Trump: My uncle was the longest serving professor at MIT. That means I have much better blood.

Trumpy is at a rally in Kentucky.............



Trump: I know a lot of stupid people that went to a good college. My uncle was the longest serving professor at MIT. That means I have much better blood. But I went to the hardest college of all to get into, the Wharton school of finance, that means I'm real smart.

BREAKING: Trump, (In a Kermit The Frog voice) tells a crowd in Hebron, Kentucky how great our military is doing, before bragging about bringing energy prices down.

Note that as I write this:

- Gas prices are 45 CENTS HIGHER than when Biden left office
- Electricity prices are 13% higher than when Biden left office
- Jet Fuel is 50% higher than when Biden left office
- Diesel is $1.20 more expensive than when Biden left office.

Trump at the WH as he was leaving to go to Kentucky rally:

Trump: “We took out all of their mine ships in one night. The Strait of Hormuz is open.”

The facts as of right now:

Iran struck a Thai civilian vessel attempting to transit the Strait this afternoon.

Lloyd’s of London has not restored war risk insurance for Gulf shipping.

No major shipping company has resumed transits.
Marine Traffic shows vessels at anchor, not moving.
Iran’s foreign policy advisor said this morning: we decide when it ends.

Trump said the Iranian navy was destroyed. We kept finding ships to bomb.

Trump said ships were safely transiting. The Energy Secretary deleted the tweet. Karoline Leavitt corrected the record.

Now Trump says the Strait is open.


A Thai ship was struck today trying to find out.

Trumpy is jealous.



Trump: "The only thing I admired about Barack Hussein Obama, which was nothing actually. But the only thing is the way he was bob down the stairs. You talk about unpresidential. He's bob-- and I couldn't believe that he made it without at least a noticeable major fall."

Of course, we all know Trump never went to Wharton Business School. He went to the University of Pennsylvania as an undergraduate. His uncle was a professor at MIT but nowhere near the longest serving.

President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed his uncle was MIT's "longest serving professor." John Trump served as an MIT professor for 37 years (1936–1973), retiring at the university's then-mandatory retirement age of 65. His career at MIT spanned 51 years, including research staff and senior lecturer appointments before and after his professorship. According to Newsweek, other MIT professors have had longer tenures: Doc Edgerton remained active at MIT for nearly 62 years (1927–1989), and Gilbert Strang served as professor for 61 years
