Just what kind of student was Donald Trump?
He claims President Obama was a "terrible" student, but Trump's own academic history raises serious questions
By Justin Elliott

Donald Trump has been aggressively questioning Barack Obama's academic record, suggesting that the president was a "terrible student" who did not deserve to get in to Columbia University and Harvard Law School. While Trump has no evidence to back up these claims, there are strong indications that Trump has repeatedly inflated his own academic record -- and that he used family connections to gain admission to the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.

"I heard (Obama) was a terrible student, terrible. How does a bad student go to Columbia and then to Harvard?" Trump asked in an interview last month. "I'm thinking about it, I'm certainly looking into it. Let him show his records."

But an examination of Trump's own academic record yields a distinctly unflattering picture of the celebrity businessman. Among other things, Trump has allowed the media to report for years that he graduated first in his class at Wharton, despite strong evidence that this is not true and indications that he was, in fact, an undistinguished student.

Trump did not go to Wharton's prestigious M.B.A. program. Rather, he received an undergraduate degree offered by Wharton to University of Pennsylvania students. And Trump didn't attend Wharton for a full four years. Instead, he transferred there after spending his first two undergraduate years at Fordham, the Jesuit university in the Bronx.

1. Everything I heard said that Obama was a brilliant student.

So I'm wonder what The Duh-nold's sources are.

Any, OBama already has the job, so it is a bit late to be thinking of interview questions.

2. Or Bush.
