Trump's Biggest Lie Yet?
Newsweek Just Revealed Trump Lied, NEVER Got Ivy League MBA
Republican nominee Donald Trump likes to talk about his collegiate performance, how he graduated first in his class from the prestigious Ivy League Wharton School of Business, and how his mind is tremendous, one of the best minds.
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— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 9, 2013
Not kidding. Trump just said this: “I went to the Wharton School of Business. I’m, like, a really smart person.”— Michael Barbaro (@mikiebarb) July 11, 2015
But Newsweek reporter Kurt Eichenwald noted today that in fact, Trump never graduated with an Masters of Business Administration from Wharton, nor was he“first in his class.”
While Trump suggests he has an MBA from prestigious Wharton graduate school, only attended undergraduate program for 2 years. Has no MBA.

Re: Trump's Biggest Lie Yet?
A 2011 Salon magazine article refers to a 2001 book called “The Trumps: Three Generations That Built an Empire,” by Gwenda Blair.
It says that Trump’s grades at Fordham, a Jesuit school in New York, had been “respectable,” and that he was admitted to Penn after an interview with a “friendly” Wharton admissions officer who was an old classmate of Trump’s older brother.Thearticle also points out that Trump has happily allowed the media to report that he graduated first in his class from Wharton, including in New York Times stories in 1973 and 1976 about him.
But the story goes on to say:
Writing in the New York Times magazine in 1984, William Geist reported that “the commencement program from 1968 does not list him as graduating with honors of any kind,” even though “just about every profile ever written about Mr. Trump states that he graduated first in his class at Wharton in 1968.”
