And if you got any rejection letters you could also add something along the lines of:
Harvard, Wharton, and ... Business Schools stated they were quite impressed with my credentials and academic achievements...

Well then, she did have some genuine qualifications

For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts
WASHINGTON—A deep national revulsion toward President Donald Trump has sent Canadians’ opinions of the United States plummeting to a level of antipathy never before seen in the 35 years a pollster has been asking.
A major Pew Research survey released on Monday found that just 43 per cent of Canadians hold a favourable view of the U.S., with 51 per cent holding an unfavourable view.
That is a steep decline since last year, the final year of Democrat Barack Obama’s presidency, when Pew found 65 per cent of Canadians favourably disposed to the U.S. And it is lower than even the low point of the unpopular presidency of Republican George W. Bush, when 55 per cent of Canadians were favourable.
At no time since at least the early 1980s, and likely much earlier, has a majority of Canadians held a negative view of our neighbour and ally.
“Maybe it was pretty bad in 1812,” joked Environics Institute executive director Keith Neuman, “but there’s no data for that.”
The rise of Trump has almost certainly caused the precipitous fall. Under Obama last year, 83 per cent of Canadians had confidence in the president to do the right thing in world affairs. Under Trump this year, it is a mere 22 per cent.
Perceptions of the U.S. have worsened dramatically on every continent since Trump’s election. Only in Russia has there been a significant improvement — 26 percentage points.
Pew has never found Canadians so displeased with the U.S. since it launched the survey in 2002. A recent Environics survey found a similarly historic result: 53 per cent of Canadians were unfavourable, the first majority disapproval since the firm started polling the issue in 1982.
“I don’t imagine it would have been lower in the ’60s or the ’70s,” Neuman said.
In the 1980s and 1990s, during the tenures of Republican Ronald Reagan and Democrat Bill Clinton, Environics found more than 78 per cent of Canadians favourable to the U.S. In lower-quality polls in the early 1940s and early 1960s, more than 30 per cent of Canadians said they wanted Canada to join the U.S.
Canadians dislike Trump for both his personality and his policies.
Ninety-two per cent think he is arrogant, 78 per cent think he is intolerant, 72 per cent think he is dangerous, Pew found. Just 16 per cent think he is well qualified to be president.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has replaced Obama as Canadians’ favourite world leader. Sixty-six per cent said they have confidence in her to do the right thing. Canadians have more confidence in Chinese President Xi Jinping (30 per cent) than in Trump, with Russian President Vladimir Putin (19 per cent) almost tied with Trump.
World confidence in Trump is far lower than it was in Obama. By country, a median of 22 per cent have confidence in Trump; it was 64 per cent for Obama. Opinions of the U.S. have “plummeted in a diverse set of countries from Latin America, North America, Europe, Asia and Africa,” Pew wrote.

Duane Bobick is giving Trump way too much credit--he's more like someone who never set foot in the ring, nor even saw a boxing match or a street fight.
Some pundit I saw on a news show over the weekend, (I forget who) said:
"Trump and Putin's meeting won't be two people sitting down to play chess. It's going to be on guy playing chess, and the other one playing Hungry Hungry Hippos..."
(I might have gone with Candy Land, but the point is well taken...)

In a poker game with Vladimir Putin, Il Boobce would be lucky to leave the table still in possession of his shoes...
