However, back when Trump was coming up, when you had a male child that was getting into trouble, you sent him to military school. This was true not just for the rich. The reason was if they got into too much trouble, the government would send them to "reform school" which was in many cases as bad or worse than real prisons. I'm sure Trump was sent to the best military school money could buy, but it still doesn't change the reason why he was sent there in the first place, which was because he was (and still is) a festering asshole.
