Trump says Georgetown Law School unfairly canceled Tiffany''s graduation

because she was a Trump and such a great student...

(At a Kennedy Center gathering, today, with the Saudis) He noted that Tiffany was present with her husband, Michael Boulos, and claimed she had been a “great student” at Georgetown University Law Center, where she had been a member of the Class of 2020.

“She finished really right at the top and we were proud of you. And she was so proud, and her graduation got canceled because of Covid — but I say if her name was something else, they probably wouldn‘t of canceled it,” Trump said.

snip

Although Tiffany Trump graduated from the Georgetown University Law School with a Juris Doctor degree that year, a review of the school’s online records by The Independent found that she did not earn cum laude honors with her degree, nor was she listed as being part of her class’ Order of the Coif honorees — a legal educational honor afforded to the top 10 percent of law school classes.

Grievance, pettiness, and vengeance are his animating forces.

My old way of thinking about leadership is that nobody would want to follow a person who always gripes about being a victim because they would see that person as weak.

My current way of thinking is that Trump blames the same entities that his MAGA followers do- they seem to have mutual feelings regarding their enemies and oppressors.

Her mother also was a piece of work and her care was borderline abuse as well as the Trump family inattention to her. She is lucky she's as together as she is. I can understand why she went into psychology.

My daughter spent her senior year in high school at home due to the Covid shutdown but at least got to go to graduation in person and masked.

I should add that she did quite well, although not the top student in her class, we were quite proud of her and didn't blame the school for having an issue with our surname.

to be ignored. Apparently, conspiracists believe everything is a conspiracy. Also wondered how she must've felt as she sat at that event. She knew that she didn't finish at the top of her class...and dad was publicly lying. Again.
