Where Fred and Mary sent him at age 13 and left him until 18 because they didn't want to deal with the little malignant narcissist monster who caused problems at his school either.

Cosplay as a soldier years ago.. Cosplay of being a mob boss and successful businessman throughout his business career. Now he’s cosplaying as a competent and successful leader, which couldn’t be farther from the truth. He’ll never be Obama. He hasn’t got a toe in reality. His whole life is a lie.

Imposter syndrome throughout his life, he's played at all these things, and often at the most stereotypical. I feel he's been cosplaying a "rich" person for years. He may have been born into wealth but the way he shows it is like a poor persons idea of rich people.

trump proves that money can’t wash the white out of white trash. I’ve had friends that lived in New York during his business years and they said he was always lying, thieving, scum. I was going to move to Atlantic City as a Chef, and EVERYONE told me, if you want to get paid, “Don’t work for trump”

So true. Watching Malcolm in the middle now, Older brother was sent to military school because he's nothing but a trouble maker & only gets worse...kinda like real life PS: love the name Grumpass & Granny💜

... and it rarely works, but since it is a boarding school at least the parents don't have to deal with the brat for a while! So I guess success, from the parent's point of view. At least short term.

@supermarina.bsky.social

That's ... great! Because the school will teach the kids values and give them character and make them behave well and respect others, right? I assume THOSE parents won't do that.

It wasn’t actually affiliated with the military at all. It was a private “school” where rich people in NY sent their problem sons. While there T tried to push his roommate out of a 2nd floor window. He won medals for making his bed & being on the bowling team. Like so much, it was bs.

His posting that opens the perfect opportunity for a journalist to ask why he didn’t volunteer for Vietnam. When he says bone spurs, ask why he didn’t volunteer for a noncombat role.

New York Military Academy is not the U.S. Military Academy. The former is where you send you privileged but delinquent child. That later is among the most honorable institutions in this country filled with the highest achievers among our youth who have volunteered their near futures to our service.

Thank you for your sacrifice and service. From a granddaughter of vet who fought in Germany and France And my Father Vietnam and Korea Yes I was told horrible truths of war as a child, from them. I believe I was told so I would never support someone like Pedolf

When you took the oath of enlistment you offered everything up to and including going to war. And although the U.S. government decided to only send you to an office, you did exactly what you were ordered to the best of your abilities. So yes, your service is worth some thankfulness.

I am glad you didn’t, I would not wish it on my worst enemy. It scars you for life, I am sickened at the lack of humanity on display by our government right now. You have nothing to be ashamed of Sir, you served honorably and that is all that can be asked of any citizen.

My husband was in Vietnam with the Navy for a couple of months, then cushy shore duty in Japan until they discharged him early for medical reasons. He hates it when we visit the wall and people thank him for his service as he's looking for the names of his childhood friends who died there.

I think that was supposed to be engaging in acquiring knives. Apparently he had gathered quite a collection of knives and given his already violent and abusive behavior, it was a concern. Although it seems military school did not alleviate his violent need for control. www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontli...

Remember: Back in the day, parents would threaten to send you to military school as punishment because you were incorrigible at home and school. This isn't the look Trump thinks it is. 🙄

I was the shy, quiet, obedient child. But, my mom could be unstable. I think she may have been bi-polar... now looking back. Anyway... she would threaten me and my younger sister with Military school when there were minor infractions in her world. (didn't know there were clothes in the dryer, etc)

@nauga54.bsky.social

I played "Army" when I was a kid and followed that up by enlisting in the US Army from 73-76. Trump gets sent away to military school to get out of his folks hair and learn some responsibility (1 out of 2 isn't bad) and followed the Trump family tradition of never serving his country's military.

numbedup.bsky.social
@numbedup.bsky.social

It's ridiculous. But also, I just wonder exactly when it was that he developed his debilitating bone spurs condition, that was attested to by a friend of his daddy's a few years later to keep him out of the REAL military...

@thegoldstonegirl.bsky.social

His school is closed now. NYMA (NY Military Academy) use to play my kid’s hippie dippie private school in softball. The cadets always tried to cheat because they couldn’t face losing to the artists.

It was a rich kids’ juvie. He did something nasty as a youth & was separated from his 4 siblings & neighborhood to this private “school”, where he tried to push his roommate out the window & won a ribbon for making his bed. Also for bowling team. #PedoLoserPrezident #TrumpEpsteinCabal

Just wonder if the maga mates understand that bad boy Donnie is wearing a soldier uniform from his wayward boys school. I understand that’s where he acquired bone spurs.😏

Correct me if I’m wrong I never remember any childhood friends come forward to vouch for him when he ran for president. He was probably the kid in the neighborhood when other kids seen him coming played hide and seek. Neighborhood bully and nut.

Hahahaha. Not "The" US Military Academy at West Point...which he hopes will be inferred from his wording, but just private HS junior rotc boarding school. Anyone can in there with $$$

Obviously your parents recognized early on that you had no self discipline and they were unsuccessful in instilling discipline so they shipped you off to military school and they failed also. You became a careening, egocentric agent of chaos.

And it wasn’t a national academy. The New York Military Academy is a prep school for grades 9-12. And it’s really Trump’s kind of place. They went bankrupt in 2015.

@boxspringstuff.bsky.social

Current enrollment is about 100 with a 6 to 1 student-teacher ratio. my old high school has 2,759 students in grades 9-12 with a student-teacher ratio of 16 to 1. The art department had more students in a single period over 4 classes than NYMA's entire enrollment.

Sidenote: It was really something when I went from my small town to college. Finding out that my roommate’s high school had more students than my home town had people!

He was sent to military school. The place of last resort when parents don’t know what to do with their troubled sons. Mind you, they had the financial ability to send him away to ANY private school and they CHOSE a military school.

It was just a military themed high school in Orange County, New York. Cadet Bone Spurs should “hold his manhood cheap whilst any speaks” who actually served and fought for their country. (With respect to Shakespeare’s Henry V.)
