The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania Should Be Embarrassed!

[LakeVermilion]

Before his presidency, I found Trump to be mildly amusing. I assumed that he had this schtick that was a play to his audiences. But after 9 months of his presence in the White House, he has demonstrated himself to be uneducated, a boor, a sexual predator and an all around buffoon.

Shame on the Wharton School and the University of Pennsylvania for granting a bachelor's degree to this ignoramus. Obviously his degree was based on his father's gift to the school. If there ever was a case for rescinding a diploma, Trump is the number one candidate.

(I had to get that off my mind)

1. More likely at the bottom of the class with daddy's help.

A 1968 commencement program shared Friday by the Daily Pennsylvanian backs that up. It shows that Trump graduated from the undergraduate school of finance and commerce, but he did not graduate at the top of his class or with honors.

2. I thought he attended Wharton graduate school but did not finish his MBA.

4. He throws "Wharton" around precisely so people will think of the mba program

But he was never in the MBA program

3. He did not get a degree from Wharton!

His father bought his way in to Penn after he finished 2 years at Fordham in NY. While at Penn, which is an embarrassment in and of itself, he took a couple of classes at Wharton (as did my own father), but Trump was never accepted into the Wharton school nor did he graduate from the Wharton school. EVERYTHING IS A LIE. Melania never went to college either. A LIE.

Lawrence O'Donnell has covered this at length on his show months ago and has never rebutted his story. In addition, people could only find one person who even remembers him attending Penn, so maybe he had a paid surrogate student going for him, like the Walton family (Walmart) did for their granddaughter at Stanford. Their granddaughter was eventually exposed and her degree was stripped from her.

5. IIRC, there was a letter from Wharton alumni that basically disowned him...

6. why? Biz schools all teach the same bottom line crap

Does a fine for corruption cost less than the profit made? By all means break the law. Ethics are scoffed at in big business nowadays and really for more than a generation now.
