Trump’s angry niece said in her anti-Trump book that Trump paid a smart friend of his to take the SAT for him. But that’s now been debunked by the widow of the man who she names:
NY POST – Ex-tennis star Pam Shriver pushed back against the explosive allegation in a tell-all memoir by President Trump’s niece that he had hired pal Joe Shapiro — the former pro’s late husband — to take the SATs for him.
Mary Trump wrote in “Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man” that Trump enlisted the help of Shapiro to take the exam so he could get the scores needed to transfer from Fordham to the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.
“To hedge his bets he enlisted Joe Shapiro, a smart kid with a reputation for being a good test taker to take his SATs for him,” Mary Trump wrote in her upcoming book, ABC News reported.
“That was much easier to pull on in the days before photo IDs and computerized records. Donald, who never lacked for funds, paid his buddy well,” she wrote without providing proof or attribution.
Here’s the brief video of Shriver having to defend her dead husband:

After Shriver posted this, ABC’s Jon Karl noted the conclusion for anyone confused about her statement: “The widow of the man who Mary Trump alleges took the SAT test for @realDonaldTrump says her husband didn’t meet Donald Trump until he was already a student at UPenn — in other words, after Trump took the SAT.”
Another lie about Trump debunked.
