I seriously doubt Trump's thinking goes anything like all you speculated. But, I am willing to think about it some more.

Some of my grad school professors also taught at Wharton. I have some idea what his thought process may be.

Do us all a favor, dear don-o, since he stands a chance of getting the nom, and go to his Trump Organization web site and take a good look at what he has accomplished. Then, go to the Wharton School of Finance web site and see what it is that he had to study to graduate from there. Then you may have some credibility in launching your opinions. But without actually having any idea how much he knows and has done, al you are doing is blowing smoke.

Trump's field of study was not mine so I'm not claiming to be an expert here and will accept corrections from more expert Freepers. There usually are some lurking around.

My imperfect understanding is that an MBA from Wharton is considered something of a gold standard. However, Trump doesn't have an MBA from Wharton and never attempted to get one. Rather he had two years undergrad at Fordham then transferred to Penn and finished with a BA or BS in Econ from the Wharton there. I've seen no mention of he receiving any academic honors. I presume that is considered 'good' but shouldn't get the iconic cred of a MBA there. And it is conceivable that the undergrad econ programs there aren't quite as top ranked as the grad ones. Certainly in other fields and other schools grad school and undergrad quality don't show exact correlation. I don't know whether he had any further 'formal' education elsewhere. He certainly had a solid education, but to claim, metaphorically, it was a 'solid gold' one or perhaps even a 'gold plated' one may be overstating things somewhat.

There certainly would be nothing wrong with having an econ major for President. Reagan was one! And Trump's successes in the real business world since his school days speak for themselves.

1 Timothy 6:10

For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
