if something related to former president
donald trump makes the news you can
expect donald trump jr to add his two
cents and even if it doesn't involve the
former president trump jr loves weighing
in on current events during the height
of the college admissions scandal that
concluded with actors felicity huffman
and laurie laflin serving prison
sentences trump jr took to twitter to
weigh in on the matter when huffman
joked that she was learning new college
hacks from her desperate housewives
co-stars trump jr wrote on twitter i'm
learning new ones as we speak stay tuned
in the same post the former president's
son also retweeted a now deleted message
from huffman naturally people were
questioning where trump jr went to
school especially given his propensity
to snark on others in their schooling so
where did donald trump jr go to college
well since he grew up in new york city
it's safe to say that donald trump jr
was insulated by privilege before
heading off to college trump jr was
educated at the prestigious hill school
in pottstown pennsylvania during his
father's 2020 campaign for president
trump jr tried to appeal to the fox and
friends working class audience by saying
that he grew up in the rust belt trump
jr told the show's hosts eric and i we
went to boarding school in central
pennsylvania we sort of went through you
know our formative years in the rust
belt but according to the hill schools
website in 2021 boarding school tuition
totals more than 66 000 a year while the
day school runs more than 45 000 a year
according to the u.s census bureau the
average middle-class salary as of 2019
is just a little over sixty one thousand
dollars and a study by the university of
wisconsin reveals that the average rust
belt worker won't make sixty one
thousand dollars a year in their
lifetime that means that the average
middle-class person not to mention the
average rust belt resident with whom
trump jr tried to connect cannot afford
to send their children to the school
where he and his siblings went when it
was time to go to college trump jr
attended the same school as his father
the university of pennsylvania's wharton
school of business however it should be
noted that according to the man himself
donald trump jr didn't have the best
reputation in college in a 2004 profile
for new york magazine long before his
father ran for president donald trump jr
admitted that while attending wharton he
had a reputation for drinking trump jr
told the outlet to be fairly candid i
used to drink a lot and party pretty
hard and it wasn't something that i was
particularly good at i was good at it
but i couldn't do it in moderation a
former classmate of trump juniors
confirmed on facebook that the 45th
president's son was quite fond of
alcohol writing donald jr was a drunk in
college every memory i have of him is of
him stumbling around on campus falling
over or passing out in public with his
arm and a sling from injuring himself
while drinking and in a 2017 people
profile it was revealed that trump jr's
reputation reportedly extended to women
as well a friend who went to fraternity
parties at the university of
pennsylvania recall everyone was warned
to stay away from donald trump in 2000
donald trump jr graduated from morton
with a bachelor's degree in economics
but according to the philadelphia
enquirer trump jr had no business going
off on felicity huffman or anyone else
involved in the college admissions
scandal because he too benefited from
his connections in order to get into the
prestigious school the outlet reported
that a quote backdoor practice got trump
jr in the door at wharton and children
from wealthy families benefit from it
all the time the newspaper reported
around the time trump's son donald jr
and daughter ivanka began classes at
penn in 1996 and 2000 respectively the
university and its private manhattan
clubhouse benefited from more than 1.4
million dollars in pledged donations
from trump while this is certainly an
unfair practice it is by no means
illegal
