That probably makes her better educated than the current POTUS.

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).

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 know how to read usernames, thanks.

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

[-] curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 months ago

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

Noted.

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

[-] RowRowRowYourBot@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

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

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

So should I just repeat my question, or what?

[-] RowRowRowYourBot@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

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

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

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

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