“Professor Kelley told me 100 times over three decades that ‘Donald Trump was the dumbest goddam student I ever had,'” DiPrima wrote for the Daily Kos.
DiPrima explained that Kelley told him this after Trump became a celebrity, but “long before” he was deemed a political figure.
“Dr. Kelley often referred to Trump’s arrogance when he told of this — that Trump came to Wharton thinking he already knew everything,” Di Prima added.
DiPrima’s revelation is the latest in the series of question over the US President’s academic record. According to The Daily Pennsylvania, Trump’s name was not on the Wharton Dean’s List in 1968, the year he graduated despite him allowing media to report for years that he graduated first in his class at Wharton. If he had performed as exceptionally well as is commonly believed, his name would be present.
