2011-NY Military Academy told to: "Find Trump's academic records & help bury them"

The superintendent of the private school “came to me in a panic because he had been accosted by prominent, wealthy alumni of the school who were Mr. Trump’s friends” and who wanted to keep his records secret.

New: In 2011, days after Donald Trump challenged President Obama to “show his records” to prove that he hadn’t been a “terrible student,” the headmaster at New York Military Academy got an order from his boss: Find Trump’s academic records & help bury them

******

Former officials of the military academy where Trump went to high school say that wealthy alumni directed them to retrieve, remove and hide Trump's academic records.

The request came in 2011, days after Trump challenged Obama to "show his records."


*********

Said Jeffrey Coverdale: “I was given directives, part of which I could follow but part of which I could not, and that was handing them over to the trustees. I moved them elsewhere on campus where they could not be released. It’s the only time I ever moved an alumnus’s records.”

What was he so desparately trying to hide, both medically and academically?

"The president’s former longtime personal physician, Dr. Harold Bornstein, is alleging that the president’s then-White House aide and longtime bodyguard Keith Schiller, along with Trump Organization lawyer Alan Garten and another man, raided his office in February 2017 to take all of Trump’s medical records.

The White House Tuesday called it "standard procedure."....(more)

Trump was too stupid to get into the graduate school program at Wharton. In addition, trump did not graduate with honors. http://fortune.com/2015/08/14/donald-trump-wharton/

His school posted his graduate program that shows that he did not graduate with honor shttp://www.pennlive.com/news/2017/02/what_is_trumps_real_record_at.html

Remember when George W Bush's National Guard records just conveniently disappeared?? I'm sure it was just coincidence! Exactly the same.

12. There is only one reason why he would want to hide his academic records.

Because they would prove that he was an idiot. If he was as smart as he said he was, he would be proud to display them.

Face it, you moron. You are not or ever have been anything close to being a scholar. You are a fraud in every way.
