“Kaczynski was one of his students. Do you know who Kaczynski was? There’s very little difference between a madman and a genius,” Trump instructed the viewers. “I said, ‘What kind of a student was he, Uncle John—Dr. John Trump? I said, ‘What kind of a student?’ And he said, ‘Seriously good.’ He said he’d go around correcting everybody. But it didn’t work out too well for him.”
None of this ever occurred.
As CNN studies, Trump’s uncle died in 1985. Whereas Kaczynski’s streak of homicidal bombings started in 1978, his identification was unknown to the general public till his arrest in 1996—11 years after John Trump’s demise.

“We have no enrollment record or information that Ted Kaczynski ever attended MIT,” a spokesperson instructed CNN.
