Trump cheated on his SAT by paying someone to take it for him, according to Mary Trum

Trump follows a predictable pattern of behavior. Him cheating on the SATs should not be any more shocking than finding out Brett Kavanaugh drank beer in High School.

A new development: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/widow-trumps-friend-pushes-back-mary-trump-sat/story?id=71678433
In the new book from Mary Trump, the niece of President Donald Trump, one of the most explosive allegations is that the president hired a friend of his named Joe Shapiro to take the SAT exam so that he would have a better shot at transferring from college at Fordham University to the more prestigious Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.

Now, the widow of a man named Joe Shapiro said if the book is referencing her late husband, who was a friend of Trump, she is confident the accusation is false.


The glitch in the glitch is that Shriver didn't meet Shapiro until almost 30 years after the SATs.

So she would have no way of knowing whether it's true, or not. Oops.

Well, there is this:
2. PMs are Private Messages, they will remain Private... This will be strictly adhered to by all involved on this board. We cannot access anybody's PMs and we don't plan on acquiring the ability to do so. The only reason we would access another's PMs would be if we were required to by law, or if they are reported by the recipient using the reporting function which will place the PM in an area readable by the Admin Team. Reputation comments are not PMs and should be treated as any publicly accessible information.

:laugh: Right?
So why mention when you get them and what's in them? More than once? Just asking;)

Let me remind you of one poster here posting a conspiracy theory about another poster, and telling you to "PM me for the details." I don't suppose you reported said poster for that. :laugh:

And that's assuming it's even the same Ben Shapiro. I'm sure that's a common name.

Could be, but I'm confident it's the same person. I'm not the same person I was 30 years ago. I think that is normal; people mature, gain experience and grow wiser. I have no doubt Shriver is describing the Joe Shapiro she knew, but there's no way for her to know college boy he was.

Still, regardless if there's a name mix up or not, I'm inclined to believe Mary Trump's version.

This complicates the narrative presented in Trump’s niece Mary Trump’s upcoming memoir “Too Much and Never Enough.” In the statement, Shriver said that Trump and her late spouse didn’t meet until they were both students at the University of Pennsylvania. Mary Trump claims that a guy named Joe Shapiro helped Trump get the grades he’d need to later transfer from Fordham University to UPenn’s Wharton School and that the ploy happened while Trump was still in high school. Both things can’t be true.

But, there’s another option: It could be another Joe Shapiro.

Trump would have taken his SATs sometime in 1963 or ‘64 before matriculating into his first college, Fordham. The earliest available census is from 1940. So, while we do have a few hits for Joseph Shapiros, they’re all too old to have passed for a high schooler in the ‘60s, barring some kind of “Benjamin Button” scenario. (The ones I found in Manhattan and Queens County were born in the earlier 1900s.) But from that early data, we can conclude that around Trump’s old stomping grounds it was not a very uncommon name, though it’s not a name seen in Trump’s graduating class from the New York Military Academy.

So, with Simon & Schuster standing by its author and no Joe Shapiro stepping forward, we appear to be at an impasse.

The book says things you don't want to hear or believe. Neither of us know whether her book is well written or not. My guess, given her education, is it is incredibly well written.

Unlikely since she obviously embellishes or outright lies in it at several points we do know about. It is absolutely clear Donald was not "institutionalized for most of his adult life" as one example. That can't be explained away. Either she doesn't know her uncle well, is lying her ass off, or is just stupid, saying that is incredibly dumb. That's one example.

Amsterdam's oldest prostitutes have been thrust into the spotlight with the release of their memoirs and a documentary film about their lives. The film, Meet the Fokkens, follows 70-year-old identical twins Louise and Martine Fokken as they share secrets of selling sex in the city's famous red light district.

"Useful and efficient", that made me laugh. :laugh:
