Leadership in Line

During his tenure at the New York Military School, Donald Trump was often seen in cadet uniform, embodying the discipline and leadership he was known for. This phase of his life was marked by a significant moment on October 12, 1963, when he led the school’s drill team as the commanding officer in the prestigious Columbus Day Parade.

Despite being exempted from military service later for medical reasons, Donald’s academic pursuits continued robustly, culminating in a degree in economics from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in 1968. His time at military school laid a foundation of leadership that he carried forward in his career.
