Honestly, these are the photos that we need to be sharing. The guy is a joke and needs to be made fun of to take him down a few pegs.

I would assume anyone old enough to be his childhood coach has probably passed away by now.

In President Donald Trump’s memory, he was a high school baseball star.

“I was supposed to be a pro baseball player,” Donald Trump wrote in 2004. “At the New York Military Academy, I was captain of the baseball team. I worked hard like everyone else, but I had good talent.”

In a 2010 interview with MTV, Trump said, again, “I was supposed to be a professional baseball player,” this time adding a flourish: “Fortunately, I decided to go into real estate instead.” Three years later, Trump inflated his claim on Twitter, pegging himself not just as a pro prospect but the best player in the state.

And Trump tweeted: I played football and baseball, sorry, but said to be the best bball player in N.Y. State-ask coach Ted Dobias-said best he ever coached.

It was in 1964 and it was in a little local paper. It simply said, TRUMP HOMERS TO WIN THE GAME. I just loved it and I will never forget it

Okay, this is just something else. Did his dad pay the local paper to add his name? Or did they make a fake paper just for Donald like his fake "Time Man of the Year" he has hanging on the wall? Either way, I don't think he knows it's fake, if it isn't a complete fabrication, and that is hilarious.

AND if this is his highlight? Al Bundy "Married with Children" vibes. Or maybe Napoleon Dynamite Uncle Rico. He's a god damned joke!

I knew Ted Dobias as he was one of my mentors at NYMA and was still there after I graduated. He said Trump was always a bully. He didn’t have anything else to say about him. I briefly met Trump and his two sons while I was there too, as NYMA had to court money to keep the place going and give parades to donors and distinguished alumni. He made his daughter stay in the limo the entire time. The entire visit was about 5 hours long. It was weird as fuck as this is a co-ed school. Anyway, he didn’t give a good vibe then and I always knew he was a scumbag fraud because the NY/NJ news always told on him because he’s crude and has no class. Also nobody likes racists and the Trump family is just a bunch of weirdos and racists. Look up their family history it’s all right there. It’s sad so many people are indoctrinated from the Apprentice. He created them through that outlet. No doubt about that.

That said, Ted was probably just lying to him. Ted was a very smart guy. Smart enough to know not to fuck with Trump in those days as Fred was a real POS.

NYMA got sold to the Chinese btw.

Just being 6 ft+ alone is good enough to make you the top of your sport in a small private school. Netherlands obviously excluded. Classic case of small pond syndrome.
