Fact-checking Trump's Truthiness About Himself Yeilds a Huge Fact Gap

This comedic/ fact based video investigates four of Trump’s ‘truths’ that he claims the media has painted incorrectly, such as his depiction of Trump as an uncivil man. Trump also claims to have been a ‘nice student’ despite giving a music teacher a black eye in the second grade – because, the young Mozart claimed; the teacher “didn’t know anything about music.” We’ll also see where Trump and truth diverge about Trump’s claims to be ‘a very intelligent person’ and the modest owner of ‘one of the best memories of all time.’

Additionally, the late Professor William T. Kelley, who taught Marketing at Wharton School of Business and Finance, University of Pennsylvania, remembered Donald Trump extremely well. The following, relayed by a friend of the Professor, was an opinion formed long before Trump’s belly-flop into politics.

Kelley told me 100 times over three decades that “Donald Trump was the dumbest goddam student I ever had.” I remember his emphasis and inflection — it went like this — “Donald Trump was the dumbest goddam student I ever had.” Dr. Kelley told me this after Trump had become a celebrity but long before he was considered a political figure. Dr. Kelley often referred to Trump’s arrogance when he told of this — that Trump came to Wharton thinking he already knew everything.
