When Donald J. Trump made an appearance this spring at the New York Military Academy, his high school alma mater in Cornwall-on-Hudson, he spoke of it with gratitude and in glowing terms, describing it as “one of the really great military academies.”
“I had such incredible experiences here,” Mr. Trump told a crowd during a campaign stop in April.
But six years ago, when it was on the verge of closing under the weight of debt, and a small group from the school came to Trump Tower seeking financial assistance, Mr. Trump gave a swift and firm response: No.
“We were disappointed,” said Rich Pezzullo, an alumnus who attended the meeting, which took place as Mr. Trump was participating in an online real estate auction and ended when the winner of his Miss USA pageant showed up. “We thought he’d open up his checkbook,” Mr. Pezzullo said.

Trump hasn’t gone after the Clintons that much. He didn’t talk about their past much. He discussed the foundation and Hillary as SOS.
That would be one hell of a rope-a-dope.
Nuthin, brother (sister). Lofos sure as heck don’t read the rag anyhow. Those who do read it were already true believers in the Clintons. Pathetic.
This man has given tireless philanthropic effort to save this country. He has given well over $150 million of his own money FOR YOU!! There is no question that he is the greatest American since George Washington. May God Bless him and the nation of the United States of America. BUILD THE WALL!!
That one I know to be true, because I am that blind guy, from whom he has never bought a pencil. Just because I never sold pencils is irrelevant. Also, just because I am only in the process of going blind is also not important to this story. He never bought a pencil from me. Ergo he is a racist as well. Most likely a misogynist and xenophobe on top of it. All in all I know he is cheap man and a hater of the blind.
Right on! Fake but accurate!
Well maybe he didn’t give them anything because he knew they were fiscally irresponsible? Throwing good money after bad and all that. Wouldn’t be prudent.
