Trump claim of being 'first in his class' at Wharton was another lie: report
Throughout his campaign and nascent presidency, Donald Trump has maintained that he is a very smart guy who graduated from Pennsylvania Universitys Wharton School of Business at the top of his class.
However, according to a Thursday report from The Daily Pennsylvanian, academic records and the recollections of his classmates dont line up with Trumps claims including a 1984 boast to the New York Times that he graduated first in his class.
Penn records and Trumps classmates dispute this claim, wrote the Pennsylvanians Alex Rabin and Rebecca Tan. In 1968, The Daily Pennsylvanian published a list of the 56 students who were on the Wharton Deans List that year Trumps name is not among them.
I recognize virtually all the names on that list, said 1968 Wharton graduate Stephen Foxman to the DP, and Trump just wasnt one of them.
