Before his presidency, I found Trump to be mildly amusing. I assumed that he had this schtick that was a play to his audiences. But after 9 months of his presence in the White House, he has demonstrated himself to be uneducated, a boor, a sexual predator and an all around buffoon.
Shame on the Wharton School and the University of Pennsylvania for granting a bachelor's degree to this ignoramus. Obviously his degree was based on his father's gift to the school. If there ever was a case for rescinding a diploma, Trump is the number one candidate.

(10,168 posts)His father bought his way in to Penn after he finished 2 years at Fordham in NY. While at Penn, which is an embarrassment in and of itself, he took a couple of classes at Wharton (as did my own father), but Trump was never accepted into the Wharton school nor did he graduate from the Wharton school. EVERYTHING IS A LIE. Melania never went to college either. A LIE.
Lawrence O'Donnell has covered this at length on his show months ago and has never rebutted his story. In addition, people could only find one person who even remembers him attending Penn, so maybe he had a paid surrogate student going for him, like the Walton family (Walmart) did for their granddaughter at Stanford. Their granddaughter was eventually exposed and her degree was stripped from her.
