Below is a letter written by President Donald Trump.
If you were a professor at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business, evaluating a student seeking an MBA, how would you grade the letter? Use a scale from 0 to 100, as applied in a course on public communications by executives addressing the public.
Please explain the reasoning behind your grade in detail. Include specific strengths, weaknesses, and notable rhetorical or stylistic choices that influenced your assessment.
Ensure your feedback is constructive, detailed, and descriptive, and refer to the student as Donald throughout your comments.
However, be ruthless in identifying any inaccuracies, distortions, grammatical or spelling errors, and any misleading or manipulative elements.
Finally, based on the evidence in the letter, state whether you believe Donald is smarter than a fifth grader, and justify your conclusion.
