“Donald Trump Was The Dumbest G*ddam Student I Ever Had.”

A statement by 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. 

Dr. Kelley often referred to Trump’s arrogance when he told of this — that Trump came to Wharton thinking he already knew everything. 

Dr. Kelley’s view seems to be shared by other University of Pennsylvanians.

Gwenda Blair, wrote in 2001 that Trump was admitted to Wharton on a special favor from a “friendly” admissions officer. The officer had known Trump’s older brother, Freddy.

Trump’s classmates doubt that the real estate mogul was an academic powerhouse.“He was not in any kind of leadership. I certainly doubt he was the smartest guy in the class,” said Steve Perelman, a 1968 Wharton classmate and a former Daily Pennsylvanian news editor.

Some classmates speculated that Trump skipped class, others that he commuted to New York on weekends. . . . 

1968 Wharton graduate Louis Calomaris recalled that “Don ... was loath to really study much.”Calomaris said Trump would come to study groups unprepared and did not “seem to care about being prepared.”
