Trump transferred into Penn. He wasn’t admitted as a freshman. Plus, elite university admissions weren’t nearly as competitive in the 1960s as they are now.
Well, that is all relative. PENN was not a JUCO back in the late 60’s/early 70’s either. My guess is it was at that time, a top business school then as well.
And the admissions officer who interviewed Trump was a classmate of Trump’s older brother.
More applicants is a particular kind of competitiveness, but it doesn't mean that being admitted in the 60s was easier. Today, law schools tend to graduate everyone too. Back in the early 60s, a surprisingly small percentage of us actually finished. Most washed out after first year.
He is making fools of not only his competition, but also the Ben Shapiros of this world. That is why the overly educated dullards are so riled. They can't wrap their minds around it. They are frustrated and angry that this boisterous idiot is playing them like a harp from hell.
Their over inflated sense of self superiority blinds them to a very simple fact... Trump's Campaign is pure genius. He purposely speaks in a sixth grade vernacular calling from an eighth grade lexicon so as to be able to communicate effectively with nearly 100% of the population.
It may not sound eloquent, but everyone understands him. He is so successful, he does not have to inflate his ego with the fine nuances of proper articulation.
There will books about his campaign, and it will serve as a case study in modern political dynamics.
We are witnessing the work of a Michelangelo,a Mozart, or a Leonardo.
