Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

Are you a high school student? No he did not get anything wrong. Hezbolla is classified as a terrorist organization. The military wing is a puppet of the Iranians, complete with Iranian army officers.The political wing is "part of the Lebanon government." In general, everything in the middle east is very complicated.

"Trump’s latest blunder was made during an appearance in the Rose Garden with Lebanon’s Prime Minister, Saad Hariri, on July 25th. “Lebanon is on the front lines in the fight against ISIS, Al Qaeda, and Hezbollah,” Trump pronounced. He got the basics really wrong. Hezbollah is actually part of the Lebanese government—and has been for a quarter century—with seats in parliament and Cabinet posts. Lebanon’s Christian President, Michel Aoun, has been allied with Hezbollah for a decade. As Trump spoke, Hezbollah’s militia and the Lebanese Army were fighting ISIS and an Al Qaeda affiliate occupying a chunk of eastern Lebanon along its border with Syria. They won."

You right wing Americans are dim.

Fact: Clintons charity is a highly rated outfit.

Fact: Clinton did not sell uranium, that is a GOP-Putin lie and has been proved to be a lie. You post lie after lie, you righties are brainwashed.

Fact: Trumpettes support a man who bankrupted CASINOS! Let that sink in for a sec. Stupid people come in and spend money on machines designed to take their money, and on games that are rigged so they can't statistically win, and Trump BANKRUPTED the casinos? And this is what you call smart?

HAHAHAHAHAAA LOL Dwumpf.

True, not only does he need to do quite a bit of physical exercise, he should try exercising his brain once in a while.

Well he does golf all the time on the U.S. taxpayers dime on his golf courses, thereby funneling yanks tax money into his accounts.

We 'Yanks' do not like him at all. Trumpettes are NOT Americans!

There are only a few Trumpettes posting under a bunch of names on this thread. Two of the primary Trumpettes are HardLoper and jamin.

I recently attended a talk given by one of the nation's top college admissions consultants. He flat out told us that most colleges prefer rich kids. The reason is simple: Rich kids can afford to pay more in tuition.

Actually, it is future alumni donations they are looking for. That creates the legacy.

The main way wealth gets you in is what I already outlined in my earlier post.

Future alumni donations were not mentioned. I don't see how the school would be able to count on that even if they took it into consideration.

(1) According to the expert, the easiest way to get your kid in is to give a huge donation to the school. Not in the future, but now! But that's a very small number of entries.

(1) Yes, I already said that.

(2) It is very easy for schools to be able to count on it. Simple matter of mathematics. They don't have to get it right in every case. All they have to know is that there is a strong correlation between rich parents and future rich alumni who give to their alma mater.

You may be right, but the picture I get of admissions officers is that they are more concerned with filling the current class so that:

A) They have a strong student body.

B) Their financial numbers balance for the coming school year.

Schools do not charge higher tuition just because a student/family is rich.

NYTimes floats some bullshit about Pence running against Trump in 2020 and Pence slams the hammer down on them.

Actually, they do.

If a kid can't afford the "sticker price" tuition, the school offers a merit scholarship or a need-based scholarship (sometimes both). But no matter what you call it, that's just a discount off the full price.

So the rich kids get preference simply because they don't need a discount.

LOL ... just like Trump claiming he was going to lock her up. Trump proved hammerless.

Pence will run in 2020. Trump is DONE.

Many people get into elite schools because their parents made donations to the school. Doesn't even matter if the parent is an alumni. They donate $1 million to a school and, what do you know, their kid gets accepted. Happens all the time.

Tuition is the same at all schools. Rich and poor kids can get scholarships that are not needs based.

A) They have a strong student body.

B) Their financial numbers balance for the coming school year.

It varies quite widely by school, of course. But many of the elite schools could thrive financially if they never charged a single dime for tuition from any student.

To illustrate, the following schools have endowments per student as shown:

Amherst College: $1.2 million

CalTech: $1.0 million

Harvard: $1.7 million

MIT: $1.2 million

Pomona College: $1.3 million

Princeton: $2.8 million

Stanford: $1.3 million

Swarthmore: $1.2 million

Williams College: $1.1 million

Yale: $2.1 million

So, yes, they want a strong student body. But no, they really aren't very concerned with getting their financial numbers to balance next year. Considerations regarding donations to their endowment dominant any financial discussions.
