  the Donald

  Trump claims to have not filed bankruptcy. While he is technically accurate - he has not filed for personal bankruptcy - he's misleading. We all know his casinos twice filed for the big B.
  
  Regarding the seminar, the clues are in the details. First, you're not going to cover that topic in a day, let alone 2 hours. Second, you're not going to get 2 hours of a billionaire's time for free unless you happen to be close personal friends, or s/he's doing business with you.
  
  I don't care how wealthy Donald is on paper. The day I take business advice from a guy who steps on everyone to get to the top, is the day I throw myself in front of a speeding bus.

  Move On - Change Won't Happen

  Once you realize what is really going on you know immediately waht type of people you are dealing with. They are never really going to change and you will be forever associated with the bait-and-switch. The long-term damage to your reputation will far outweigh the short-term profits... unless you want to be known as the person who such bait-and-switch companies can count on.

  RE: Poll: A Trump-Style Pitch

  I think someone like Donald Trump has no patience for another individuals opinion on ethical matters, however, it would be one's responsibility to relay an alternative to a bait and switch scheme. If he was not responsive one probably would not have to move on them self, he would most likely make such a request/ suggestion to them. He would also probably tell such a person that he did not get where he is today by listening to little people.

  It probably isn't feasible to suggest another strategy if the tactic was developed to intentionally mislead but one's integrity is important to protect. Find something else...........
