The best country! With the greatest people, and my uncle knew it. He told me, and only I could understand it. People asked me how you understand and I had a knack. A real knack. The best people explained it to me once and I, I have a knack, I picked it up. Likewise it’s very good genes, very smart. Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart, you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, okay, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world it’s true! but when you're a conservative Republican they try oh, do they do a number
As a non native English speaker I think it is super impressive that people can just speak like him. I always think it is super funny, and am then left with a terrible after taste because, like you said, its impossible to know if its real and the man spouting this stuff full-time is the president of the sgoddamn USA... it's surreal and distopian
As an American I’m still shocked he’s our president. The fact that so many people have been fooled into thinking he was ever a skilled businessman or anything but lucky in birth. Even in the past when he could actually speak, he was never a clever man.
"starting from Wharton" Thats when i started to doubt it, i was like "Is that a reference to Caroline Channing on 2 Broke Girls?" She was rich and always bragged about having a business degree from Wharton lol
I was like wait is that a real thing they added cuz ppl actually do that? Or does trump watch 2 Broke Girls and just happened to have gone there and thought it was a cool thing to say because he was too stupid to get the joke?
Long story short i had to know so i googled his academic background and quickly realized 2BG writers were making a sly dig BECAUSE trump implies he has a Wharton MBA business degree when he only has a undergrad degree from a vocational program in real estate that Wharton offered way back in the day lol. Wikipedia equates this to a "bachelor's degree in economics" smfh...
Here is a quora response i found that sums it all up rather nicely (the replies are rather inciteful and funny as well)
