Trump and the 'Kids'

In the early 1960s....Donald Trump went off to two years of university at Fordham (Penn).  Not much is really said about Fordham, but it's a private college run by the Jesuits. 

Here's the two key things about this college.  First....it's designed as a research college, where you develop reasoning and analysis (key skills for people in life).  Second, they don't produce losers.....just about everyone who comes out of this college....goes onto a remarkable career.

But here's the thing....Trump only stays there two years, and then transfers over to the Wharton School of Business (under the University of Penn).

During this two-year period, he's there for education over finance and economics.  This is another private school, which produces only 'winners'.  Wharton, in today's world?  Once you graduate, you can virtually guarantee yourself a starting salary of $160k a year.  It's one of those places where the tuition is a 'killer' ($74k a year), but you can probably pay it back in five years, and guarantee yourself to a millionaire status by age thirty-five.

So when these journalists walk into the conference room and think they can bully Tump (like Bush or Obama).....they are at a serious disadvantage.  He's able to remember facts, presentations, and assemble data....to 'out-reason' the 'kids'.  The 'kids' may think they have college education and are at his level, but they really aren't.  They can't reason, or perform analysis....at his level.

It's not that he's smarter.....he's simply got the skills and tools to grasp things, and move on. 

As you watch the conferences live and view the 'kids' at work....remember, they are in the room with a guy who is thinking at a level above them, and their antics or bully-chat basically have no affect on him.  He's not just embarrassing them.....but he's forcing them to either improve their skill level or reasoning ability.....or be let-go.
