On the other hand, Trump lied about being first in his class at Wharton. He did graduate after transferring in, not based on his marks, but because his family had "connections". He did not graduate at the head of his class, or with honors.
Anyone with a brain can listen to Obama and to Trump, and tell which one is the educated one. And no, it is not the orange guy that gets all his information from Breibart and Fox News.

"Graduation with Honors
1. A student who completes the requirements for the J.D. degree with distinction will receive the degree cum laude, magna cum laude, or summa cum laude.
5. The magna cum laude will be awarded to the next ten percent of the entire class.
6. The cum laude will be awarded to the next 30 percent of the entire class."
It seems half the class gets some kind of latin award. So, what is it worth?
Harvard Law Review
"Sixteen editors shall be selected through a holistic but anonymous review that takes into account all available information."
He got in for political reasons.
