Trump claim of being 'first in his class' at Wharton was another lie: report

[DonViejo]

Throughout his campaign and nascent presidency, Donald Trump has maintained that he is “a very smart guy” who graduated from Pennsylvania University’s 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 don’t line up with Trump’s claims — including a 1984 boast to the New York Times that he graduated “first in his class.”

“Penn records and Trump’s classmates dispute this claim,” wrote the Pennsylvanian’s Alex Rabin and Rebecca Tan. “In 1968, The Daily Pennsylvanian published a list of the 56 students who were on the Wharton Dean’s List that year — Trump’s 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 wasn’t one of them.”

1. A lifelong pathological liar.

Well, at 70 we can expect a "pivot"?

[Arkansas Granny]

2. He's been proven to lie about everything else, I don't know why anyone would expect

this to be any different. It's like he has an aversion to telling the truth.

3. He didn't go to the Wharton School of Business at all,

much less having 'first in class' status. He took some courses from them.

4. he was in the wharton school (then "of finance and commerce")

but in the obscure undergraduate program, not the much more famous mba program.

5. Exactly. He doesn't have an MBA. He just has a BS. Literally. nt

6. well in that sense he probably was first in his class, lol

7. Thanks. That's what I was trying to say.

He's a bullshit artist from start to finish.
