Once A Dumb Cheater, Always A Dumb Cheater

 

We know that the deranged Malignant Fascist cheats:  in his marriages, in business (34 felony convictions), in golf, and now in academics. The MF's sociopathic, KKK-sympathizing father Fred passed over psychologist Mary Trump's father Fred, Jr., in handing off the Trump Organization to the MF. In her latest Substack column, Mary contrasts her father with her uncle, before alleging that the MF also cheated in college:

"In the simplest terms: my father was the oldest son, my grandfather’s namesake. But beyond that, he was also smart, funny, accomplished, kind, and generous. These are qualities that most of us value. When he was 25, he became a pilot for TWA at the dawn of the jet age which at the time was a very big deal. Donald, on the other hand, was given everything despite having done nothing.

The only reason his grades were good enough to apply to the University of Pennsylvania was because my Aunt Maryanne, his older sister, did all his homework for him. The only reason he got in was because he paid someone to take his SATs for him and my dad’s fraternity brother worked in Admissions. The only reason Donald was able to make it into Manhattan real estate was because my grandfather was worth hundreds of millions of dollars and he had very deep connections to New York real estate and New York politics. Every step along the way, Donald’s rise has been enabled by somebody else with more power and their own malign motives: from my grandfather to the New York media, from the banks to Mark Burnett at NBC; from the Republican Party to the fucking Supreme Court. And yet, Donald continues to be petty. For him, having everything isn’t enough unless you’re humiliating the person you stole everything from."  (our emphasis)

Her whole article is well worth the read.

Added to the MF's proclivity for cheating is the comment reportedly made by one of the MF's professors at Penn's Wharton School of Business, the late marketing professor William T. Kelley:

"Attorney Frank DiPrima revealed what former Wharton marketing professor William T. Kelley told him about Trump, and it wasn't a very flattering picture. Kelley, who retired from teaching in the 1980s, even went so far as to reportedly call Trump 'dumb,' per  Philadelphia Magazine. 'He must have told me that 100 times over the course of 30 years,' DiPrima said.

But it wasn't just that Kelley thought Trump wasn't very smart. 'I remember the inflection of his voice when he said it,' Di Prima said of Kelley. ''Donald Trump was the dumbest goddamn student I ever had!' He would say that [Trump] came to Wharton thinking he already knew everything, that he was arrogant and he wasn't there to learn." Kelley likely taught hundreds of students over the years, so it seems like Trump made quite the negative impression." (our emphasis)

And now he's sitting in the Oval Office, elected by people who apparently see him in themselves.
