Tiffany Trump graduated from the Georgetown Law in May 2020, and shortly thereafter, America’s then-celebrity law student seemed to fade into obscurity. It is unknown whether she ever took the bar exam, and it unknown whether she ever secured a job within the legal profession. But on the campaign trail, her father, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, is bringing his daughter’s law degree back to the fore.
Last night, at a campaign rally in North Carolina, the elder Trump took some time to boast about his daughter’s academic success while at Georgetown Law. “She was a great student, and she went to a fantastic law school, graduated No. 1 in her class,” he said.

Unfortunately, that comment about her class rank was a lie. NBC News has the details:
Tiffany Trump is not on a list of honors graduates for the 2020 class published on the school’s website. The Georgetown University Law Center also indicated on its website that it does not rank students.
Poor Tiffany. Her father is bragging about her nonexistent law school accolades and getting debunked on a national stage. The embarrassment here is real, and we bet the would-be lawyer isn’t too pleased.
We’re still waiting to see what Tiffany Trump will do with her law degree — and we’re certain that it’s not this.
