Donald Trump: Barack Obama too dumb for Ivies

Donald Trump is upping the ante against President Barack Obama's legitimacy, raising questions on Monday night about how the president was admitted to two Ivy League schools.

Trump openly questioned how Obama, who he said had been a "terrible student," got accepted into Columbia University for undergraduate studies and then Harvard Law School.

“He’s a totally manufactured character. I still say he never really attended either Columbia nor Harvard.....at all.”
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

There is vastly more evidence for that theory than there is for global warming...or for a lot of other things that hundreds of millions believe in.

Voice of experience:this year affirmative students with 1900 on SATs got into Ivies while white middle class males with over 2300 0n SATs were shut out

Actually Harvard routinely rejects 75% of all applicants with perfect SAT scores. What counts more than raw knowledge nowadays is either legacy connections, massive amounts of money to donate or political connections. That also explains how a moron like Obama could get accepted over more qualified black applicants.

I bet it also scares him. If he was truly born in Kenya (which I believe), then the daily discussion of this issue must be making him very, very nervous. Either that or he's using lots of drugs.

Only if there were a strong chance that he would end up in federal penitentiary for the fraud he has committed on this country. But I see no chance of that happening, since he's black and the cowardly "leadership" in this country would fear the riotous repercussions.

Just curious, but can anyone provide a link with documentation of race-based college admission policies?
I know of a student who had excellent grades and AP classes who was disappointed and discouraged after being rejected.

It seems that for many reasons, this year is particularly nasty for aspirants.

By the way, college applicants know about this— point system penalties for stable two-parent families, certain “privileged” ethnicities and private school educated students— but it would be nice to have something to show the skeptics.

Yeah, I’ve heard that....and don’t doubt the story(ies) one bit.

Still, with all due respect, you’re missing my point. It’s not that he had connections that got him in (makes the mind reel wondering “Why this idiot, of all people?”). My point is that, no matter what, I don’t feel he actually ATTENDED...he’d have never been able to keep up, let alone graduate, let alone head up the Harvard Law Review, etc., etc.

It’s all 100%, A-1 bullshit.

Uhh, I listed what I am talking about. School records, papers, etc. You know; proof that he did something other than learn to read aloud. ???

Uhh, you listed those items he is hiding, not necessarily alleged achievements. Then again, maybe you consider his parent’s marriage certificate and access to his grandmother, ‘achievements’.

If you need further clarification as to what I am talking about watch this.

Well, excuuuuuuse me for not choosing a more accurate word to cover everything in the list that followed. I didn’t know I was going to be graded by a literalist on my comment.
