Trump's former professor says he was the "dumbest goddam student I ever had."

 

Donald Trump

Elon Musk is right in one sense to say that we need electricians, plumbers and carpenters, but he also knows, that manual workers don't generally finish up in government or running the country. Musk studied economics and physics and bought himself a place in Trump's administration.

The type of people who do finish up in the American government or working for one of its agencies, are people with college degrees. According to the Congressional Research Service, some 95 percent of today's House members and 100 percent of the Senate, have a bachelor's degree or higher. In most cases they will have law degrees and will be graduates of Ivy League colleges.

In the British Parliament, most Members of Parliament, have never done a manual workers job in their life. Many of Britain's Prime Ministers were old Etonians and many British politicians will have attended Oxford or Cambridge university where they will have studied History Tripos, PPE, and Classics, all B.A. subjects.

Donald Trump is believed to have obtained a Bachelor's degree in economics without honours from Wharton. Trump has repeatedly claimed to have "the highest IQ", to "test much higher than Obama" and to be a "genius." One of his former professors at Wharton Business School could see no evidence of this.  Professor Kelley, described Trump as the "dumbest goddam student I ever had." Trump's attorney has threatened to sue any institution that makes his academic grades public.
