Over the weekend, a man who attended high school with conservative businessman Donald J. Trump just shared something incredible about Trump on Facebook… and he is "aghast" by how the liberal media is treating him! His name is Peter Ticktin, who is now a lawyer. Ticktin and Trump both attended the New York Military Academy. And while Ticktin doesn't get involved in politics, he felt like it was time to speak out about his former classmate.
His post on Facebook, which is going viral, explained, "If you saw a guy get publicly smeared, and you knew him well from the days you were friends and seniors together in high school, if you knew him to be a decent and honest man, would you want to say something? This is why I need to share what I know."
And he is no fan of Marco Rubio's:
I was aghast at watching last night's debate. It was a set-up. The moderators, Cruz, and Rubio were all like little alligators trying to take a bite out of Trump. Yes, Donald Trump has had some failures, but he has been exceedingly successful. None of this came out. Instead, there was a general attack. Rubio simply makes up lies. He pretends that Trump has small hands and makes fun of him for something which isn't even real. He pretends that Donald wets his pants, and makes fun of him, as though it was true, and then he calls Donald Trump a "Bully."
And, Ticktin noted that everyone in the class has nothing bad to say about Trump: "Of the 99 guys (no girls in those days) in our class, there is not one who I know who has a bad word to say about Donald Trump."
And he added:
People don't really change much from the ages of 17 and 18, and I know this guy. I know him to be a good decent guy. We lived and breathed an Honor Code in those years. It wasn't just a rule. It was our way of life. Neither Donald, nor any other cadet who graduated with us would ever lie, cheat, or steal from a fellow cadet. These values became irreversibly intertwined in the fabric of our personalities, of who we are.
And it's clear Ticktin believes Trump is the best man to clean up the mess President Barack Obama has made during two terms:
[Trump] is a decent honest guy who loves this country, and who is willing to sacrifice so much of what is left of his life, because he knows that this country needs to be fixed, and that it is going to require someone who can do the job. He just doesn't see anything around him other than political hacks, so he is willing to take this huge responsibility.
Here is the full post, which has been "Liked" more than 20,000 times in 48 hours. It's amazing to watch a former Trump classmate willing to publicly take on the biased media and explain the truth about Donald Trump:
What an incredible announcement from a man who knows Donald Trump well. Clearly, Trump is a man of great character and would make a great President.
If I vote for Trump, it won’t be because of the bilge I’ve read from posters at FR and their cult of worship for the man. It will be because I think he will be better for the Country than any scummy, commie Rat, hands down.

Perhaps all those “Cult worshipers” became aware of this fact long before it came along and hit you in the head. That you do consider the fact he MIGHT be not such a bad guy after all, is a point scored by you. Give those with greater insight a point as well. There are no ‘cult worshipers’ just persons who feel a MAN stepped forward to get a job done that for so many years many had failed or never attempted to set right. Thank you for your post.
I never thought he was so horrible in the first place. I do think he is unfiltered and has said and done things that people think in their head but don’t let out. Whatever. I don’t believe 95% of the junk posted about Cruz or Trump anyway. It’s all gutter slime.
I do beg to differ with you on the posters though. I have read many posts with people giving Trump praise for all sorts of things rediculous. Rgardless, FReep on and may the best man win!
Oh I know. Hillary is going to throw the kitchen sink at him which is why I don’t mind so much he’s getting it from the candidates and GOPe now.
People are going to desert trump for Hillary?
On grounds of honesty?
If the lies are big enough and frequent enough. Supposedly lots of independents and dems plan to vote Trump currently.
There's nothing evil about laying bricks.
Trump is going to allow the media to take over his campaign with their lies and propaganda?
No
Yore not paying attention
Yeah, I know. He’s great. Really great, believe me. He’s so great, we’re going to get tired of how great he is.
I’m not saying he’s great.
Since when did entire organizations outwardly declare hatred for a president?
Come on
