Cheater: Trump never took his SAT's....paid someone to take the test for him.

Cheating on a College Entrance Test

As a high school student in Queens, Ms. Trump writes, Donald Trump paid someone to take a precollegiate test, the SAT, on his behalf. The high score the proxy earned for him, Ms. Trump adds, helped the young Mr. Trump to later gain admittance as an undergraduate to the University of Pennsylvania’s prestigious Wharton business school.

Mr. Trump has often boasted about attending Wharton, which he has referred to as “the best school in the world” and “super genius stuff.”

“No Principles,” a Sister Says

Even at the start of Mr. Trump’s campaign, his sister, Maryanne Trump Barry, a retired federal appeals court judge, had deep reservations about his fitness for office, Ms. Trump writes.

“He’s a clown — this will never happen,” she quotes her aunt as saying during one of their regular lunches in 2015, just after Mr. Trump announced that he was running for president.

Maryanne Trump was particularly baffled by support for her brother among evangelical Christians, according to the book.

“The only time Donald went to church was when the cameras were there,” Ms. Trump quotes her aunt as saying. “It’s mind boggling. But that’s all about his base. He has no principles. None!”

No wonder the Republicans worship him. He is a complete embodiment of Republican values.

He's a genius, dontchknow. Lots of tweets coming to boast about his brilliance. Most containing the words "some people say" and "Sir"

A friends uncle was a MD in Europe.. To practice in the US he had to take these challenge tests called the FLEX and ECMFG. Well the good doctor thought it was beneath him to take any tests so he quite handsomely paid a whiz bang super bright med student to take the test for him. The family was "connected" so getting phony credentials was easy...
Passed with flying colors... uff..... MD...... massive denial.....

not the undergraduate program.
Still it is beyond obvious that the Co never read for a college degree.

It must be difficult for him to keep all these stories straight.

And this is why he hates the media so much.

I've always assumed he cheated extensively all the way through school like everything else. After all, with his inheritance he could afford to buy anything he wanted including academic credentials. He may have figured out at a young age that he would never have to work or learn anything because he would never need a job.

Trump should be booted too, if this is confirmed. Joe Shapiro won't say anything because he committed fraud too.


Traitor Tot got on Lori Loughlin's case for their fraud.


Oh, the Irony!
