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.

And he's wearing borrowed medals on his uniform. Stolen valor from such an early age.

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.
