    You’re thinking of Trump now, as a deranged old man. It’s entirely possible he studied it back before he was a rambling incoherent loon. A lifetime of hamburders, drugs and privilege must really fuck a brain up.

        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 goddam student I ever had.” Dr. Kelley told me this after Trump had become a celebrity but long before he was considered 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.

        He was absolutely a dumbass this whole time.

          To be fair, for a professor, any student reading Hitler’s speeches on the side is very likely to either be a) the next Hannah Arendt or b) the dumbest goddamn student they’ll ever have.
