Donald Trump and Donald Trump Jr.’s relationship has always been rocky. In her book “Raising Trump,” Donald Jr.’s mom, Ivana Trump, claims Donald was totally against giving his firstborn his moniker. “You can’t do that!” he allegedly insisted. “What if he’s a loser?” Clearly, Ivana won the fight and got her way. Still, when it came to Donald’s fear of his oldest son being a loser, Donald Jr.’s been trying to prove his dad wrong since he was a kid.
Donald Jr. followed the family tradition to please his dad, along with his sisters, Ivanka Trump and Tiffany Trump. They used a mix of good old-fashioned nepotism and a sizeable chunk of cold hard cash to attend the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. The Daily Pennsylvanian claims Trump Foundation tax records show that Donald could have splashed out up to $1.4 million to the University. Still, Donald Jr. had big shoes to fill. The Washington Post notes that Donald boasted that his Wharton degree was “super genius stuff.”

However, Donald Jr. favored the bros over books ethos throughout college. And his hard-partying frat frolics didn’t go down well with his “super genius” father. A former Wharton pal posted on Facebook that Donald wasn’t a fan of his son, and the feeling was reciprocal. Scott Melker claimed that the former president once punched Donald Jr. so hard for wearing a Yankees shirt that he knocked him out in front of his classmates.
