Former Wharton Professor: 'Trump Was the Dumbest G*ddamn Student I Ever Had'
Surprise, surprise. The president came to business school thinking he knew it all.
The late professor William T. Kelley taught marketing at Wharton School of Business and Finance, University of Pennsylvania, for 31 years, ending with his retirement in 1982.
Professor Kelley told me 100 times over three decades that “Donald Trump was the dumbest g*ddam student I ever had.” I remember his emphasis and inflection — it went like this: “Donald Trump was the dumbest g*ddamn student I ever had.”
Kelley told me this after Trump had become a celebrity, but long before he was considered a political figure.
Kelley often referred to Trump’s arrogance when he told the story that Trump came to Wharton thinking he already knew everything.
This has relevance now because as recently as this week, President Trump challenged the Secretary of State of the United States to an IQ contest. This came within two days after NBC reported that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson called the President a “moron” or a "f**king moron." The president has frequently bragged that he was a great student at a great school (Wharton). Thus, the public is entitled to a contrary view from somebody who was there (Dr. Kelley), and I faithfully report it here.
Color me totally...not surprised. :ohdear:

Key word = "supposedly".
I added that word, because unlike you and your blind cultist ilk I'm smart enough to realize that there's no way to prove it (minus a recording or written statement to such)...given that the professor is deceased.
HOWEVER, given what HAS BEEN proved by Trump's own actions and words to date that you wingnuts still want to disbelieve...a reasonably intelligent person would find it completely believable. :ho:

Well. There is this.
I wonder if this professor made a billion dollars in business.
Or if you have.
Ain't nuthin' like the almighty dollar to help keep score.

Only fat, old, passive-aggressive twits equate human decency...with how much money someone has.
By your definition, I guess Mother Theresa...was a massive failure too? :ohdear:
Besides, I doubt that this professor was bailed out from personal bankruptcy by Russian oligarchs...using him as a middle man to launder dirty money either.
Your point? :D

People in business are in business to make money, by providing a product or service. That is one of things professors teach in business classes.
Mother Teresa didn't teach a business class. She wasn't primarily in the money making business.
I love Mother Teresa. She did a great job for HER boss.
I can't say I love Donald Trump. I hold my breath and even switch channels when he talks even though I voted for him.
But he is not as dumb as he sounds. His financial success is proof of that. And once you get the hang of his deplorable attempts to communicate he has some decent ideas. I didn't vote for him because of his saintlike attributes. I don't think he has many if at all.
Cold,you aren't very good with words either, a lot like Donald Trump.

I would think the professor gave out a few failing grades while he was at Wharton. What grade did he give his stupidest student? I guess you can fail at college and still be a success in the world.

Dr.Kelly is dead so it's easy to claim he said something when he is not here to confirm or deny. Just hearsay from another liberal professor, and that is about as credible as Hillary telling us that the Grand Dragon of the KKK, Sen. Byrd might have thought she was smart. Prove it.
On the other hand, Trump has an IQ of 156 (genius level), which is way higher than Obama, Hillary and makes Michelle Obama look like a moron.
Trump is also a billionaire, so either he learned something from his "business school" or those professors are a bit over priced. I wonder what the net worth of those professors is today. How many of them are billionaires?
"Einstein also failed to impress his teachers. From elementary school through college, his teachers and professors thought him lazy, sloppy, and insubordinate. Many of his teachers thought he would never amount to anything."
Trump is doing a great job considering opposition from both the left and the right. He is doing exactly what we elected him to do, and it is only congress that is standing in his (and America's) way. He is not one of them and they feel threatened by his presence in their very private club. He is not a lawyer or dentist and definitely not a politician. He's a businessman and they only like businessmen when they are contributing to their pocketbooks.

