> Despite the US president attesting to the fact that he finished “top of his class” at Wharton Business School at the University of Pennsylvania, his former college professor, William T. Kelley, had another view.

> After Kelley’s death, Frank DiPrima, a close friend of Kelley, revealed that the professor felt the president was a fool.

> It was, it can be said without fear of exaggeration, a day that will live in infamy. When President Donald Trump emerged from his mysterious one-on-one summit with Russian president Vladimir Putin in Helsinki in July of 2018, the respective visages and body language of the two world leaders could not have been further apart. The Russian president looked smug and sated, like a vampire with a bellyful of peasant blood; Trump looked like a man who’d just received a painful enema.

Any accounts that could be taken seriously?

  • You are confusing the actual accounts with the surrounding article.

    Look, Trump has been claiming that he graduated first in class, but never provided any evidence. In fact, he refuses to publish his college records. Why is that?

    • > You are confusing the actual accounts with the surrounding article.

      The first one is hearsay from a dead guy and the other one is a creative writing project. If you had these accounts handy from reputable sources, you would have posted them from the reputable sources. This is not the standard of commentary expected of this forum.

      > Look, Trump has been claiming that he graduated first in class, but never provided any evidence.

      The articles I have read on the subject suggest that this claim is impossible because he would have been on the honor roll and does not appear there. This tells me that he’s either delusional, misinformed, or a liar. It doesn’t tell me he doesn’t understand economics.
