Donald Trump has a habit of boasting about his prestigious pedigree as a graduate of Wharton School of Finance.

It turns out the feelings aren’t mutual.

Current and former students of the elite University of Pennsylvania business school have penned an open letter that sends a loud message to the presumptive GOP nominee: “You do not represent us.”

The scathing letter, published Friday on Medium, has been signed by over 600 people who want to distance themselves from the billionaire buffoon, who frequently flaunts about his Wharton roots to boost his credentials.

“We, proud students, alumni, and faculty of Wharton, are outraged that an affiliation with our school is being used to legitimize prejudice and intolerance,” the letter reads.

600 sniveling snowflakes dislike Trump, eh? Are the thousands of other Wharton grads who live in the REAL world and appreciate what Trump is attempting to do for us, willing to speak up and give the other side of the argument?

Hopefully with this information regarding the current culture of the Wharton Student body Trump can reassess any Alumni support he might be providing.

Another back-handed attempt to curb Trump’s 1st Amendment rights.

Wayne State ( a black U in MI) U has eliminated MATH, yes, all of it, from their required classed.

A degree from Wayne State is now worth zero! I affirmative -action hires don’t need math anyway.

Objective journalism at its best.

Well, speaking of Wharton. We can see how Trump has succeeded with his education.

What successes can Laura Bult attribute to her education?

Let's see, Laura went to City University Of New York School Of Journalism...

Which was established in 2004.

Oh yeah...that's prestigious.

She graduated in 2014

Went to Indiana University Bloomington 2006-2010

She's currently a reporter for the New York Daily News

Laura is about 28 years old.

By 28, Trump was President of a multi million dollar real estate company, in charge of 14,000 apartments across New York.

Thank you. Always keep an eye on size & proportionality. Majority of Media is dishonest as Trump constantly reminds us. So it behooves us to hear the rest of the story.

Wharton has a total of 94,000 alumni. These snowflakes represent 3/4 of 1 %.

I am sure a Wharton graduate who has become a multi Billionaire has many more admirers than these 600 detractors.

Indeed. Keep this up, and they might find endowments and scholarships starting to blow away like smoke.

Wayne State is NOT a black university! I have known several white faculty (PhD’s who have been conducting scientific research) students, and graduates over the years.

One can still study Math—even at the PhD level—at Wayne State.

Of course, since Wayne State is located in Detroit, and bills itself as a “diverse” urban university, it has tended to get more and more black as time goes on. And replacing a basic undergraduate Math requirement with “Diversity” is a VERY bad move!!!!

IMHO, NO ONE should be required to study “diversity”, and “diversity” courses and programs detract from the greatness of any university. They are a civilizational POISON!!!!

Hey, I live in MI and I’m just saying what they are reporting on the local news and newspapers.

Math is no longer required to get a degree from Wayne State.

” Wayne State University has suspended its requirement that all students take a mathematics course, striking at the heart of a debate over whether math should be a mandatory part of general education.”

When those 600+ idiots have accomplished what Trump has accomplished, then they can talk to him.

And I will listen to them. In the mean time 600 out of nearly 67,000 since Donald graduated, is less than one percent, simple answer: Jealousy.

As a skier I have to question the trendy use of snowflakes. Where would winter sports be without them? Isn’t there another word for coddled white Millennials?


Yes, ArseHoles!

My dad tells me that each year Donald goes and talks to the best of the best, and in many cases offers them jobs.

Those 600 obviously were not part of the best of the best.
