Donald Trump paid someone to take the SAT on his behalf, according to new book by Mary Trump.

Book will be like "He cheated at exams, he cheats at golf, he lies to people, he bullies people, he's a terrible bore".............Meanwhile his actual fucking crimes go unchecked.
Wouldn't be such a big deal if he didn't keep rubbing everyone's face in it, about how "smart" he is and how much he's "accomplished".
Then again, the stupid-rich don't actually see any difference between doing something yourself and paying someone to do something.

I figured his dad had paid someone off or bought a building for a school. Theres no way he'd get into a good school on his own.
Depends. I don't remember numbers, but many athletes recruited by these schools are for the types of sports you need money to pursue. In many cases, it's just another way to get in rich white students.
Found the article:
College Sports Are Affirmative Action for Rich White Students
Athletes are often held to a lower standard by admissions officers, and in the Ivy League, 65 percent of players are white.

He wouldn't have made it past third grade in that movie.
He had a moment of honesty when he said "I don't stand by anything."
Right when people are practically buying their way into these schools.
This probably explains why he was fixated on Obama's college transcripts. Like, how is black man better than him and smarter than him.
"Less testing means less COVID cases" is definitely 2nd grade logic.
Yup. It can feel good to call him dumb and pat yourself on the back for being a hard worker who earned their education. But, no one in power really cares and neither do his supporters. He was born with a silver spoon whether he studied and graduated magna cum laude or just showed up once a semester and paid someone to do all the work never mattered and never will.
I really do wonder where he is now. Like, is he as smart as a 4th grader? Not one of those super advanced 4th graders. Like, one of the average kids.
Don't tell him that Michelle Obama might be smarter than both.
I was thinking this exact same movie, except this point
Not really at these schools. "Athletics" is just another door to get in rich kids that don't have the grades or the legacy.
100% believable. As was his ghost writer when he said he doesn't think Trump has ever read a book in his adult life.
I genuinely wonder when the last time was America had such an idiot know-nothing for president.

Trump, and a degree that was pretty much purchased!?
I can't say that I'm surprised, but I'm all for him doubling down on his stupidity, and how he's going to handle the fallout from this book.

He probably pays someone to take a colonoscopy in his place too. Part of me actually kinda hopes so...
They forgot to mention he couldn't actually get into Wharton, and had to sneak into a course by a loophole from another less notable university (with his brother Fred Trump calling in a favour with the admissions officer).
Once there he had terrible grades he's sued repeatedly to keep hidden and no one liked him.

My 8 year old daughter is going into 3rd grade and made it into Gifted & Talented (GT). It's the first year they offer it here. She reads at an 8-9th grade level, and is great in Math. She's no genius, but I'm 100% confident she's already more intelligent than Trump.
It's this exchange where he gives someone directions, it's even recorded on film:
Everything else is deceit, pure malice, depravity and/or stupidity.
Are you sure about that?
I only know 3 kids that got into Harvard undergrad. None of them had any connections. One was just super smart and had really impressive achievements in high school and the other two got scholarships in football and wrestling.
Obviously this is all anecdotal but athletics seem to be a different category then a straight donation buying an admission or a legacy kid getting in with lesser grades.
Are we certain he was directing Kevin to the lobby and not Epstein's suite?
I miss normal. I miss it so much. I'll never take normal for granted again.