:thumbup:
And if I could just add this - although his ways may seem silly or uneducated to some, I wouldn't discount them so quickly. I tend to think there is often a method to his "madness". He is not a typical politician who is used to pandering, while most of our politicians are used to being pandered to, thus the frustration. Many of us who voted for Trump did not do so because we particularly liked his style, or thought he was a mental giant, or identified in any way with his moral code. We voted for him because we wanted somebody who was different from the Washington crowd. Someone who wouldn't be afraid to upset the apple cart and would be strong enough to handle the punches along the way. From that perspective, I think so far so good.
Only time will tell, of course, if this is true and if it will work. But in the meantime, I am reluctant to question his motives when he does something that seems peculiar. I'm willing to wait and see before passing judgment. A weaker person would have caved by now.

He works for the same people Hillary would have worked for. The ultra wealthy who don't appear on Forbes lists...trillionaires. The parties are part of the divide and conquer strategy. The rich keep getting rich as "we" borrow to pay them. They've gotten $20 trillion so far.
Yes...time will tell...time will show us more of the same. America...becoming "darker" and poorer...deeper in debt.

Explain please what motive a President of the United States could have for lying to the entire world publicly ? OR making false accusations world wide and publicly ?
What is the motivation for any of that, and if you come up with any, we are in serious trouble when such things are accepted as a MOTIVE
Lying and being mean spirited is not "peculiar". It is lying and being mean spirited.
i also suggest that this "gig" in the WH is one of his biggest money makers for both he and his family.

When I was speaking of motives, I meant it in reference to how he has been handling Congress. Healthcare being one example of that. Even his lies, as you call them, I think are often fake-outs, to divert the situation in some way.
Again, I don't know any of this for sure, just have a different outlook than you on what MAY be really going on. I could be proven wrong in the end, but then again, it may be you who is proven wrong. I keep saying - only time will tell - and since patience, sadly, is not one of my virtues, it's not easy waiting to see the outcome of all of this. In the meantime, prayer helps.

LOL :1rotfl:
Your entire diatribe (and for that matter, almost all of your drivel on any subject)...depends on your perceived sense of superiority.
Obviously, as shown by your blind loyalty and constant references to the developer...you judge that superiority by how much money someone has.
I feel sorry for you in a way, because deep down you know what a scumbag wretched human being Trump is and the damage he is doing to this great nation...yet you still feel compelled to support him. :oops:
It has nothing to do with his 'ideas,' it is all about you hating Clinton...more than you love this country.
So when you're on your death bed, reflect on why you have such a weak character...and idolize those with money.
Sorry, but my ethics, integrity and sense of decency, unlike yours...is not for sale. :ho:

Trump is not shy about his intellectual prowess. As he tweeted in 2013: “Sorry losers and haters, but my I.Q. is one of the highest -and you all know it! Please don’t feel so stupid or insecure, it’s not your fault.”
Of course, “smart” is a bit subjective. There’s book smarts as well as street smarts. Many would say Trump has run a pretty smart campaign. But clearly he’s saying that his brain is very sharp — as he puts it, “super-genius stuff.’’ At one point, Trump rebutted criticism from columnist George Will and GOP consultant Karl Rove by saying: “I’m much smarter than them. I think I have a much higher IQ. I think I went to a better college — better everything.”
Trump’s college background, in fact, is often his key piece of evidence for his intellectual superiority. But there’s less here than meets the eye. Trump did graduate from the Wharton School of business at the University of Pennsylvania, an Ivy League college. But Trump did not get an MBA from Wharton; he has a much less prestigious undergraduate degree. He was a transfer student who arrived at Wharton after two years at Fordham University, which U.S. News & World Report currently ranks 66th among national universities. (Besides, simply going to an Ivy League school doesn’t prove you’re a genius.)
Gwenda Blair, in her 2001 book “The Trumps,” said that Trump’s grades at Fordham were just “respectable” and that he got into Wharton mainly because he had an interview with an admissions officer who had been a high school classmate of his older brother. And Wharton’s admissions team surely knew that Trump was from one of New York’s wealthiest families.
For years, numerous media reports said Trump graduated first in his class from Wharton, but that’s wrong. The 1968 commencement program does not list him as graduating with any sort of honors. In fact, the Boston Globe reported that he barely made an impression at all: “His former classmates said he seemed a student who spoke up a lot but rarely shined in class, who barely participated in campus activities, shunned fraternity parties.”
