The former classmates of Donald Trump at the University of Pennsylvania’s prestigious Wharton business school told the New York Daily News on Tuesday they don’t even remember him.

The real estate mogul and GOP presidential candidate has said he was at the top of his class during his two years there, but his fellow students disputed that.

Nancy Hano, a former classmate, told the New York Daily News that Trump was “not known on campus for any reason at all.”

In many of his speeches, including those for his 2016 presidential bid, Trump has bragged of being a man of great academic success and a gifted businessman. Yet Trump himself has repeatedly refused to release his college transcripts.

In 2012, Trump, who has doubted President Obama was a natural-born citizen, famously offered to pay $5 million to charity if the President would release his own college records and passport application.

    OK so now T.Rump has become the “Sarah Palin” replacement. Why can’t we have some honest journalism here. Why is it always a Palin, Bachman, Engles, Gomert now T.Rump. What is Sanders doing, what is ALEC doing where is the evil Karl Rove and what deeds is he up to. Not comic strip stuff, skulduggery, manipulations by lobbyists, a good discussion with Santorum and Huckabee about why they think their theocratic views can be accepted under our constitution or how they stands are much different from sharia?

  3. Maybe we need to borrow a line from ole Trump himself and demand a copy of his transcripts!

  4. Nancy had better watch her back. She was mean to The Donald, and he’ll get her for that.
