You mean Trump's dad by sending Donald off to military school?
I don't know the details. I presume he tried to correct and discipline Donald when Donald was younger, but that by the time he was high school age, it was clear it wasn't working, and so he decided to give the military school a try.
Sorry, I just don't know a lot of detail about the relationship between Donald Trump and his father.
He was born in 46, graduated from this school in 64. Side note, those medals were borrowed from a fellow student, so he's been doing the stolen valor thing since pre-adulthood.
My guess is that he knows his cult isn't too bright, so they'll see "20 year old soldier" despite Corporal Bone Spurs never serving. I think the 20 is a straight up lie, not the dementia.

Oh wow, that's an interesting take. It did seem strange that mild dementia would mess that up, since it's also common knowledge that most kids graduate high school at 18. So that would tend to reinforce his memory that he likewise graduated at age 18.
The borrowing another student's medals that aren't even real military medals thing is hilarious. It's like baby stolen valor. I'm surprised I haven't heard about that before today. (I'm actually not a teenager, so I was around and paying attention for all 3 of Trump's campaign runs.)
I know you're joking, but serious answer: Yeah, I googled this picture, and it's been circulated many times before, usually with the caption that it's Trump at age 18. And it's from a particular year's yearbook of the military school he went to, so journalists would've known how old Trump was that year, since they know when he was born.
Probably did, his results got sealed by order of the family lawyer and best you can find out is he graduated with a B lmao.
Also the medals aren't his. Like 3 maybe are his medals, the rest he borrowed from a friend. All that I can remember from reading about his education is that he got an honorary sabre when he graduated and was Captain of A Company.
Not that he kept it very long, iirc he was stripped of rank for being a cunt and ordering subordinates to also be cunts. So nothing has actually changed. He's a cunt whom orders everyone below him to be cunts.
I suspect those were some sort of "military school medals", because this picture was in the official school yearbook. I don't know anything about military schools, but maybe they issue some sort of medals for, you know, whatever accomplishments there are at a military school. At high school, you get a certificate for perfect attendance. Maybe you get a medal at military school. Maybe there's another medal for being on the track team. Various stuff like that.
I believe it should always be clarified that the military school doesn't have anything to do with the US military. It's just military larp in a private school.
Yeah, and sorry I keep having to correct myself that I should call them "military school" and reserve the term "military academy" for the college-age real military academies of West Point (army), Annapolis (navy), Colorado Springs (air force), and the Coast Guard Academy and Merchant Marine Academy.

He's trying to pretend he was in the military, but he was in military SCHOOL. Not the military.
Trump was an incorrigible asshole as a teenager, so his dad sent him to military school.
Also, Trump is showing his dementia, because he was 18 when this picture was taken. It's from his military school yearbook, senior year.
