Trump: Obama a "Terrible Student" Not Good Enough for Harvard

Manhattan real estate mogul Donald Trump suggested in an interview Monday that President Barack Obama had been a poor student who did not deserve to be admitted to the Ivy League universities he attended. Trump, who is mulling a bid for the Republican presidential nomination, offered no proof for his claim but said he would continue to press the matter as he has the legitimacy of the president's birth certificate.

"I heard he was a terrible student, terrible. How does a bad student go to Columbia and then to Harvard?" Trump said in an interview with The Associated Press. "I'm thinking about it, I'm certainly looking into it. Let him show his records."

Obama graduated from Columbia University in New York in 1983 with a degree in political science after transferring from Occidental College in California. He went on to Harvard Law School, where he graduated magna cum laude 1991 and was the first black president of the Harvard Law Review.

4. It is just another form of racism.
Obama must have gotten into those good schools through affirmative action. No black person would be worthy otherwise. Uh huh.

Where did his Trumpship go to school?

23. My first thought was that he was attacking affirmative action,
which pisses me off. Does the jackass not understand that even if affirmative action helps someone get into a university, the person still has to do the work and make the grades to graduate?

He's really beginning to get on my nerves.

25. I graduated from Harvard Law
Same class as the FLOTUS. They don't pass out magna honors like so much popcorn at the Megaplex, I can tell ya that much. You either have the numbers or you don't. And all tests are graded blind, by student ID number only.

Somebody should put the Dumpster in a round room and tell him to shit in the corner. He'd drive himself totally nuts in a matter of hours.

29. Congrats to you! Apperently The Donald didn't think this
through. No diplomas in general whether from Harvard Law School, or a state run university, are just handed out to students. Honor graduates are honor graduates, and all students must earn diplomas regardless of how a student entered a university.

33. Yes. Then he can rile up the Afterbirth Brigade.
You know...the black guy who isn't REALLY one of US...used his blackness to get into a GOOD college (while reinforcing that some of them couldn't get in because of HIM)...

it is all just a methodical whipping up the racist element. But seriously? His audience no doubt is the same caliber as Jerry Springer's audience...only with a little bit more money--but definitely just as little class.

5. It does read like it was written by The Onion. The only way it could be better
is if Trump suddenly said, "What? You believed that crap I was saying? Americans are so stupid".

But yeah, each day it gets funnier. And sadder.

Edited on Mon Apr-25-11 11:27 PM by Raine1967
All of them pulled from his ass.

Can you hear it? it's a dog whistle. Trump is blowing it. He;s slamming affirmative action. his comment is not based on truth,

Also, look up 'Strawman'. This is a TEXTBOOK example.

8. Obama: scholar graduated magna cum laude. Trump: salesman who breaks everything he touches.
Nothing to see here folks, except that the extremely stupid can buy air time and spout hot air. No competition.

10. Well, you know that diploma mill known as Harvard Law School
Shoot, they hand out magna cum laude degrees like the Easter Bunny hands out jelly beans!

God forbid anyone actually ask T Rump a question, though. Someone just correctly noted that T Rump hasn't voted in a primary election for more than two decades. T Rump's angry response? He's voted in every general election ever! Cast the biggest, most perfect votes in all of them! Yeah fine, T Rump; except we were talking about primaries.

T Rump is just another failed businessman looking for a civil service job. For some reason, he thinks he deserves to start at the top. He will go away as soon as he has to file a financial disclosure report.

I'm sorry this knucklehead is causing you such distress.

13. More Trump Race Baiting of the Teabaggers...
I'd say he's just about lowered himself to Limbaugh level... Not too much further for him to do go and he'll hopefully have destroyed his prospects for anything in the public venue, tv, politics, or otherwise.

15. Actually, considering it's Donald Trump we're talking about,
being that he resides in the gutter, and always has, this is just more of him wallowing around in the filth he's so comfortable in.

I don't know why anyone pays any attention to a man who is such a failure in his own field, someone should ask him about Atlantic City, eg, and who has zero morals when it comes to his personal relationships (can't wait to see him try to get the Fundie vote).

He has no intention of running for president, I would be willing to bet everything I have on that.

17. I always backed off the belief that a lot of the criticism of Obama was racist
I think the poorly behaved Repub bullies would attack any Dem. As for this Trump shit, it is straight racism. And I expect a lot more next year.

The sad part is that the media is supporting the racist.

20. SOP for the GOP
This is exactly what they did to Clinton, and it's why Obama has been wise to ignore Tea Bag demands for anything.

He watched, as we all did, when Tom Delay and his band of Merry Pranksters in the House demanded the Clintons cough up everything they had to prove their innocence in the White Water real estate "swindle". The White House, knowing there was no connection to Hillary, put a team together providing evidence. It turned out that this naive act Southern hospitality became a Pandora's box of neverending White House woe.

The equipment was now brought in for an open pit document mining operation. Next, the congressional house dicks looked to Clinton's time as Arkansas governor and demanded proof that Bill didn't order State Troopers to pull over young ladies and bring them back to the limo for some back seat sex in what they thilled to label "Troopergate". If the Clintons balked after cooperating before, they would question "what is hiding on this one"? He was of course soon cleared of the spurious charge as troopers denied any such thing occured.

The document team at the White House grew as Republicans, smelling blood in the water and feeling they had a no-limit fishing license, went on a spree. They demanded everything from both Bill and Hill's college records, medical records, and even all his records as governor. Then, millions of dollars later, they heard from a woman who knew someone with a stained blue dress. The ensuing Republican feeding frenzy assured that no future president will ever aknowlege a demand for anything from the opposing party again.
