Trump Claims Obama Was A “Terrible Student,” Asks For College Transcripts

Real estate mogul Donald Trump has garnered plenty of publicity for asking Barack Obama to release his birth certificate, but now he’s asking the President to reveal something else: his college transcripts.

“I heard he was a terrible student,” Trump said during an interview with the Associated Press. “I’m certainly looking into it. Let him show his records.”

While Obama did not release his academic records during the 2008 campaign, it is known that he served as President of the Harvard Law Review and ultimately graduated from the school magna cum laude. He completed work as an undergrad at Columbia University.

Trump took his criticism one step further by questioning Obama’s admittance to the two Ivy League schools.

“I have friends who have smart sons with great marks, great boards, great everything and they can’t get into Harvard,” Trump told the AP.

Trump has been flirting with a possible Presidential run. In a Gallup poll released last week on possible Republican candidates, he took first place, along with former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee.
