Surprising no one, the man who said he graduated top of his class at Wharton -- or later backpedaled to "the highest grades possible" when his name wasn't found on any published class honors list -- the current US President, actually graduated two spots from the bottom of his class: 364 out of 366 according to Penn's archives.

Donald Trump didn't graduate top of his class, he barely made it out of college at all. According to Prof. William Kelley (by way of attorney Frank DiPrima) Trump was "the dumbest goddamn student I ever had!"

But did he really say 'top of" in terms of grades", maybe he meant "top of" in another category. I can think of many categories where he excels.

@the5thColumnist He was apparently top of his class for talking about himself.

@tankgrrl Has anyone found the two students who did worse than him?
How have they done in life?
What do they think of their former classmate?

@tankgrrl that doesn't say much tho, one of my primary school teachers said I was the dumbest student he'd ever had and tried to get my IQ† tested, so they could send me to a school for the mentally slow. According to the IQ test he was the stupid one

† IQ is a bullshit metric that happened to work in my favour in this case

Some of that came to light before. But MAGA followers handily ignored it. The question to me isn't how bad of a student he was, but the perplexing psychology of his followers who can't accept any disqualifying information about him.
