Trump: Obama a "Terrible Student" Not Good Enough for Harvard

Manhattan real estate mogul Donald Trump suggested in an interview Monday that President Barack Obama had been a poor student who did not deserve to be admitted to the Ivy League universities he attended. Trump, who is mulling a bid for the Republican presidential nomination, offered no proof for his claim but said he would continue to press the matter as he has the legitimacy of the president's birth certificate.

"I heard he was a terrible student, terrible. How does a bad student go to Columbia and then to Harvard?" Trump said in an interview with The Associated Press. "I'm thinking about it, I'm certainly looking into it. Let him show his records."

Obama graduated from Columbia University in New York in 1983 with a degree in political science after transferring from Occidental College in California. He went on to Harvard Law School, where he graduated magna cum laude 1991 and was the first black president of the Harvard Law Review.

but WHAT-IF the Clintons or other senior Democratic Party leaders have secretly asked Trump to do this ?

How does a bad student go to Columbia and then to Harvard?"

Ever hear of affirmative action?

Even without seeing the academic records, it’s logical to deduce that the grades are poor. If the grades were good, we’d know all about it, right?

I’m waiting for all those Occidental and Columbia profs to come forward and let us know how fantastic a student Obama was...

I think Zib-Big (Carter's National Security Adviser) did claim zero wsa in one of his seminars and was super brilliant. I have always wondered about that seminar, every undergraduate seminar I every took was not rigorous, you sat and listened to guest speakers, no exams & no papers. Maybe Zero sat brilliantly!

I don’t expect it’s crazy at all. I thoroughly expect The Donald has been given the files from the Clintons’ private investigators. Trump was a big Hillary backer in ‘08 and he is close to both the Clintons and Rahm Emanuel and his brother.

You hit the nail in the head. None of the Republicans in the mix stand up for us, yet they expect our vote.

Where the heck have Huck and Romney been while the country has gone to hell?
They are too scared of the media to come out and oppose the president.
