Meanwhile Border Agents are scouring the desert for duct tape and prayer rugs, because someone saw the movie Sicario and told the President about it.
One of the absolute scariest things about this President is the pride he takes in being ignorant. His ego does not let him admit that he is wrong. He gives himself an A+ as President, and doesn't believe he has made many big mistakes. Donald Trump will never go 'back to school' because he already knows everything, so why bother?
This only confirms what
Trump's college professors have said about him.'Former Wharton Professor: ‘Trump Was the Dumbest G*ddamn Student I Ever Had’
Professor Kelley told me 100 times over three decades that “Donald Trump was the dumbest goddam student I ever had.” I remember his emphasis and inflection — it went like this: “Donald Trump was the dumbest goddamn student I ever had.” Kelley told me this after Trump had become a celebrity, but long before he was considered a political figure. Kelley often referred to Trump’s arrogance when he told the story that Trump came to Wharton thinking he already knew everything.

Donald Trump is shutting out opportunities to gain knowledge because he thinks he already knows everything.
When the arrogance is added to Trump’s emotional instability, the combination is not just dumb. It represents a danger to the country.

But he’s not good for Wharton’s image.
While obviously ambitious — “I’m going to be the king of New York real estate,” Trump told one professor — he passed through West Philadelphia without leaving a mark. The Boston Globe interviewed a number of his classmates and concluded that Trump “spoke up a lot but rarely shined in class” and “barely participated in campus activities.” He drove a green convertible and used aliases to buy and flip properties in the city.
It’s unclear what Trump took away from his time at Wharton, besides a sense of validation from being included in a group of “the smartest people.” He told the Globe that “one of the things it does is it gives you confidence... When you come out, you feel good about yourself.” (In a speech at last month’s Republican National Convention, his eldest son, Donald Jr., himself a Wharton graduate, said that Trump always “hung out with the guys on construction sites” and “valued their opinions as much, and often more, than the guys from Harvard and Wharton, locked away in offices away from the real work.” The anti-elitist swipe at the school was unexpected, to say the least, since Trump’s constant boasting about his Wharton education is explicitly elitist.)
As noted in the above article, the Wharton School that Trump boasts of having attended, is not at all eager to acknowledge that Trump ever attended it, and it concludes with this observation:
In July, on Medium, Wharton students posted an open letter to Trump, rejecting his bigotry and arguing that a Trump presidency would hurt the country. Since then, more than 3,800 members of the Wharton community have signed the letter, including students, alumni and at least five current professors. (None of the five returned my emails.) “Your insistence on exclusion and scapegoating would be bad for business and bad for the American economy,” the letter reads. “An intolerant America is a less productive, less innovative, and less competitive America.”
The letter is brief, sharp and clear — the most public rebuke of Trump that has emerged from Wharton. Still, it carries a prominent disclaimer, a mark of Wharton’s enduring discomfort with the man who has wrapped himself in the school’s name: “This letter reflects the personal views of its signatories only and is not affiliated with the Wharton School.”
