   That part is well documented, including on Wikipedia, and Trump himself   
   has said that he was a high achiever (he would say that, wouldn't he?)   
   at the military academy. The part that he disputes is the reason for his   
   being sent there. A book written by his niece says that his family   
   decided to send him there because he was a bully and an uncontrollable   
   adolescent who didn't fit into a normal school.   
      
   It's not surprising that PTD didn't know that at the time, because it   
   took some time for the story to come out.
