The Trump campaign is hitting back at the Harvard students who pulled an elaborate prank on the Republican presidential candidate, convincing him that he had been endorsed by the school’s student paper.
“The students who perpetrated this are fraudsters and liars, but frankly it was a waste of only a few minutes,” Donald Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks told The Hill.
Trump was tricked by members of The Harvard Lampoon masquerading as Harvard Crimson staffers into a photo op, under the guise that he was being endorsed by the paper. In reality, the endorsement was part of an ongoing prank war between the Lampoon and the Crimson.
"Mr. Trump attended the great Wharton School of Finance,” Hicks added, "a school that has more important things to do.”
I support Walker, but am sick of the media attacking Trump.
They tried this with Duke Wayne, too.
Cruz all the way. I love my governor but I sense that he is a political animal while Cruz is the real deal. I’ve been wrong before though.
That’s the same prank Conan pulled on Cosby when he was there.
They have no originality, and Trump needs to get a sense of humor.
True, except for the STEM students. There are still standards there.
For a while, at least.
Not hard to see why their students cant pass grade school level exams from 150 years ago.
Thin skin.
You support Walker? I thought you supported Cruz. What happened? You aren’t the “Cruz or Lose” person?
The more they do things like that the more they look like the clowns. They also signal to the world that they really have no opinion of Trump and are simply wanting to turn im into a victim. that is really, really dangerous for them. Not for Trump.
Trump will turn this around and make the world realize that his opposition are the fools the silent majority absolutely hates. There is nothing intelligent or useful about what they did.
Walker has been a huge disappointment.
Note Cruz has no red, nor does Paul or Walker.
Harvard spews more gas than just about any place on the planet.
They make fun of George W. Bush but they accept people like him. In fact, W has a degree from there.
Thats SoConPubbie
Turds from Harvard have done more to screw up America than any other college.
Oh yeah. Duh! Thanks for setting that straight for me.
Don’t feel bad. there are a few people that have kindasorta similar names I mix up all the time. You aren’t alone.
Lemme guess. Name of paper is the ‘Red and the Red’?
Is that really like, a great prank? That seems pretty lame.
