Michael Wolff claims Donald Trump failed to get into Havard

  • Michael Wolff suggests Trump's animosity towards Harvard stems from his own rejection from the Ivy League school.
  • Wolff's theory contrasts with claims that Trump's focus on Harvard is due to his son Barron's alleged rejection, which Melania Trump denies.
  • A White House spokesperson dismissed Wolff and The Daily Beast, accusing them of spreading fake news and asserting Trump didn't need Harvard to succeed.
  • Past reports, including claims from Trump's niece Mary Trump and his late sister Maryanne Trump Barry, allege Trump had someone take his college entrance exams.
  • Trump has recently targeted Harvard by removing federal funding and demanding information on international students, citing antisemitism as a factor.
