Trump cheated on his SAT

Bull****

Columbia University School of Law

With a competitive GPA and LSAT scores, Columbia Law School admits students upon completion of their junior year at Occidental into its Accelerated Interdisciplinary Program in Legal Education. Admittance to the program enables students to earn a bachelor's degree from Occidental and a law degree from Columbia in six years.

3. You support corporate tax cuts because you're gullible enough to believe corporate lobbyists who always want lower tax rates. There's a huge list of Fortune 500 companies who paid ZERO taxes. How much lower do corporate taxes need to go?

And if our economy was booming already, why did we need corporate tax cuts when we have a budget deficit? That makes no sense.

The claim was that GDP growth would pay for the taxes. Anyone with half a brain knew this was a lie because we regularly have economic downturns. And here we are with massive deficits and no tools to boost the economy in times of need with tax cuts because we spent our tax cuts in good times.

Sorry but the more regulations and higher taxes, the more companies move somewhere else(of course along with labor costs). Perhaps you should read up on Ireland as an example.

Was Obama part of that program? Nice try but Obama didn't go into Columbia Law. The program you cited had nothing to do with Obama and further, the Wiki article you cited noted Obama transferred but did not reference him in those programs. Major fail on your part-I suspect you were hoping people didn't actually read the article you cited

That's a simplistic view. Most companies move overseas for cheaper labor. No amount of tax cuts can overcome the benefits of a cheaper labor pool.

Where does this race to the bottom end? We lower our taxes to match Ireland, they lower theirs, and on and on. Again, we already have major Fortune 500 companies paying ZERO taxes. We had a thriving economy. The tax cuts were not necessary and only added to the debt. This country is drowning in debt because of conservative presidents.

Obama went to Harvard Law and graduated Magna Cum Laude. You understand what that means or do I need to explain it to you?

it means nothing about the record he had when he was 20. Just as my former roommate in College-a man who the Asst Dean of Admissions stated-had the strongest application of the 2000 or so students accepted into the class of 1981-who failed to last past a year there. A 1600 SAT score as a 14 year old, the highest score in the USA on a massively distributed mathematics competition exam, and the highest GPA in a 40 year period at one of the most prestigious prep schools in New England-didn't matter when he failed to do the work needed to pass his classes.

NO one denies Obama did very well at harvard-He was one of about 85 in his class of 500 who was Magna Cum Laude. The issue is that his time at Columbia did not suggest he was much of student there

I ran into a couple people at college who only spoke a bit better than Chancellor Squirrelhead. Most dropped out, but they all at least read a book or two.

Nobody has to prove that it's not uncommon for people to use fake IDs for these tests. Or are you denying that? And that was my only claim.

The mention of The Donald was merely a comment to remind people that he wouldnt have been a recognized figure at that time.

This is the barely coherent and grammatically inept speech of a man who desperately wants to be able to claim that he "cured coronavirus."

That's it, in a nutshell. When we do get a handle on this crisis, he wants to be able to pull out footage and declare "I called it! I said use this! I said try this! I told them to do this, it was my idea!" He's just doing it with lots of stupid stuff because he doesnt want to miss an opportunity. He's afraid 'the big one' will be mentioned and he wont get credit for it.

It's all about declaring himself the savior of the cv crisis and we'll hear all about it, esp in his campaign. (Which is basically each of his press briefings these days) --- Lursa

I know two self made millionaires who had full ride academic scholarships at Yale, who were far less articulate than Trump. One was the chess master now a major league software designer, the other is an engineer

I knew a couple rock dumb playground bullies in fourth grade who spoke like he does now. I almost feel sorry for his borg for getting duped by him. Almost.

You failed. Own it.

I am well acquainted with Fordham. It is not an Ivy. It is public knowledge that Trump was interviewed by a family friend at Penn. Unlike Obama, he did not appear successful enough at the undergrad level to pursue the MBA that he tries to hint that he has.

Occidental is rated a Very High Quality College in California. Columbia's acceptance rate for transfers equals its regular acceptance rate. I'm sure that Obama qualified with a high GPA, from a competitive college. Also, the reliability of his SAT scores has not been questioned.

Nice try though. Surprised you didn't pull the affirmative action line.

Maybe. But it should be asked, how did she find out about this? I mean, imagine if your youngest niece found out that you cheated on your college entrance exam back when you were in high school. How would she have found out that information? Did Donald Trump's father brag about it to her before he passed away?

I imagine they thought it was quite a good idea, and did not think about the shame of it for one second. You seem to be crediting the Trump family with high ethical standards?
 
yankintx said:
You took the words right out of my mouth. No one who actually went to college for 4 years can be as dumb as Trump unless someone sat his exams. He pays for sex, he pays for trophy wives, he pays to shut people up, and he paid for his degree. He truly is the epitome of the elite were money buys all.

I believe Mary's book claims that Trump's sister (the former judge) did his homework for him at Fordham.

Yes, she has insights, but I though maybe it was unethical to publicly reveal results like that without the patient's permission. I am not a doctor so I might have it all wrong which is likely since I'm not a doctor.

The same woman who stole confidential tax records from a law firm to give to the NYTimes and was an unabashed liberal who was devastated that a mean 'ol conservative was elected who happened to be a family member instead of the first woman ever.


Gosh, no way would she have an agenda here.

She was welcomed to the law office to look at the records, which were central to her own legal settlements. She was told she could take what she needed, as long as she left a copy of everything at the law office.
