Yes, but he is one of the least well educated presidents.

Washington, Jackson, Van Buren, Taylor, Fillmore, Lincoln, and Grover Cleveland got a high school (ish) level of education.

Andrew Johnson got tutored while he was an apprentice.

In modern times, I think only republicans have not gone further than undergrad (Reagan, HW Bush, Trump), going back to Roosevelt (FD not Teddy).

And oddly HW Bush was the most qualified candidate to hold the office as an ex-VPOTUS, chair of the RNC, UN Ambassador, CIA chief, Congressmen, and an ex-war hero. Even more oddly was that despite these qualifications he was merely okay at being POTUS

I'm not the person you've been replying to.

I'm just answering with who has been less educated, which is decidedly different than how much of a dumbass they are. A position Trump holds a massive lead on compared to any other president in history (quite possibly any "leader" in history)

I'm asking if paying for a diploma really counts as "education."

OK, so you've just decided to be an ass because I answered a question.

Noted.

He is among a handful that only have a college degree. Most POTUS had post-graduate educations.

So should I just repeat my question, or what?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

No, he's not the worst. There are others with less or the equivalent of high school only or less.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

You sure? Paying for a diploma doesn't necessarily result in education.

Yes Andrew Jackson, Trump's favorite, had almost nothing
