Most of them don't brag about it to prove that they didn't say something rude to a grieving widow, tho.

Seriously? I'd say that 99.9% of the people I know never mention their educational level, unless it is the topic under discussion.

ETA: I don't "hate" trump, but I am thoroughly disgusted by his character, attitude, and behavior. I am dismayed that the American people got saddled with him because he is incompetent, and is dragging this country down to the gutter. He is at the very core, an enemy of the constitution, and a clear and present danger to the security of this country's future. But if you think it is because I "hate" trump, go ahead and think that. Hope it makes you sleep better at night.

Do you realize what a BA costs?


If your car cost that much, you'd brag about it.


Apparently having a jd degree does not guarantee competence or ethical behavior.

He would run off the Mexicans and they'd get all those high-paying, low-skilled jobs. He would put women and blacks in their place and white men would reign supreme again.

Somehow it didn't sink in that he was a con man not a wizard.
He might be in the running to be a Grand Wizard, however......

hmmm... I still value education. It is unfortunate that trump didn't value it enough for it to affect him in any way.

The problem is, we've heard him speak. We know better.
Funny, that's EXACTLY how liberals behave all the time. Liberals can't go 10 seconds without bragging about how much smarter and better educated they are than everyone else.

He has words! The best words! He knows more than the Generals do! He's SO smart - he learned his foreign policy from watching 'the shows'.

Healthcare gonna be easy! Gonna defeat ISIS in 30 days! Gonna have a beautiful health plan in place on Day 1!

So that’s all a BA is to you? Something to be bought like a commodity?

And I can assure you that getting a JD from Harvard or Yale indicates a certain level of competence, though you are very correct that it doesn’t guarantee ethical behavior. However, need I remind you that it was Trump who suggested that his Ivy League Bachelor’s degree was one of the things that made him a civil person?
