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.

There was a a great story on Film Producer Don Simpson, he was Jerry Bruckheimer’s producing partner. Don graduated from high school in Alaska, had never been to a reunion. So when he finally hits it big as a A List Producer he decided he will attend a reunion.

So he flies to Alaska in his private jet with a bevy of beautiful women, charters a helicopter to fly to the reunion.

He arrives with all of these women in tow, dressed in a white linen suit. He stays about an hour or so to mingle with everyone, show off really, gets back on his helicopter and goes home and never attends another reunion, but he had his fun, made an entrance, and got his bragging rights.

Now that is just about what I would have expected of Obama, so why has he not done it????????????

How come the media never put the same diligence in reaching out to Obama's former classmates?

Do we know ANY of Obama's classmates?

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

We need a “bully” for president! I’m way past all these “limp dicks” we’ve had since WWII. (Excepting Ronald Reagan).

“I keep harking back to Anita Dunn”

Wasn’t she the one who “loved” Mousey Dung?

He could have probably played pro ball as a pitcher. I think he threw 80 miles an hour,"

80 mph is not pro caliber and Military School is not Military caliber. Not in that era anyway.

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

Or anyone else for that matter. He seems to have a dearth of friends or acquaintances. Barack who?

Oh, there were the stories about he and the Choom Gang, of course, i.e., disciplined, character building and all that! (sarc/off)

I heard someone on a talk show recenlt who said all the teachers at Obama’s school were mad when he was hired as an ‘associate professor’

They were all worried he would leapfrog them to a tenured spot.

But it was made known he was only there to pad his resume and he was being groomed for politics. This was a perfect spot because he only had to work about 3 hours a week, and had a lot of time to campaign.

Since they were all probably libtards they all probab;y went along with it.
