Trump's achievements at NYMA [the New York Military Academy], in both academia and sports, are a key chapter in the story he tells of his lifelong success.

He began investigating - and Slate has published his findings. This is the kind of story I absolutely love. Not because it destroys a Trump myth (or not only because of that), but because it's public knowledge that is not questioned (or not given much thought) and someone decides let's dig down deep, really deep, and find out if it's true.
