A Wharton professor called trump the dumbest goddamned student he ever had the displeasure of meeting.

Wed Dec 25, 2019, 07:07 PM

And if you assumed his (Wharton) degree was an MBA, you’d be wrong. Trump holds a bachelor of science degree in economics from Wharton, earned after transferring in as a junior from Fordham University. Several early Trump profiles, including a 1973 New York Times piece, stated that he graduated first in his class at Wharton, but that has since been disputed. A 1968 commencement program does not list his name among students who graduated with honors.


Here's a very interesting read from 2016:

was likely because UPenn was hoping for a nice fat donation check from Freddy Trump

Trump was at Fordham - a pretty good university - out of high school, but nowhere near as competitive to get into as Penn.

Current US News rankings for National Universities

Penn - tied for #6, average SAT score 1500
Fordham - tied for #74, average SAT 1346 (probably much lower in Trump's Day - maybe by 100-200 or so points?)

A young scientific genius, he was on the threshold of a cure for his buddy Superboy's kryptonite allergy, when Superboy accidentally destroyed Lex's lab trying to save his life. Lex lost his hair in the accident, and he became Superboy's worn enemy for the rest of his life.

Lex Luthor got "dumbed down" over the years. ALL DC characters got "dumbed down" to a certain extent, so as not to alienate decreasingly literate comic book purchasers.

-Washington Post Fact Checker (as of 12/16/2019): President Trump has made 15,413 false or misleading claims over 1,055 days. Correcting evidence? NONE.

I was in a phd program more exclusive than Warton Business school, and I have never assumed an IQ in that range. I think the same story (if it is the same one I read, and discounted/laughed at) ranked multiple presidents IQs, and Obama's was lower (despite Harvard Law school admission, and despite his rising to the prestigious editor role of Harvard Law Review.

https://www.nytimes.com/1990/02/06/us/first-black-elected-to-head-harvard-s-law-review.html

The Harvard Law Review, generally considered the most prestigious in the country, elected the first black president in its 104-year history today. The job is considered the highest student position at Harvard Law School.

The new president of the Review is Barack Obama, a 28-year-old graduate of Columbia University who spent four years heading a community development program for poor blacks on Chicago's South Side before enrolling in law school.


But sure - just getting admitted to U Penn (as an undergraduate transfer student) = a higher IQ. /s

According to the website, which is called IQ-Test.net, the main evidence for Trump’s massive IQ is the mere fact that he got admitted to the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.

“Mr Trump was a student at Wharton when it was possible to derive and (sic) accurate IQ test scores from known SAT scores,” the website claims. “Given the usual requirements for admission to a top school like Wharton. I estimate that Mr. Trump has a 156 IQ at the minimum.”
