The reason he isnt homeless is the FOUR BILLION he owes Putin.

I was WRONG, for years I said it was 1.7 billion.

on reality television.

The problem is the millions of conservatives who think that reality television is actually reality.

He has all the best words...
We're all tired of "winning"...

"respected" does NOT mean "LOL'd at the UN"...

Jesus Christ this assclown is going to be such a stain in history that 100 years from now people won't believe he was really THAT dumb...NOTE TO FUTURE - Yes, he really IS as stupid as the media clips and writings and memoirs make him out to be...probably WORSE!

and claimed he had a non-existent MBA, it would mean either immediate termination if discovered after he was hired, or that he would never have been hired in the first place.

.... he said time after time he was a Wharton graduate. His degree is from the Univ. of Penn
which is a very good school but the first 3.5 years of college he was @ Fordham.

Trump also said on many occasions that he finished at the top of his class and that was a bald
faced lie. But we never heard about that or that his Military Prep. School was really reform
school for rich kids. Liberal Media =

many Ivy League, and other exclusive colleges, had what was called "The Gentleman's C" - if your father, uncle, grandfather or whatever was a graduate of the school and/or a potential wealthy donor, you could basically do whatever you wanted academically and you would be granted the grade of "C" in your classes.

I think that started to go away in the mid to late 70s, but money can still help get into the school - if I had $10 million or $20 million to give, my teenage daughter would be much more likely to get into Yale, Princeton or Harvard.

Trump was too stupid to get into the graduate school program at Wharton. In addition, trump did not graduate with honors. http://fortune.com/2015/08/14/donald-trump-wharton/

His school posted his graduate program that shows that he did not graduate with honor shttp://www.pennlive.com/news/2017/02/what_is_trumps_real_record_at.html

Daddy must have paid well to insure so.

Wharton must be so proud to have tRump on their roster. NOT!

they had a woman one of the two graduating Summa Cum Laude. Not very common 50 years ago. I didn't go through the entire class with a fine tooth comb, but I did not see any other women graduating in 1968?

"Taken care of me. Mike, you’re my kid brother, and you take care of me? Did you ever think of that. Ever once? Send Fredo off to do this, send Fredo to take care of that… take care of some little unimportant night club here, and there; pick somebody up at the airport. I’m your older brother Mike and I was stepped over! … It ain’t the way I wanted it! I can handle things. I’m smart. Not like everybody says, like dumb. I’m smart and I want respect!"
