Ownership? It is unclear exactly which of the cars, including this Rolls Royce, which Harrison poses with on social media are his. However his allegiance to Trump is: he calls Trump University the best thing he has done
James A Harris, a self described 'Moneymotivator'
He's still selling 'get-rich-quick' schemes, promising he can make you rich if you just hand over $35,000
One of the main speakers at Trump University has brazenly carried on selling dubious get rich quick schemes even after the controversial college shut down.
Convicted felon James A. Harris is hawking real estate coaching sessions that appear near identical to those he ran when working for the leading Presidential candidate.
The premium packages are even exactly the same price as the $34,995 VIP sessions that were sold at Trump University.
On one of his Facebook pages Harris prominently features a quote from crooked financier Jordan Belfort - the inspiration for the film The Wolf of Wall St.
And despite the controversy over Trump University, Harris still brags about his links to the controversial institution and says that his time there is his 'biggest claim to fame'.
Trump University ran between 2005 and 2010 until it was shut down amid multiple investigations by state attorneys general.
Trump was also hit with a lawsuit from around 7,000 customers who claimed they had been conned into paying between $1,495 to $34,995 for courses which were worthless.
Instead of being told how to become millionaires they were told to increase their credit limits so they could buy more expensive courses, the lawsuit alleged.
You can be like me: The message Harris pushes on social media is that he is rich - but he does not mention that he is a convicted felon

Trump's University has now become a major issue in his campaign to become President and his rival Marco Rubio has said that it shows he is a 'conman' and a 'fraud'.
Trump has insisted that he does not want to settle the lawsuit because he can win it easily.
But back in the 2000s he insisted that Trump University was full of 'terrific people' and that he hand-picked what he called 'terrific brains' to run the institution.
The lawsuit has disputed that and said that the speakers had very little or no experience at all in real estate.
Among them was James Aubrey Harris Jr, 47, who goes by a number of aliases including Jimmy Harrison and James Harrison.
By the time he was hired by Trump University in 2008 he already had a conviction for aggravated assault, the Daily Beast reported.
According to court records he threatened to kill his ex-wife and was so unstable that when he went to pick up his children one day at school it went into 'lockdown'.
New day, new car: On Twitter Harris describes himself as 'Moneymotivator' and his latest guise is 'Uncle Jim', a financial guru who wants to impart his knowledge to the public.
Harris grew up in Pompton Plains, New Jersey and now says he lives in Atlanta, Georgia, though on social media he also claims to live in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico.
Pictures on one of his multiple Facebook pages - including Facebook.com/mynewliferocks - are designed to make it seem like he has a jet-set lifestyle.
