“Donald Trump was the dumbest goddamn student I ever had.”
-- William T. Kelley, one of Trump's professors at Wharton
AFAIK, none of Hillary's professors said something similar of her.Wow! The meaning carried by verb tense is, apparently lost on you. In fact, Kelley's remark is very different from that of Einstein's schoolmaster.That means about as much as the Munich schoolmaster who wrote in Albert Einstein's school report, "He will never amount to anything", 1895.
BTW, if you're going to quote someone, quote them correctly. Einstein's teacher said to Einstein, "You will never amount to anything." Changing the quote to fit the grammatical construction of your sentence calls for brackets around "he," as in "[He] will never amount to anything."
- Kelley's remark --> description of Trump's observed non-performance.
- Einstein's schoolmaster --> prediction about Einstein's future performance.
Nice try, Zelor, but no need to try to change the subject with an irrelevant faux English lesson. For one thing, I changed nothing, that is how it was presented on the website I found discussing the matter, so unless you can tell me you've seen Albert's school paper saying the comment was written to HIM in the first person and not to the school for record, go pound salt. Back to the subject at hand, the REAL point is that after Kelley made his alleged remark about Trump, where was Kelley ten, twenty years later? Still probably at Wharton teaching flunky brats for $9/hr, while by that time, Trump was an international figure worth billions.
Ever occur to you that Trump was simply BORED at Wharton because sitting at a little desk all day listening to someone talk wasn't his thing and he knew his time at Wharton was simply holding him back from his real work of building and making business and fortunes? Of course not.
where was Kelley ten, twenty years later?
Where Kelley was at any point in time has no bearing on the fact of Trump's observed non-performance in Kelley's classes, which is the basis for Kelley's remark.
Well, lessee-- -- -- Kelley today is probably opening doors at Walmart. Donald Trump is President of the USA. So offhand, I'd say that Kelley's "observations" have no bearing on anything other than pointing out he was a total ass whose opinions mean not a thing to anyone by someone like you.
