And with respect to Trump himself, this part explains it all -

Soft, surly, and academically uninterested, Donald was disruptive in class—so much so that his father, a real-estate tycoon of the outer boroughs, shipped him off to military school when he was thirteen.


I knew kids growing up during the early-mid '70s who were similarly "disruptive in class" and rather than be sent to Daniel Boone (what was one of the public schools here in Philly for kids with disciple issues), they were sent to Valley Forge Military Academy.
