By Aaron Blake Aaron Blake Senior political reporter, writing for The Fix Email Bio Follow March 5 at 4:57 PM Last week, Michael Cohen revealed that he threatened academic institutions not to release Donald Trump’s school records. Turns out, he might have undersold the effort.
But this newest effort is actually from 2011, when Trump was considering challenging Barack Obama in his 2012 reelection race. That actually places it much closer to when Trump was routinely attacking Obama for not releasing his own academic records. The day after the AP story published, the Telegraph posted video of a Trump interview in which he said the same thing. While Trump first brought Obama’s academic records up in the context of potential affirmative action, he would later suggest, also without evidence, that they might include something revelatory about Obama’s birth place.
That's so terrible and pertinent . If it's shown he had bad grades he surely will re-sign. Obama showed us his grades through all the schools he attended except the Indonesian Muslim school. No one had the guts to ask them, Remember ? He got a well, no one has actually seen them
How pathetic and insecure realDonaldTrump is to actively suppress his HS grades. I guess he's even dumber than we thought
jeannefisher17 FFS=DUMPS GRADES. THE END! 😜
If we can just get trumps high school report cards it will PROVE once and for all that he is not very smart and republicans will surely turn on him. Foolproof plan!
What was there to hide
Pretty easy to get Trump's HS records. Fordham and Penn have them in their registrar's files.
Lol
And it's important to know Trump's grades from sixty years ago because...
morgfair Maybe it involved people that buried Jimmy Hoffa somewhere back in '75.?
Do we really need to see his grades? Hell no! We all know he is a marginal performer.
More than his grades & Tax returns, would like to see his super-secret IQ Test score. Many time he had claimed to be a genius and often calls people dumbs. He even insulted mind of genius Stephen Hawking, who said: “Trump is bad, very bad”, elected by “lowest common denominator”
if bad grades bring wealth and US presidency then something is wrong with the academic evaluation system
Not as extensive as hiding Obama’s.
The pathology of Trump's lying and hypocrisy are absolutely staggering. He is the epitome of moral depravity. The GOP's embrace of Trumpism in the 21st century speaks more than any historian ever could to the fundamental corruption and rot that has infected modern Republicans.

Where’s Obama’s grades btw?
Anyone recall the brawl of 'Little Rocket Man' vs 'Dotard'?. . . . A war of words which many speculated was the catalyst for NK to beat ottowarmbier ? NotTooBright Donald.
If they were good, he wouldn’t be so scared, so we’ll assume realDonaldTrump was a dummy, like his professor previously stated.
kinda like hussein's birthplace, right?
What were Obama’s grades, he never released them, I don’t remember the MSM obsessing over seeing them. MSM told us he was a genius for 8 years, without providing any proof. His job performance as POTUS was well below the level of genius, but u didn’t seem to care?
Slow news day?
F or incomplete or Dropped or DPO (daddy paid off)
WHO CARES ABOUT HIS GRADES WHEN HE IS DOING SUCH A PHENOMENAL JOB. HE MUST BE A NATURAL GENIUS TO ACHIEVE ALL HE HAS WITH 'LOW' GRADES AS YOU ARE PROSECUTING. IN THAT CASE, THAT WOULD EVEN MAKE HIM THE GREATEST PRESIDENT OF ALL TIME!
Where is the article about Obama not releasing his grades ohhhhh that’s right you’re a biased newspaper and you would never treat Obama the way you treat trump. Oh your owner Jeff Bezoz or whatever has a person feud with trump. Ya wapo is biased at all mmhmmm.
realDonaldTrump We don't need to see his grades. We know how stupid he is. Just look at his failed businesses and his presidency.
Are you serious? Geez. Silly dems... you fall for this crap. EVERY. DAMN. TIME. Who cares No, really.
And I’ll bet ya did a deep dive into Obama’s grade’s didn’t ya🤬🥴🤪
Donnie is bigly tremendously not so stable genius realDonaldTrump
How 'bout that 'AOC', huh? 800K in embezzlement? WOPR really picks 'em. Whew-doggy!
I'm sure he was far from a 4.0 student, but who gives a damn? I realize digging up dirt on the POTUS is sorta your job description, but you guys should be digging for much more important dirt (such as CIA troublemaking in Venezuela)
All that effort and we all already know he's dumb. And lazy. And a fraud.
Are they right next to his tax returns!!
Analysis: WaPo needs Twitter clicks.
realDonaldTrump could not have been better than a D student, he shows us daily he's intellectually deficient by his poor speech and inept writing ability. ANY transcript that rears it's pointy little head now will be altered.
Who cares ?
Because he's a dummy 😂
The man can't spell hamburger is all you need to know about Donald Trump's grades.
Remember when they wouldn’t release the last president’s transcripts either?
Pffft... I could care less about his grades. That was all out out on that show the other night for the world to see. He was sent to military school because of it and a few other things. Graduated top of his class.
No one cares---he's over 70
How bad are they?!
We already know they are bad. Otherwise he would have bragged about them every chance he got.
Presidential Harassment
In a shallow grave.....?
The likely explanation is he was a poor student and daddy bought him his diploma with a sizable donation to the school.
Imagine how BAD they must be if even Donald Trump, the man who knows no shame is ashamed of them.
Reads WP headline... The world collective rolls its eyes.
That is hilarious. Now do Obama and why he had his transcripts sealed. And you might want to find out why he's the only 'constitutional scholar' who's never been published...
And Obama’s affirmative action
Because POTUS is a special kind of stupid.
