Q I know this has been asked for years, but one thing that people -- at least on the -- among his opponents, continue to bring up is the -- his college records. MR. CARNEY: Right. This is a Donald Trump question, which I think -- Q That’s the Donald Trump. MR. CARNEY: -- he’s the one who brings it up the most. Q But what’s the answer to that particular question? MR. CARNEY: I would refer you to the campaign. It is preposterous -- this is from the guy who insisted that he didn’t believe the President was born in the United States. And it is funny, every once in a while when I sit back in my office and remember all the things that seemed to be the most important issue of the day, and there were briefings after briefings where that was the most important issue of the day, to the point where we had to solicit the long form of the President’s birth certificate. And again, the President’s record on transparency is extremely sound. He has provided the kind of documentation that candidates for President have now, by tradition, provided for 30 years. And he believes it’s the right thing to do. https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/2012/07/12/press-briefing-press-secretary-jay-carney-71212
.@MittRomney--if Obama gets wise tonight just ask for his college records & transcripts--he will quiet down quickly.
When I say conman, I’m talking about a man who declares himself brilliant but directed me to threaten his high school, his colleges, and the College Board to never release his grades or SAT scores. As I mentioned, I’m giving the Committee today copies of a letter I sent at Mr. Trump’s direction threatening these schools with civil and criminal actions if Mr. Trump’s grades or SAT scores were ever disclosed without his permission. These are Exhibit 6. The irony wasn’t lost on me at the time that Mr. Trump in 2011 had strongly criticized President Obama for not releasing his grades. As you can see in Exhibit 7, Mr. Trump declared “Let him show his records” after calling President Obama “a terrible student.” https://docs.house.gov/meetings/GO/GO00/20190227/108969/HHRG-116-GO00-Wstate-CohenM-20190227.pdf

The late William T. Kelley, who taught Trump at the University of Pennsylvania, said, “Donald Trump was the dumbest goddamn student I ever had.”
