It got worse when she went outside and the press asked her where she passed the bar exam because she claimed she was a lawyer. She said, when she went to China!

Allegedly she went to Pepperdine Law but never passed the bar exam. I can’t wait for law school classmates to come out of the woodwork with full details.

Holy shit. She did indeed say China.

Edit: Question was put to Trump, something along the lines of — you said she was an attorney, where did she pass the bar exam? What state did she pass the bar exam in? Trump looks over at her and she says, “China”

It's the other way around. Why do you think Xi and Putin got red carpet treatment and their pics hung up in the oval office?

She passed the bar exam.

"Examiner": What animal is drawn above the bar on this piece of paper.

Giraffe!

What animal is drawn below the bar?

Hippop... elephant!

You've passed!

I'd LOVE if she was outsmarting us all and her "China" comment was imitating Trump's way of saying it. But I don't think she is.
