Formative Years at New York Military School

This vintage photo captures a young Donald Trump exuding pride and confidence in his military uniform while at New York Military School. Starting in 1959, Donald traded everyday attire for the crisp, disciplined uniform of the academy, graduating in 1964. His tenure at the school wasn’t just about drills and discipline; it also saw him actively engaged in sports, playing baseball and soccer.

These activities highlighted his competitive nature, later defining his business career. Imagine a young Donald, marching confidently across the campus, already displaying the distinct self-assurance he’s recognized for today—an early glimpse into his future as a formidable figure in business and politics.
