The video lays out "three easy steps" for "being a source of Trump's wealth." 
"Step one: Sign up for Trump University," a narrator says. "Step two: Pay for Trump University at the amazing price of everything you have."
The ad cuts in quotes from news articles and former Trump University employees denouncing the program's business practices.
"Step three: There is no step three. You won't actually learn anything. It's that easy," the ad continues.
There are multiple civil lawsuits against Trump University after several students, who were charged up to $35,000 in tuition, claimed they were scammed. Trump has pointed to positive reviews by past students as a defense.
"We guarantee you'll give Trump University a glowing review," the narrator in the Clinton video says. "Because we'll make you." 

The now defunct for-profit enterprise touted the “Trump way of wealth,” hosting pricey seminars across the country that promised to teach the path to riches through real estate investments.
But the business is now the target of two class-action lawsuits, as well as legal action from the New York Attorney General, amid complaints that the program never lived up to its promises.
Jilted students and the New York attorney general allege that the program taught participants nothing and encouraged them to rack up thousands of dollars in credit card debt. Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee for president, has pushed back hard, saying the complaints about the school are without merit and attacking the credibility of the federal judge over two cases in California.
