Trump just said, "“I went to the best colleges, or college." Why the slip? 1 or 2? Answer: 2. He wanted UPenn, but Dad's influence couldn't get him in. Went to Fordham. Eventually, Penn gave Don a "rich boy" admission. Never made dean's list, claims he graduated 1st in his class.
...Trump always refuses to mention Fordham, because it is evidence that he wasn't good enough. He refuses to call U Penn by that name, but instead calls it Wharton, the undergraduate business school. BUT no one says "I went to Wharton" when they are talking about undergrad.....
...they might say, I went to Wharton undergrad, but never "I went to Wharton." Why? Because Wharton has the most highly respected graduate business program in the country. People who "went to Wharton" are MBAs. Trump has been tricking people -- including me years ago -- into....
...believing he has a Wharton MBA (Which WOULD be a major accomplishment) by his crafty word choice. Trump has no MBA. He can't read a balance sheet. He's just a guy who inherited lots of $ long ago and is so bad at business that no American banks will deal with him anymore.
...now, Fordham is a great school. Trump could say "I went to Fordham, then transferred to UPenn for the business program." But then it would be, wait, did you get a Wharton MBA or not? Telling the truth about undergraduate destroys the deception on graduate degree.
