the big item from the Donald yesterday was his statement that Obama probably was not qualified to go to an Ivy league school. Trump was relying on Obama's failure to release his college transcript. According to Trump, that makes him a questionable student. Trump should know better.
Obama graduated from Harvard Law School magna cum laude. I graduated from Harvard law school a few years earlier than Obama, so I am familiar with what the magna cum laude designation means. Based strictly on his grades, Obama was at least in the top 15% of his class. Harvard Law School is one of the most selective institutions in the country, so just being admitted there is a sign that one is an outstanding student. Graduating in the top of the class, however, means that one has a great legal mind. In other words, Trump is full of it.
Of course, I said that being at the top of the class at HLS means one has a great legal mind; it does not mean that one can lead or that one has common sense. There is no question, however, that president Obama is a very bright individual.
I just wish that Donald Trump would find some other method for promoting his TV show.
