How much smaller than Trump was that other student? And who was the teacher he tried to "throw out a window"? Because I have a hard time seeing him raising a hand to anyone of equal size and strength. I think he is inherently a coward.

EDIT TO ADD: I looked up a June 2016 WaPo article about Trump's background. Trump claimed that he gave his second-grade teacher a black eye. When contacted, the teacher told reporters Trump never struck him. In short, another one of Trump's self-aggrandizing lies.

At military school, another cadet, Ted Levine, said he was roughly a foot shorter than Trump when he struck Trump with a boot and a broomstick in a fit of anger. Trump was trying to push him out a second-story window when two other cadets intervened.

It also appears that other times Trump resorted to fisticuffs were when he was with a gang of other kids picking on a lone opponent, or he greatly outsized his opposition.
