Donald Trump’s academic record is once again under fire after new evidence surrounding his SAT exams came to light via Trump’s niece Mary.
In her explosive tell-all book, “Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man,” Mary Trump alleged that her dimwitted uncle Donald paid someone to take the SAT for him so he could be admitted to the University of Pennsylvania.
“As a high school student in Queens… Donald Trump paid someone to take a precollegiate test, the SAT, on his behalf,” Mary wrote in the book, which was widely released to the American public in late-July after a judge dismissed attempts to block it.
Soon afterward, several University of Pennsylvania professors called for the school to investigate the allegations to determine whether Donald Trump cheated to get into the school. If proven, Trump could be stripped of his degree.

Provost Wendell Pritchett orginally told faculty member Eric Orts and the others that more evidence is needed to trigger an investigation. Well, now he has it.
Earlier this month, Marry Trump released recordings of Trump’s sister Maryanne Trump Barry spilling the beans on her brother, including his unfitness for office. But she also admitted that she tried getting him into college herself and confirmed that Donald paid someone to take his SAT for him.
“I drove him around New York City to try to get him into college,” Barry said. “[He] went to Fordham for one year [actually two years] and then he got into University of Pennsylvania because he had somebody take the exams.”
That’s Trump’s own sister saying that while unknowingly being recorded. That should be enough evidence to justify an investigation into Trump’s college admission. Orts certainly believes so, which is why he sent copies of the recording to the provost. He has not heard back yet, but Trump should definitely be concerned since his academic records could end up being released, something he has threatened lawsuits over in the past because he doesn’t want anyone to know what his grades were. Likely, they would confirm that he’s a “f*cking moron” as former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said.
Of course, we do have an idea of what Trump’s grades were since one of his former professors called him “the dumbest goddamn student I ever had.”
Seriously, an investigation is warranted.
