Trump Compares Military Prep School to Actually Being in the Military

Trump Compares Military Prep School to Actually Being in the Military

Later this month, a new biography of Donald Trump will be published, entitled Never Enough: Donald Trump and the Pursuit of Success. Written by Michael D’Antonio, a Pulitzer-prize winning former reporter, the book will no doubt anger many when they find out that Trump likened his time at an expensive military boarding school to “being in the military.”

Yes, he went there.

Trump was sent to the expensive ($31,000 per year today) New York Military Academy at Cornwall-on-Hudson, NY, in eighth grade after years of rowdy behavior at the Kew-Forest School in Queens, New York. Starting there in 1959, Trump remained there through his high school years, where he wore a uniform, participated in marching drills, and was expected to conform to a military-style hierarchy. Trump said his experience there “gave him more training militarily than a lot of the guys that go into the military.”

Let that sink in.

After graduation, Trump avoided the Vietnam War through deferments, but told D’Antonio, “Anyway so I never had to do that, but I felt that I was in the military in the true sense because I dealt with those people.”
