Why didn't Trump spend MILLIONS to hide his college records like Obama did?

I'm just curious.




With the thousands of reporters digging into Trump's past I'm sure one of you guys have ran across this answer for me.

Do you have a source for the first claim? Genuinely curious. I know they had been difficult to get a hold of, but I was not aware of money spent to make it so.

He didn't. Case closed. Now move your "genuine curiosity" on to something that isn't embarrassing.

Obama was presumed to be very smart so it may have been embarrassing to find out he got a C in freshman biology.

Everybody already presumes Trump is an idiot so some lesser grades don't hurt his narrative as much.

Either. BY LAW, grades are private. Any of us with university degrees is in exactly the same position: protected by the law.

Grades are indicative of work ethic and discipline, not intelligence, in any case.

You could get all 3 of mine if you tried hard enough. Why didn't Obama just release his - just like you want Trump to release his tax returns.

How did Bush's, Gore's, and Kerry's college grades get out - among others?

Presumably through illegal means. ETA: Kerry authorized the Navy to release his.

Probably because DJT didn't apply for foreign student aid and Barry Soetoro did!

Remember when there was a security breach at the State Department in 2008 and Barry's passport files were accessed ?

Guess who was head of the company where the folks that did the breaching worked?

Releasing tax returns is fairly standard protocol. Releasing transcripts is not. I actually believe that for high-level elected office like this it should be mandatory.

Alleged intellectual Bill Clinton would not allow his college transcripts released.

Try none other than John Brennan.


One hell of a coincidence, don't you think?
