Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump has cited his high school experience at the New York Military Academy as having given him "more training militarily than a lot of the guys that go into the military."

In recent weeks, Business Insider reached out to several of Trump's former classmates at the school. They paint a picture of Trump as a star athlete who rose to become one of the highest-ranked members of his class. They also hinted at regular hazing and fighting that went on at the academy.

Obama seems to be the only pResident in history who didn’t have any classmates for the press to find.

Thanks for the laugh of the day.

They were too high to remember.

He’s very disciplined in certain situations. He’s a damn good listener. It’s noticeable trait of his children also.

Really, the Liberal media is so stuck in a rut. Remember the story of Mitt being a bully at prep school? Next they’ll be announcing that Harry Reid says Trump hasn’t paid any income tax in 10 years. Truly pathetic.

The MSM goes back 50 years hoping to find dirt.
Come back with nothing.

And you know the media tried. They tried to find something, anything from Obama's school days that would be even remotely flattering...a photograph, a paper, a reference in a yearbook...and they failed. Whatever they found, assuming they found something, was likely deemed "un-spinnable" into something positive.

Good article. Outside of Fox News and National Review I’m seeing very few negative things being said or written about Trump.

The media is dying to dig something really awful up on Trump, even when the person they're interviewing doesn't want to go there. Funny because the media routinely avoids digging when it comes to Democrats......not that I'm advocating digging up Mary Jo Kopechne.....it isn't even necessary. The facts have always been in plain sight.

I know someone who went to school with Trump. He thought Trump was a bully. I still will vote for Trump, however.

Wayne Allen Root was a student at Columbia, during the same time 0blama was supposedly a student. Root has said he doesn’t recall ever seeing 0....

....I just returned from New York, where I attended my 30th Columbia University reunion. I celebrated with my esteemed classmates. Everyone except Barack Obama. As usual- he wasn’t there. Not even a video greeting. Not a personalized letter to his classmates. Nothing. But worse, no one at our 30th reunion ever met him. The President of the United States is the ghost of Columbia University.

I keep harking back to Anita Dunn—candidate Obama’s PR person (her lawyer husband got a job in the O admin).

After he was safely elected, Dunn asserted the campaign did not answer media questions about O.....they let the media know ONLY what they wanted them to know.

Is there anyone from his Harvard Law Class that remembers him. I find it very strange that someone who became President does not even attend one reunion at any place he went to school, not even for bragging rights.

So true...which of 0’s college papers will they display at his *liebarry*?

Everything about this person has had to of been fabricated, otherwise it would be a simple task to have authentic stories/people come forward...from his school days.
