You may have heard: Hillary Clinton is old, sick, shrill, bigoted, dishonest, murderous. But! Lest you run out of unflattering adjectives for the presidential hopeful, Donald Trump wants to throw one more on the pile: dumb.
That what he implied Monday, at least, by unleashing two tweets that were clearly aimed at Clinton's intelligence — or apparent lack thereof:
For the record, Clinton did indeed fail the bar exam in Washington, D.C., though she passed in Arkansas. She counts Wellesley College (ranked the fourth-best liberal arts college in the nation by U.S. News and World Report) as her undergraduate alma mater and attended Yale Law School — which means she has the same Ivy League chops as Trump, who graduated from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in 1968.
