There are bootloads of Things you can blame Trump for, but dodging the draft for such an unnecessary stupid war is something everyone remotely intelligent person would have done if capable
It’s not only about that he dodged it, but the fact that he now has this stupid parade after dodging (and still not admitting that he was only able to dodge on a falsified doctor’s note that he got because he comes from a rich family). Either you think the military is stupid, then dodging the draft makes sense, but the parade doesn’t or the other way around. He’s just doing both which is hypocritical. Not surprising though
The people I rate highest were those who openly said they weren’t going for moral reasons. Muhammed Ali couldn’t fight for years because he had religious reasons the government refused to acknowledge. Others went to Canada or Sweden.
Next are people like Bill Clinton. Had a valid student deferment and talked about how bad the war was.
Further down are people who used legal means, but were silent.
Lowest are people like Bush Jr. who finagled his way into the National Guard [and bailed on his last year] and Trump who lied about his medical condition. Both of these two were happy to have other people die to defend their right to be a rich kid.
He looks so pathetic standing there saluting while everybody else is seated around him.
Especially since those troops are representing the Vietnam War. You know, the know he dodged the draft for.
Oh was that the moment they played ‘fortunate son’?
He was born on 3rd and thinks he hit a triple.

And the icing on the cake is that while in a cemetery of vets, called them “losers” and “suckers” according to General Kelly.
Many dodged the war out of principle but the orange joker did it because he thought those who didn’t were, “Suckers and Losers”.

Yup. Like an overly enthusiastic little boy trying to make his parents happy.
