I don’t know how Fordham did their report cards, but I can’t imagine getting 3 credits for a class you received an ‘F’ in. That’s not generally how it works (but how that reads). So I’m going to call this a fake unless proven otherwise.
Now anyone can have a shitty semester at college. Claiming to be brilliant while trying to bury the evidence of poor scholastic performance is another matter.
It probably just means that it was a 3-credit course. Shouldn’t be too hard to find contemporaneous Fordham grade reports to confirm or refute that this has the correct format.
To add to that, based on his age, Trump wouldn’t have had what appears to be a laser printed report card on tri-color paper with a highlight used on total and GPA.
4 of the 5 classes also don’t have class numbers, which are always present on reports, and there is far too much explanation at the bottom of the grading system, something which didn’t really come into play until lately with schools trying to change the time honored values for what was representative for each grade.
Don’t get me wrong, some of that could be true for Trumps time period in college, but as far as a fake goes, it’s pretty crappy.
Calling it, he leaked the fake himself… My Junior Woodchuck manual had a strategy for breaking the news for bad grades. You get up during dinner and announce you got a big fat F. After the shocked silence you look ashamed and then admit that you didn’t get an F, you only got a C but you will try better next time.
My first go through college was architecture. If you look at my transcripts you would think some fix was in. If I gave a crap about the class, i got an A. if I didn’t, the D I got was generous.
This has got to be from some idiot like O’Keefe. It’s a win/win - if some of the lamestream media falls for it you get to call them out on it, if not, it’s a fun joke!
