So, Trump has a Bachelor's [View all]

Degree in Economics, University of Pennsylvania, the Wharton School. Since he is rapidly reducing us to a third world country (no offense intended to up and coming young nations,) and since he is likely to cause an economic collapse sometime this year, or at least a recession, I imagine that he is an embarrassment to the College. I'd like to know the name of the Professor who taught him that other countries bear the costs of tariffs.

Anyhow, I got to thinking about this degree. Everyone usually thinks that once the degree is earned, it's yours. However, it can be revoked under the right circumstances. An earned degree is a lot harder to revoke than an honorary degree. If you commit academic crimes, lies, etc. while you are earning it, and they find out, you can have it revoked. It is a very rare thing. But, Mary Trump said that Donald paid someone to take his SAT, so that would be academic dishonesty, enough to revoke his degree if they want to investigate it. Cause you know, it seems like quite an embarrassment to their school, because this crap he's doing is more than a simple mistake. It is malicious.

He's had several honorary degrees revoked, after Jan. 6th occurred. That wasn't hard. Start an insurrection, and schools don't want to honor you anymore. Makes sense. I also think that the University of Pennsylvania has leverage against this crap he is visiting on other schools. The first thing I'd do is start the investigation to revoke his degree. Amirite?

If the Wharton School is proud to have an alumni who became President, and then a Dictator, then there is something wrong with them. They shouldn't let the likes of trump tear up their good reputation. But the ETTD doctrine is in effect, so maybe it's too late.
