    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!
