“ “He was a pretty rough fellow when he was small,” recalled his father, who packed off his obstreperous teen-age son to the New York Military Academy in Cornwall-on-Hudson for his high school education. According to some of his peers in the industry, Donald Trump has not really changed much from those boyhood days. (New York Times, August 7, 1983) ”
“ Donald Trump, the new president-elect of the United States, once said he punched a teacher in the face when he was in the second grade. So did he? Here's what he wrote in his 1987 book, "The Art of the Deal": “Even in elementary school, I was a very assertive, aggressive kid. In the second grade I actually gave a teacher a black eye. I punched my music teacher because I didn't think he knew anything about music and I almost got expelled. I'm not proud of that, but it's clear evidence that even early on I had a tendency to stand up and make my opinions known in a forceful way. The difference now is that I like to use my brain instead of my fists.” (Washington Post, November 13, 2016) ”

“ According to the book "Trump Revealed: An American Journey of Ambition, Ego, Money, and Power," by Washington Post reporters Michael Kranish and Marc Fisher, Trump attended the private Kew-Forest School in Forest Hills, N.Y., where he often got into trouble. He and his friends would disrupt class "with wisecracks and unruly behavior, such as throwing spitballs and playing racing chairs with desks." (Washington Post, November 13, 2016) ”
High School (Queens)
New York Military Academy
Wharton
“ Just about every profile ever written about Mr. Trump states that he graduated first in his class at Wharton in 1968. Although the school refused comment, the commencement program from 1968 does not list him as graduating with honors of any kind. (New York Times, April 8, 1984) ”
“ "I took a lot of finance courses at Wharton," says New York real estate tycoon Donald Trump," and first they taught you all the rules and regulations. Then they taught you that those rules and regulations are really meant to be broken; it's the person who can create new ideas who is really going to be the success." (Forbes, March 9, 1987) ”

“ So Trump shakes dozens of hands these days, outwardly smiling, inwardly repulsed. [...] A shake even for a guy, recently, who'd just walked out of the men's room and strode by to say hello. “‘Mr. Trump, Mr. Trump, I'm such a big fan,’” Trump recalls, sourly reliving the moment. "Now his hands are wet, and he's drying them off, shaking them in the air. Disgusting. But if I don't shake his hand, he'll be devastated. If I do, it won't be so bad. I just won't eat." He says this with a Jewish mother's resignation. "So, I shake his hand and I don't eat." (Washington Post, September 9, 2004) ”
“ The plan to bring two Americans stricken by the ebola virus back to the United States for treatment has sparked a backlash on social media from some people terrified that the incurable disease will spread here as it has in western Africa. "Stop the EBOLA patients from entering the U.S.," Donald Trump tweeted Friday. "Treat them, at the highest level, over there. THE UNITED STATES HAS ENOUGH PROBLEMS!"

“ Compiling the net worth valuations for billionaires requires a huge amount of legwork and estimation, but determining their golf handicaps is a lot easier and far more precise. That's thanks to the U.S. Golf Association's online database. [...] One of the the lowest we saw: Donald J. Trump, who controls a few courses himself, at 4.4. (Forbes, March 26, 2007) ”
“ One morning in the mid-1990s, Mark Mulvoy was on the sixth hole of Long Island's Garden City Golf Club with Donald Trump when the skies opened, and they ducked for cover under a nearby awning. The rain let up a few moments later, and Mulvoy, then the managing editor of Sports Illustrated, returned to the green. When he got there, he found a ball 10 feet from the pin that he didn't remember seeing before the storm.
"Who the hell's ball is this?" he said.
"That's me," the real estate mogul said, according to Mulvoy.
"Donald, give me a f---ing break," Mulvoy recalls telling him. "You've been hacking away in the ... weeds all day. You do not lie there."
"Ahh, the guys I play with cheat all the time," he recalls Trump replying. "I have to cheat just to keep up with them."
It's a story that the current Republican front-runner hotly denies. "I don't even know who he is," Trump said when asked about Mulvoy's account."I don't drop balls, I don't move balls. I don't need to." ( Washington Post, September 5, 2015) ”
“ "The worst celebrity golf cheat?" the rock star Alice Cooper said in a 2012 interview with Q magazine. "I wish I could tell you that. It would be a shocker. I played with Donald Trump one time. That's all I'm going to say." ("I've never played with Alice Cooper," Trump said. "That's a terrible thing to say about people, especially me.") (Washington Post, September 5, 2015) ”
“ "Golf is like bicycle shorts: It can reveal a lot about a guy," said Rick Reilly, the sportswriter who hit the links with Trump for his 2004 book "Who's Your Caddy?" - in which Reilly lugged clubs for several of the world's best golfers and VIP amateurs. As for Trump? "When it comes to cheating, he's an 11 on a scale of one to 10," Reilly said. [...] Trump disputes Reilly's entire story as well: "I always thought he was a terrible writer," he said. "I absolutely killed him, and he wrote very inaccurately. I would say that he's a very dishonest writer.... I never took a gimme chip shot.... I don't do gimme chip shots. If I asked his approval, that's not cheating, number one. Number two, I never took one." (Washington Post, September 5, 2015) ”
