President Donald Trump told a crowd in Hebron, Kentucky, this week that he possesses “much better blood” than most people because his uncle spent over four decades teaching at MIT.
Donald Trump tells Kentucky crowd he has ‘much better blood’
Trump veered off script during an economic speech while discussing the ongoing war between the U.S. and Iran. He directed a jab toward Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie, one of only two House Republicans who recently supported an Iran war powers resolution. The measure aimed to restrict Trump’s authority to pursue military action in the Middle East without congressional approval.
“Massie is a complete and total disaster as a congressman and frankly as a human being,” Trump told the Kentucky audience. “He is mad, disloyal to the Republican Party, disloyal to the people of Kentucky, and most importantly, disloyal to the United States of America, and he’s got to be voted out of office as soon as possible.” The president acknowledged Massie’s educational background but dismissed its importance.
“You know he’s got one thing going,” the president said. “He went to a good college, but I know a lot of stupid people that went to a good college.” Donald Trump then pivoted to his own family credentials, boasting about his uncle, John G. Trump, who taught at MIT for 41 years. “That means I have much better blood,” he added. “But I went to the hardest college of all to get into, the Wharton School of Finance. That means I’m real smart” (via People).
This isn’t the first time Trump has highlighted his uncle’s MIT tenure. During a July 2025 energy event in Pennsylvania, Trump similarly praised John G. Trump’s academic career (via CNN).
The university did acknowledge the elder Trump’s contributions, describing him as a “highly valued member of the MIT community throughout his tenure as a researcher, innovator, entrepreneur, teacher, and colleague.”
