"I went to an Ivy League school...I got very good marks"

[eddiew37]

There is NOTHING in Trumps demeanor that indicates he is a legitimate Ivy League graduate

and this is based on you being an Ivy League graduate? I hold three Ivy degrees and Trump is as smart as many I have met. He is certainly as smart as Moochelle who was an affirmative action case at Princeton and then Harvard Law.

Now you are straining credibility

Where has Trump EVER spoken as eloquently as Michelle Obama?
Trump has never shown the vocabulary, speaking ability or writing skills of a college graduate, let alone an Ivy League graduate

I can't see him passing Freshman English at a Community College

But, but he has very very good words

And his parents had to send him to military school as a child because there was something not right with him

I grew up in the town next to that military academy and they did not have the reputation as the best and the brightest. A place for rich people to stash their black sheep out of sight and out of mind. West Point was only a few miles away and NY Military Academy in Cornwall was not a training ground for West Point cadets

Why Trump last week reiterated that he went to an Ivy League school and did well is beyond comprehension. Who the hell that is a public figure who also is indeed smart and mastered the content taught at whatever school(s) they attended bothers, unbidden and for any reason other than to show a measure of understanding about something besides the actual content taught in that school, to attest to as much is anyone's guess.

Whether one was a good student and did a fine job of learning what was taught will be evident in myriad ways to which one need not attest and that others will attest to on one's behalf. That happens all the time. People have no reluctance about saying things like "so and so is really good at...," "he's really smart," "she's a brilliant mathematician," "she did an excellent job at ...," and so on. Even Trump's biggest detractors and opponents willingly accord that he's very good at some things. If one earns a given accolade, one will receive it, in abundance and from people who matter and people who don't.
...

Umm, no they don't. This site is full of people who moronically claim that Trump is stupid, and will hysterically attack you and your intelligence is you point out the obvious truth that he is brilliant.


Thus, we have in your opening paragraphs, the reason for him to say it, because only normal, there are plenty of dishonest people out there pushing the lie that he is stupid.


And Trump, unlike so many other republicans, is pushing back against the vile liars.


Good for him.

Someone compared Trump to Michelle Obama as Ivy League graduates

One only has to listen to Michelle Obama speak, see how she handles herself in public, listen to her vocabulary and speaking style and you can recognize she is an educated person

Trump never demonstrates a working vocabulary....the best, great, very, very good, he is stupid, I'm smart

The OP strongly implies that even Trump's detractors will admit that he is very smart.


Which is the basis of his attack on Trump, that Trump feels the need to claim something that is not being denied.


So, RW, will you admit that Trump is very smart, or validate that his claiming it is completely justified as a rebuttal of constant attacks on him?

No....actually I lean towards Dotard

Trump is not very smart. Personally, I tend to use the word intelligent. With Trumps limited intelligence, smart is the best he can come up with

Intelligent people (smart people for you Trumpites) do not feel the need to constantly proclaim their intelligence. Who challenges people to an IQ test? Intelligent people demonstrate their intelligence through their choice of words and speaking ability

Snake oil salesmen are very good at what they do
They size up their audience and tell them what they want to hear

Most can aspire to use that skill to become used car salesmen. Trump used it to gain the presidency

Very good. And telling the voters in those traditionally dem states that they were stupid to vote for Trump, is the perfect way to get them to come back to you.


You are OBVIOUSLY so much smarter than Trump.

Actually as per the OP, smart or intelligent people generally do not feel the need to proclaim their intelligence because other people are generally happy to do so for them.


But, as you just demonstrated, dishonest leftist partisans are constantly attacking his intelligence, thus explaining his push back.

Thanks for demonstrating my point.


Jeez, that wasn't very smart of you, if you were trying to refute my point, was it?

So, once again, our President lied

He did not get "very good marks"
People who get very good marks make the Deans List, they graduate at the top of their class, they are remembered by their peers as top students, they go on for advanced degrees

Trump did not

Even Ted Cruz
While I disagree with his politics, it is obvious he is an intelligent man

Ted Cruz does not run around saying ....I am smart, I have an IQ that is off the charts, I am smarter than the generals

Trump got into Wharton through a back door admission and paid someone to take his exams and write his papers

Undergrad he went to Fordham; just like Bush II & the B school at Harvard, family recommendations based on his 'business' experience helped Trump get in to Wharton.

Like any good Snake Oil Salesman, Trump misrepresents his product

Ivy League in the 60s was not the Ivy League of today. You did not see many bright Asians running around Ivy League schools in the 60s

Ivy League was for the elite. Not elite intelligence but the social elite
Getting in to Ivy League schools meant you had connections. Connections like JFK, George Bush and yes, Donald Trump. Once in, you went for the "Gentleman's C". Just enough to get by
