Typical Trumper distorting statement and claims. Your time is up on this with me as you post nonsensical claims on what I wrote. Learn to read and work on comprehension. As for Swissie that's got nothing to do with me.

What proof do you have that Trump finished in the bottom of his class at Wharton?

Google is your friend. His teacher discussed it in an interview. Trump paid to get his records sealed so no one can see them.  A little research goes a long way but most cultists won't research and when they do the make excuses that the facts are made up by leftist extremist.

Finishing at the bottom of your class is no big deal.  It happens all the time for various reasons, and there's no necessary correlation between school grades and success in the real world.  And for what it's worth, Trump isn't stupid.

He's a moron, just, just a con man. Have you not heard him talk? He cant tell the truth to save his life and you believe every word he says. 

 

Finishing at the bottom of your class isn't the issue its that he lies about it and had his records sealed so no one can see them. Just like he lied about his networth and the value of his buildings and assets to get loans and lied about his taxes to avoid paying. Do some research

Well, he just managed to be elected President of the United States for at least the second time, so whatever he's doing seems to work.

 

I realize a lot of the brainwashed individuals in America can't handle that too well.  My advice: get over it.  Learn something from the loss and ask yourself how you were fooled.

I find the opposite to be true. His lifetime of crime is out there for anyone to see. It is both lazy and revisionist to deny it. Support the guy all you want, but don't try to make him into a fake saint. You can support his policies, yet admit he is a deeply flawed man. 

I'm confused as your reply seems divorced from what you quoted.

As for "fake saint" I've never ever said that Trump is any sort of saint. I've also said I support his policies, not him personally.

Agree. I finished school with no real qualifications, but still had three successful careers. Why did I do so poorly at school: because not a single teacher was able to motivate me to be interested. I did a lot of things at school, read a lot of books, rowing, played trumpet in the orchestra, acting, etc but not much in the way of passing exams. Never studied, never cared. Of course I was lucky that I started work when qualifications were not necessary. I could have done any job not requiring a degree. Kids these days are not so lucky- too many chasing too few jobs, and many jobs require a degree that did not use to, like nursing. Just heard that half the current year's nursing graduates will be unemployed. That would never have happened in the 80s.

When I was in school, I never cared about grades at all.  I got whatever grade I got and didn't really care.  One time in grade school they sent in the school psychiatrist to run all sorts of tests on me over a period of a few days.  Rorschach inkblot tests, etc. They were trying to figure out why I did soy well on IQ tests and was such a screw up, all at the same time.   Anyway, that was me for my entire academic career.  20 years of school.  Back then, it was easy to get into just about any school with stellar standardized test scores and so-so grades, so I always had that advantage.  And in the real world, none of it mattered at all. 

 

As for today's kids?  I'm afraid things aren't going to be getting better in the job market anytime soon.  AI may save the day, though, in the long run.  I guess that's another thread.
