Trump in the 1964 NYMA yearbook

The early life of Donald Trump, the 45th and 47th president of the United States, began with his birth on June 14, 1946, in the borough of Queens in New York City. Donald Trump's father was Fred Trump, a real-estate developer; his mother Mary Anne Trump was a Scottish immigrant. Donald was enrolled at age five at the Kew-Forest School, a private school in Queens. When Donald was in seventh grade, Fred discovered that his son was secretly going into Manhattan to obtain knives. Donald was sent to the New York Military Academy (NYMA); he graduated in May 1964. Trump attended Fordham University from 1964 to 1966, studying economics. His college enrollment—and later a medical exemption—allowed him to defer the Vietnam War draft. In his sophomore year, seeking a larger business network, Trump applied to transfer to the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, an Ivy League school favored by his father. Trump graduated from Penn in May 1968 with a Bachelor of Science in economics. (Full article...)
