2011: While Trump suggested that Obama wasn’t born in the US, he also argued that maybe Obama wasn’t a good enough student to have gotten into Columbia or Harvard Law School, and demanded Obama release his university transcripts. Trump claimed, “I heard he was a terrible student. Terrible. How does a bad student go to Columbia and then to Harvard?”

YEAH and HOW DID HE GRADUATE MAGNA CUM LAUDE from HARVARD? He wasn't rich, so he didn't BUY that prestige.

(He did poorly before Harvard as he was partying and admitted that.)

Law school was another story for Obama. He graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law School (the second highest honor available) in 1991. He also was the first black president of the Harvard Law Review, a very prestigious honor.


HOWEVER, if you listened to any words Obama uttered during his Presidency, you hear an adult who has thoughtfully considered what he might say before hand.

AND a personal barometer of intelligence of mine:

Someone who speaks in full sentences not sentences full of words is another indicator of someone who paid attention in class. Just a personal rule of thumb.
