Trump's not-so-subtle "dog whistle": Obama wasn't qualified for Ivy League (VIDEO)

Trump: Obama wasn't qualified for Ivy League

In an exclusive interview with the AP, Donald Trump suggested that President Barack Obama was a poor student who didn't deserve to be admitted to the Ivy League universities he attended. (April 25) (/The Associated Press)

1. Disgusting.

It's not a dog whistle; it's a racist megaphone.
And so blatantly wrong: Obama's intelligence is so obvious that it seeps from his very skin.
Magna cum Laude from Harvard Law not good enough for the Donald? Good grief.

3. "seeps from his very skin"

GREAT way to put it!

By the way, I listened to Trump last night on Anderson Cooper. Beyond belief and vomit-inducing. Also kept telling myself "this can't be real".

2. Trump again proves any idiot can be born rich.

But only a HUGE IDIOT can go bankrupt owning a casino.

5. Trump is getting the attention he needs and wants with these comments.

Tip of the hat to DU for being so obliging.

7. Amazing.

A student who wasn't "qualified" to get into the school, manages to not only graduate magna cum laude, but also becomes editor of the Harvard Law Review at the end of his freshman year. He's pretty slick to get ALL of those professors in on his little scam, eh?
