trump draft dodger

i try and stop off this topic of politics usually because i have had a lot of grief over it with maga /trumpsters over my view . i am british and not ashamed i am a labour party voter and always will and i have thought about this a little . our current prime minister sir kier starmer has took a lot of flack since this war with iran over his descision not to be drawn into a war he never started .opppsition parties seemed quiet ready to help our cousins across the pond . our prime minister has stood firm on this though giving leeway for america to use british bases to defend the strait of hormuz. i find it intriging our man stands on princiles only to be branded a coward by trump for not being more proactive in this conflict . what tickled me is the hypocrisy of trump calling anyone a coward coming from a man who used a bone spur to dodge the draft in vietnam war

Private Bone Spurs!!

The daughters of a Queens foot doctor say their late father diagnosed President Donald Trump with bone spurs to help him avoid the Vietnam War draft as a “favor” to his father Fred Trump, according to a new report Wednesday.

Dr. Larry Braunstein, a podiatrist who died in 2007, often told the story of providing Donald Trump with the diagnosis of bone spurs in his heels so he could be exempt from military service, his two daughters – Dr. Elysa Braunstein and Sharon Kessel – told the New York Times.

@ElwoodBlues I’m pretty sure that it is not proper US military protocol for the commander in chief to salute a military officer from a country that is it’s enemy. And if that’s true – Trump was likely briefed about it - but he did it anyway figuring it would be a good photo op. Cheers and happy weekend!
