Will Trump be Dean of mean?

Get ready for Dean Donald to utter the words, "You're graduated!"

And maybe Prof. Omarosa will be soon stepping up to the blackboard, too.

Donald Trump has applied for a trademark for the name Trump University, meaning the master of self-promotion could soon be molding the minds of future moguls.

The proposal from the star of TV's "The Apprentice" didn't say much about the planned institution of higher learning, but apparently it won't compete with Harvard or Columbia for the best and brightest.

Trump says that the college will conduct only "online instruction in the fields of business and real estate."

Trump's lawyer filed a three-page application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for the planned Trump U. on Aug. 4 and paid a $335 fee - small change for a billionaire.

The planned online college, which was first reported on The Smoking Gun Web site, is just the latest venture for The Donald.

He recently announced plans to launch his own men's clothing line and reintroduced his self-titled board game.

His Trump World magazine, which promises a peek into the luxe life of the rich and famous, debuts next month with an initial press run of 200,000.

And of course he is gearing up to star in another season of the wildly popular NBC reality show, "The Apprentice," in which he ushers out failing contestants with the signature phrase, "You're fired."

Unfortunately for the mega developer, not all of his empire is doing as well.

His Atlantic City casinos are headed for bankruptcy amid big debt and stiff competition from newer, slicker outfits.

Will it be done by 2007, and where is it (possibly New York).

I wanna apply now!!!

For now it says that it would only be an online university.

Those are not very effective. Its sad to hear.

I'd rather study at Nakheel or Emaar university in Dubai. Trump's a small-time developer compared to them!

Go Lakehead!

-You've never heard of it, eh? It's a small local one in Thunder Bay, Canada. Is there anything he won't put money into? "Thrump International University and Casino" Hey, it could happen! Does anyone have the "Trumped" segment on their local radio stations? It's got Donald Trump talking about things, like Genital Peircing, and Oprah Winfry. It's actually pretty good, for a 2 minute segment.

That is very true, but who has a famous personality.

Nakheel and Emaar are both, I believe, owned and run by Dubai royalty. I'm sure they are known personalities in Dubai, but probably not so well known as Trump. Still, I'd rather be their "apprentice." The big wigs would be working on the major project, such as the Palm Islands, and the apprentice would be working on the smaller projects, like Burj Dubai!

They're probably well known in that part of the world, as Trump is well known in this part of the world. Nakheel and Emaar are Dubais version of Donald Trump. Probably not as cool, though.

-Yes, he's cool. You should hear his daily radio segment!

Nakheel and Emaat are big, but why not get bigger? If Sun Hung Kai Properties were to open a university, it would be the place to be. Walter, Thomas & Raymond Kwok are the 22nd richest people in the world and got all their fortune from the Hong Kong based real-estate developer company, Sun Hung Kai Properties, and other side subsidiaries.

Walter, Thomas & Raymond Kwok's net worth is 11.4 billion and rising. Donald Trump's net worth is 2.5 billion.

I would learn from the more sucessful.

It's very effective!

According to Forbes Magazine,
"Internet education is the biggest emerging trend of the decade... "Webucation" is exploding in America and all over the world!" When you combine that with the 64 billion dollar per year personal development industry, that equals huge opportunity.

I should know, I'm a online student of two of these great companies.





==============

I will go there. Trump has been my idle since I was 4.lol. Im not kidding

Trump? better "The University of the King Juan Carlos" in Madrid than a "You're fired" personality.

Lol...what?

Trump is richer than King Juan Carlos. Trump also actually made the money he has.
