer and Valedictorian Trump University’s class of 2006 was happy to hold the Universities reunion. Classmate Thomas McKinley said, “he very generous with the pizza bites, Doritos, and Mountain Dew. And it was just fun to catch up and complain about the school. It reminded me of a high school weekend party, but we are in our 40s now.
“We look up to Thomas. He was the most successful person in our class and he is great at selling diet weight-loss pills at his part-time telemarketing gig. He said he’s almost done with paying off his student loans.”
The party, which was originally planned for the ballroom at the Meadowlands Hilton Hotel but was quickly canceled because of spite from the class action lawsuit against Trump University. Trump said in an email fourth months ago, “You think I’m paying for that shit? I never promised anything about a school reunion; now you’re just making stuff up.”
Susan Dorph, another classmate has had luck selling timeshares to old people, but sales are few and far between, but she is the closest alumni actually to work in the real estate industry. Except for Jason Hughes, he is employed at the Trump Tower in Chicago as part of the custodial crew. “It’s pretty cool. I pick up trash, wash windows, and mop up vomit by drunk customers at the rooftop bar.
“They keep telling me it’s a great way to move up the Trump ladder, but I don’t know, been in the same position since 2008. I’m starting to think this was a scam. Most of my paycheck goes back to paying Trump, so it’s like working for him for free. My classmates tell me it’s a scam but I know in a few years I could be the head of custodial resources. I was promised that back in 2010, but then the real estate market was down so I understand it could take longer now. But one day, one day I’ll be king of the mops in this joint.
“I don’t know if sixty grand was worth it to use a mop all day, but it’s all about paying your dues, and I get that.”
While many would expect something as great as Trump University would hold their class reunion at somewhere grand, filled with multi-millionaires by now, but a basement in North Jersey is the reality.
