'Grab that record': How Trump's high school transcript was hidden
In 2011, days after Donald Trump challenged President Barack Obama to show his records to prove that he hadnt been a terrible student, the headmaster at New York Military Academy got an order from his boss: Find Trumps academic records and help bury them.
The superintendent of the private school came to me in a panic because he had been accosted by prominent, wealthy alumni of the school who were Mr. Trumps friends and who wanted to keep his records secret, recalled Evan Jones, the headmaster at the time. He said, You need to go grab that record and deliver it to me because I need to deliver it to them.
The superintendent, Jeffrey Coverdale, confirmed Monday that members of the schools board of trustees initially wanted him to hand over Trumps records to them, but Coverdale said he refused.
I was given directives, part of which I could follow but part of which I could not, and that was handing them over to the trustees, he said. I moved them elsewhere on campus where they could not be released. Its the only time I ever moved an alumnuss records.

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

... and yes, he was too stupid to get accepted if he had applied.
But he already had a job and a career lined up, working for his daddy. An MBA wouldn't have been any use to Chump.

He said, not mentioning any names, bun he said that in three years, Trump's highest grade was a "D".
See hoe easy that is?
