I watched one of his profs from college call him the dumbest student he ever had. Did he even graduate? He claims he graduated from Wharton Business college but that's a lie, he never went there, he went to undergraduate school.

My letter is on tariffs, and lunkhead thought the other country paid the penalty... "Tariffs are Great" he said....when it is WE who will pay the tariffs..gas is set to polevault in March....and did you know that 98% of our shoes are made abroad...

If President Kleinschwanz hadn't graduated from Wharton, their lawyers would have put a stop to that shit in a right hurry. What he DIDN'T do is graduate from their MBA program. Apparently he needed to get out there and start his career as an evil landlord before he had time to go to MBA school.

He has a bachelors in economics. Of course, his idiotic trade war shows that his knowledge of economics is nil.

and that our first non-white president is somehow illegitimate and lying about his birth. It's pure racism and some of us deal with this our whole lives.

When Trump started talking that nonsense I had no idea that he would even think of running for president. Now I feel foolish that I didn't see that as a possible explanation for his strange obsession with Obama. He was putting all racists on notice that he was on their side.

but it's OK since they're white.

Trump was up to his old tricks during the 2016 campaign trying to disqualify Ted Cruz for being born in Canada.

There is no problem with Obama being a natural born US citizen either, he's just too black for some racists. I face the exact same problem where people refuse to believe I'm even a US citizen when applying for jobs. I was born in NYC in the "Americans are diverse not just white" zone.

Then reversed course in2016.

The BC was never hidden. The short form released in2008 was a perfectly legal document.

And whatever happened to Donnie's imaginary Hawaiian investigators and the "unbelievable" evidence they found that he was going to "reveal soon" in 2011.

In all of his fawning campaign interviews and call-ins with folks like Joe Scarborough, Halperinand Baba Wawa, Trump was never once asked about that lie, which he used to enter the political arena

Wouldn't it be good to turn the tables and for someone (Avenatti would be perfect) to cast the same type of doubt on Trump by publicizing the fact that even before taking office he was likely carrying on the family's tradition of bilking the government whenever and however possible?
We should also see the Fordham U and U of Penn (2 years undergrad) transcripts as well as documents about how much Fred Trump donated to the University of Pennsylvania just before Trump was admitted.
