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

[Loudninja]

This is not surprising at all.


Cheating on a College Entrance Test

As a high school student in Queens, Ms. Trump writes, Donald Trump paid someone to take a precollegiate test, the SAT, on his behalf. The high score the proxy earned for him, Ms. Trump adds, helped the young Mr. Trump to later gain admittance as an undergraduate to the University of Pennsylvania's prestigious Wharton business school.
Mr. Trump has often boasted about attending Wharton, which he has referred to as "the best school in the world" and "super genius stuff."

Super genius stuff indeed.

 

[Soj]

Sounds about right.

 

[Astronut325]

Is this book still getting released? I thought it was being blocked/banned?

 

[Memento Mori]

I think we all assumed this. Presumably even if a legal case could have been made for fraud though, the satute of limitations has long expired?

It is being released two weeks earlier apparently.

I would be more shocked if this didn't happen.

Wonder how much you get paid for taking a test.

 

[Komo]

Why would this be legal or actually count?

This is just like the opening of that Sopranos episode where Christopher pays someone to take his SAT

 

[entremet]

He's obviously stupid. We've seen his dribble for close to four years. His former employees and staff have all said the man is beyond dumb. He never reads. He watches hours of TV, not just TV but propaganda Fox News garbage. He doesn't understand nuance, scientific inquiry, foreign relations, or history. He's bankrupted casinos-which are sure bet businesses.

 

[Brinbe]

Rich entitled narcissist with severe daddy issues breezes through life and thinks he knows everything about everything.

Yeah, this isn't a hard story to tell.

 

[Shelbyville Milhouse]

Imagine being the college where Trump graduated from.
That's like, the worst PR you can get.

I have the craziest case of deja-vu.

 

[Jersey_Tom]

There's a bunch of revelations that dropped today between NYT and Washington Post.

Trump opting to see a movie instead of seeing his brother on his death bed.

Trump commenting on the size of his niece's breasts at a family get-together when she was 29 (a step up for him, seeing as she was an adult, I suppose).

Trump only ever showing up at churches when there's cameras.

None of this is surprising to people who are paying attention at all.

I genuinely would not have expected anything else from Donald Trump. This man has not in his entire life done one single honest thing ever.

 

[El Bombastico]

I was wondering how a man who is, by all accounts, functionally illiterate, could even pass his SATs.

This explains a lot.

 

[Tbm24]

Sounds about right for someone so massively privileged in life.

 

[GK86]

Can't wait for the tweets to prove he is a super genius.

 

[Koukalaka]

I'm like 90%+ sure he either cheated once in college as well, or his Dad's influence helped him get through it with a degree.

 

[Tamanon]

Like a majority of rich college students I imagine.

Fun fact: it's illegal to post grades publicly now.

He's a con from beginning to end

Is it that easy to get someone else to take your exam?

Commander in cheat!

Knowing trumps lame MO he probably didn't pay the guy after the exam.

 

[Deleted member 7279]

Doesn't matter how true it is

He's going to rant about it on Twitter for days regardless

Fun fact, despite being an Ivy League school, Penn's only other student who went on to be president was William Henry Harrison.

lmao this fucking guy. I absolutely believe it's true. He's a complete moron. Only a few more months to go until this fucker is gone. Can't wait to celebrate!

For sure he has. Many other rich kids do this. It sucks.

This is why it's eyeballing when people get mad at affirmative action moves and say, "You should just get in based on how academic you are." LOL Yah right.

He cheats and lies at life on every single level. He is incapable of actual success in anything. ever.

For a Democrat. Republicans can get away with almost anything these days. Not quite at Trump's level, but still a lot.

This isn't much of a story, in this time. Anyone with a brain can see how likely it is. Trump supporters couldn't care less.

Probably written or dictated to by an intern, who did things the right way and went through 4 years of college just to write tweets in all caps.

I totally believe this. He's an idiot.

Did this motherfucker ever do a single good thing, born from integrity, in his entire life?

Nah, we just had a huge college admissions scandal with very little fallout. Rich people paying their way to success is the norm.
