Trump: Harvard students 'fraudsters and liars'
The Hill ^ | 8/3/15

Posted on 08/03/2015 5:51:22 PM PDT by SoFloFreeper

The Trump campaign is hitting back at the Harvard students who pulled an elaborate prank on the Republican presidential candidate, convincing him that he had been endorsed by the school’s student paper.

“The students who perpetrated this are fraudsters and liars, but frankly it was a waste of only a few minutes,” Donald Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks told The Hill.

Trump was tricked by members of The Harvard Lampoon masquerading as Harvard Crimson staffers into a photo op, under the guise that he was being endorsed by the paper. In reality, the endorsement was part of an ongoing prank war between the Lampoon and the Crimson.

"Mr. Trump attended the great Wharton School of Finance,” Hicks added, "a school that has more important things to do.”

Well I will never vote for a Harvard Grad......I agree with Trump on that. They tend to be sleazy.

?

I have sent money this cycle to Cruz, and he is a good man, but I think governors make the best Presidents—generally speaking.

Walker has won in a Democrat state. Three times. With Demon Rat unions trying to unseat him. I think that says something very very good about him.

It wasn’t meant to be anything intelligent or useful. It’s the Harvard Lampoon. It’s a humor magazine.

"Walker has been a huge disappointment."

Oh, come on...He has done great as Governor in spite of the times. We are digging out of a hole and the media is automatically against him. What would you have had him do differently? It's a jungle out there, populated by low information voters and leftist ideologues. Our side lost years (decades) ago, but Walker is still fighting in spite of the contrary zeitgeist. One man can't convert leftists into strict-constructionists and we're surrounded by leftists.

Jesus the FREEPER woke up and knows who would be the best for America and that is Governor Walker....I wish you would wake up from your dreamy talker SFF. Haven't we had 7 years of a talker and you want another 4-8 years of talk from Cruz? No thanks. I mean Cruz can talk and talk but can't seem to get a darn thing done. Take today for example, Cruz begged his Senators to defund PP and they told him to get pack sand. Not exactly leadership qualities. Sorry.

Walker has been a huge disappointment.

Only because you are a pro-choice FREEPER and HATE that Governor Walker banned abortion for all reasons after 20 weeks. I don’t know why you hate that but you seem to. That is the latest conservative bill he passed. It must piss you off that Walker is making Wisconsin a conservative state. Sorry but the guy gets the job done.

Yup. A humor magazine, by the way, which has had a friendly rivalry with the Harvard Crimson for ~130 years. Pranksters gonna prank. The fact that thin-skinned Trump is even bothering to respond to this says more about him than it does about the Lampoon.

Even the Whiffenpoofs suck. Forced to go to one of their concerts a year ago and was appalled by the lousiness of the singing much less the politically-correct makeup of the singers (mostly lesbians and pajama boys) and the lousy song picks. Thank God it was an open bar at the Harvard Club.

Honestly, the fact that so many ‘Ivy’ students fall for the sophomoric socialist crap that they hear in class and on campus is documentation of their lack of free thought or ability to think behind what’s being spoon fed to them.

This is the kind of thing that if Trump gets into power and Harvard needs something payback will be expensive.
