Professor: Trump Was the Dumbest Goddamn Student I Ever Had

Wharton Professor: “Trump Was the Dumbest Goddamn Student I Ever Had”
By Brian Tyler Cohen -- October 13, 2017

... one of Trump’s former professor’s words from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business and Finance has come back to haunt him.

The late Professor William T. Kelley, who taught marketing at Wharton for 31 years and had Trump in his classroom, said, “Donald Trump was the dumbest goddamn student I ever had,” in a conversation with his close friend Frank DiPrima.

Kelley made the comment while Trump was already a public figure, but had not yet ventured into politics.

..............

Unlike the current President, Professor Kelley was no moron. Per Mr. DiPrima, “Bill Kelley was one smart cookie. His text book cited above .... was standard in his time in the then-new field of ‘marketing intelligence’ and the necessity of using computers and data bases to manage it.”

It seems that our know-it-all President hasn’t changed much in the last 50 years ..............

Trump was too stupid to get into the graduate school program at Wharton. In addition, trump did not graduate with honors. http://fortune.com/2015/08/14/donald-trump-wharton/

His school posted his graduate program that shows that he did not graduate with honor shttp://www.pennlive.com/news/2017/02/what_is_trumps_real_record_at.html
