Just heard him bloviating nightly news... "
"The press makes me out to be a worse person than I am ... I'm a nice person ... I went to an Ivy League college, I was very nice, I did well, I'm a very intelligent person..."
At which point I shut off the sound.
But as far as Trump's education goes, I am reminded of the statement by one of his profs at Wharton Business School. He said he never met a student who was so full of himself and thought he knew everything already. He also said Trump didn't even try to learn the material.
Some things never change.
We have the most moronic president.
Ever.
Sad.

The president tweeted multiple times that Republican senators gave him a standing ovation when he walked in the room for a meeting this week.Who wants to be the one who tells him that people are required to stand when the president enters the room? Kimmel asked. Thats not an accomplishment. Thats like saying, Every time I walk into a Starbucks, guy behind the counter asks me if I want coffee. If only his mother had hugged him just one time.
But Kimmel seemed even more amused by Trumps response to a question on Wednesday about his lack of civility. You know people dont understand, I went to an Ivy League college, the president said. I was a nice student. I did very well. Im a very intelligent person. (Trump, for the record, was not such a nice student according to his classmates.)
When youre the president of the United States and you have to tell others that youre a very intelligent person, not a great sign, Kimmel said. Like if Shaquille ONeal had to say, Listen, Im a very tall person, wed be confused.
Hes so insecure, Kimmel said of Trump. He might be the most insecure person ever. ]
