The thing that really stands out to me about trump is how often he mentions I went to an ivy league, I was top of my class, best student Vance went to an ivy league, top student, very smart guy, Ivanka ivy league she’s the smartest, she was the top of her class, smart enough to be UN ambassador. Ivy league.
Man I don’t know anyone who has actually attended an ivy league who would name drop their college to make a point about how smart they are unless it is at a job interview where those credentials naturally come up. Or even grades/class rank like Trump does.
Its almost like he knows he didn’t get an ivy league education on merit and didnt do well when he got there that he goes extra hard to maybe somewhere convince his own self that he is smart. Such people are capable of re writing their own mental reality just by sheer will and force of repetition. Such a transparently insecure and over compensating man.
God if I was 78 years old and needed to constantly tell people im really smart cuz I went to an ivy league, i would think I had lost the plot. He brings up his ivy league credentials so awkwardly too. .like it’s never something that comes up naturally in interviews..
He’s being asked about being prosecuted and he responds You know I never thought when I was top of my class at Wharton that I would be facing a prison term. Lol
Or this choice quote
“So I went to the Wharton school of finance which is considered the best business school ok. Gotta be very smart to get into that school. Very smart. (Love the extra emphasis. Lol) The rubios of the world can’t get into that school, believe me (do you believe yourself donny?!. ”
This is like a perfectly revealing line. In just a few words, Donald literally outed himself. I would almost feel sorry for him, for being so insecure about his intelligence if i didn’t find him so bottom of the earth despicable.
Also has anyone ever heard Hilary mention Yale, Obama Harvard, pete buttigeg Harvard and Oxford or even freaking Ted Cruz Princeton? Hell even Vance doesn’t bring up his time at Harvard. Trump just wants to say it enough so he can believe his own lies..what a pathetic way to live. Talk about stolen achievement. Undeserved pride. I just want harris to bring this point up somewhere, just find a way to insert it. There is clear evidence now about donny’s academic performance or lack thereof and lies around it. Mainly i want harris and walz to fight a little dirtier, go a little low.
Im glad that Wharton doesn’t fuck with him. Unlike Harvard which proudly publicizes to this day its association with obama..God that must make Trump seethe.
And in 2016, more than 2000 Wharton alums condemned him in an open letter.
He’s a perpetual bankrupter. He’s a perpetual con man.

They probably should have done that when he was younger.

To be fair, it made him and his billionaire oligarch buddies even richer.

Most smart people seem to think they’re dumb. Because they realise “the more you learn in life, the more you realise how little you do know.”

What I find funny is that the Clingstone House in Rhode Island was in the Wharton family for years, as a vacation home, had a bunch of anti-Trump signs and Black Lives Matter signs on it, along with Biden/Harris signs. I don’t think it’s owned by them anymore, but that house will always be associated with the Wharton family.

Can’t it only be your alma mater if you truly graduated?

Wait tRump actually earned a degree somewhere.
Oh, wait he bought it, or at least the grades.

That’s harsh when even Trump University says you don’t know what you’re talking about.

Good lord, I hate Trump as much as most rational people do, but this is silly. That was *decades* ago. That doesn’t mean someone hasn’t had time to improve.
Now, obviously in this case, Trump hasn’t improved. He’s always been horrible with economics and has only survived by grifting his way through life. But holy hell, let’s focus on his *current* failings, of which there are no shortage. Articles like this reek of desperation.

Rich coming from the school that let him “graduate”. Wish his transcript’s were accidentally leaked.

Oh no, now MAGA loyalists won’t attend Wharton in the future since it’s gotten “woke” and “political” now

They’re used to.

The fact that Warton allowed him to graduate says a lot about the quality of their education.

There are two types of people that get accepted into Ivy League schools – those that are highly intelligent and work very hard to earn it and those that are very wealthy and can buy admission. Most of the ultra wealthy people realize that they’re in the second camp, but Trump, apparently, does not.

Former president and toddler refusing to eat zucchini, Donald Trump.
His professor was way too generous. I suspect a small amount of grift, because if it was the right amount he would have gotten at least a D+.
Can we get his whole transcript please? And interviews with his teachers and classmates?

Link to the article from Wharton here. The video from the link only mentions it. This is the full article.
Below is their assesment of Harris’s economic plan
