VIDEO Trump Is TERRIFIED His Grades Will Get Out

Trump Is TERRIFIED His Grades Will Get Out In a recent episode of "The Damage Report," hosts John Iadarola and Jayar Jackson discussed the revelations made during Michael Cohen's testimony regarding Donald Trump's academic records. Titled "Trump Is TERRIFIED His Grades Will Get Out," the video explores the lengths to which Trump allegedly went to prevent the release of his academic performance, including threats made to various educational institutions.

Key Highlights:​

• Cohen's Revelations: During his testimony, Michael Cohen disclosed that he was directed by Trump to intimidate schools and the College Board not to release his grades or SAT scores. This highlights a stark contrast between Trump's public persona of being brilliant and the lengths he took to hide his academic shortcomings.
• Irony of Obama's Grades: The discussion notes the irony of Trump criticizing Barack Obama for not releasing his educational records back in 2011, while he himself was engaging in similar behavior to suppress his own. This contradiction underscores themes of projection and hypocrisy often associated with Trump's public persona.
• Threatening Letters: Cohen mentioned that he had letters to prove Trump's attempts to threaten civil and criminal actions against schools if they ever disclosed his academic records. This revelation adds another layer to the ongoing narrative surrounding Trump's transparency and credibility.
• Call for Transparency: The hosts encouraged viewers to demand Trump's academic transcripts, mirroring the requests he made regarding Obama's records. It was suggested that if Trump expects transparency from others, he should be willing to share his own educational history.

Host John Iadarola opens this segment of The Damage Report by introducing a notable moment from Michael Cohen's congressional testimony regarding Donald Trump's academic records. At 0:14, the video cuts to C-SPAN/CBS News coverage of Cohen reading his statement under oath, recounting how he was instructed to send letters threatening high schools, colleges, and the College Board with civil and criminal action if Trump's grades or SAT scores were ever disclosed. Cohen also notes the irony of Trump having aggressively demanded President Obama's academic records in 2011 while hiding his own. Returning to the desk around 1:00, Iadarola and co-host Wosny Lambre discuss the claim, pointing out that if congressional Republicans wanted to disprove Cohen, they could easily attempt to verify the threat letters directly with the academic institutions. The clip wraps up with Iadarola jokingly calling for the release of the transcripts before cutting to the show's standard outro. It is an interesting clip that captures a memorable exchange from the hearings, backed up by the physical letter Cohen submitted into evidence. The hosts' commentary effectively highlights the political hypocrisy surrounding the topic without overcomplicating the point.
