2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forum"When that kid (Trump) was 10, even then he was a little shit."
Check this out:
The Republican Party nominee in this year's US Presidential elections is known for expressing himself forcefully. And it seems that's nothing new.
In his 1987 book The Art of the Deal, Trump wrote:
"In the second grade I actually gave a teacher a black eye I punched my music teacher because I didn't think he knew anything about music and I almost got expelled."
The book, which he co-wrote with Tony Schwartz, also goes some way to explaining the young Trump's actions.
"Im not proud of that, but its clear evidence that even early on I had a tendency to stand up and make my opinions known in a very forceful way," Trump wrote.
"The difference now is that I use my brain instead of my fists."
The music teacher's verdict
Trump was later removed from Kew-Forest School in Forest Hill NY by his father and sent to a military school to "correct poor behaviour."
However none of Trump's schoolmates who nicknamed him 'The Trumpet' remembers the incident. And his music teacher, Charles Walker, who died last year, denied ever being punched.
When Walker heard that Trump was considering running for US President, he told his family gathered around his bed, "When that kid was 10, even then he was a little s**t."

BTW - I worked with the music teacher cited in the article back in the 1980s. He passed away last year.
