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 schools 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.
those ever so funny pranksters at Harvard, oh what wit.
?
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.
Standards always fall under liberalism.
It wasn’t meant to be anything intelligent or useful. It’s the Harvard Lampoon. It’s a humor magazine.
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.
I’ve heard for years that ‘the elite’ with $$$$$ behind them aren’t allowed tk fail.
I hate practical jokes and that includes those juveniles pretending to be funny on that cable show
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.
“It wasnt meant to be anything intelligent or useful. Its the Harvard Lampoon. Its a humor magazine.”
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.
Once again, I am a Cruz man myself.
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.
Ted Kaczinsky is another of their prestigious grads.
/.sarcasm
This is the kind of thing that if Trump gets into power and Harvard needs something payback will be expensive.
I’d have to add Stanford into that mix.
An Ivy Plague School
Our future leaders, God help us. More just like The Dictator
set to be inflicted upon us.
I was thinking of SoConPubbie. Sorry about that.
