Interviews with cadets who knew him well and a close mentor reveal a more complex picture of Trumpâs experience at the school. As a maturing teenager, he began to exhibit some of the traits the world would come to know through his fame as a real estate mogul, reality TV star and White House contender. Even at an academy renowned for imposing strict standards on its cadets, Trump often managed to play by his own rules. He often left campus on weekends and drew the envy of fellow students for his habit of bringing attractive women to the school. He also stirred resentment from some in his orbit.--------------------Reading the whole article makes me like Trump even more!

And this same Washington Post couldn’t find their asses with a road map and a flashlight when it came to digging into Emperor Barky’s dubious past.

He was quieter and humbler than he is now, some classmates said, and did not brag about his familyâs wealth. âI remember having a conversation with him where he said his dad was a builder, and I said, âMy dad was a builder, too,âââ said Jeffrey Pollack, who was in A Company. It wasnât until several years later that Pollack picked up a news magazine, read about the Trump family fortune and realized what his classmate had meant.----------------Very positive trait

You mean to tell me he was a skirt chaser in his younger days. Why, that should disqualify him from running for president. Really WaPo is this the best you can do?

So how well did Trump do academically? Back then IQ test wasn’t a tamboo so he must’ve taken it

“He often left campus on weekends”
Yeh because every weekend Trump’s father made him come home and work on his various properties painting etc.

Oh my. Talk about desperate. Attacking Trump based on hearsay back when he was in military school? Just lame.

media find Trump’s classmates to contradict his story and automatically assume that story is true while Trump’s version is false

But Bill Clinton’s trip to Moscow during the cold war was off limits for discussion during his campaign.

This is great, they have to go back to the 60’s to dig up dirt when he was in high school. NEWS FLASH: Hazing was the norm in military schools up through the 90’s. Then they all got all pussified and lawsuit scared.

Friends and roommates have been interviewed. Most still have contact with him
One stated if there was a prank on campus DT was the first one called in. If he wasn’t directly involved he knew all the details. The word FUN seems to be used by each of them Lifelong friends is a term not used by O or HRC

Barack Hussein Obama has no military training whatsoever - even as being CinC. Barack Hussein Obama has no published official transcripts, papers, tests, quizzes or even a poem from his time, supposedly at THREE different US colleges and Universities.
I donât wanna hear a damn thing about Trumpâs prior education and/or military training.

Trump does learn from his mistakes, if this happened. Talk to his present employees and those who oversee his construction plus his contractors. Get a good overview.
To: SeeSharp
What about all the women that Bill Clinton assaulted? The mainstream media makes me sick.

Can’t wait to see the WaPo articles about Hillary’s involvement with Whitewater, cattle futures, ‘bimbo’ eruptions, etc.
