“You used your father’s wealth & privilege to avoid serving your country five times, forcing another American to serve in your place each time.”

Fixed!

“I think I make up for it right now,” he said. “I think I am making up for it rapidly.”

Nothing like 55 years after the fact to show your bravery you walking bag of oral flatulence.

“I think I make up for it right now,” he said. “I think I am making up for it rapidly.”

Is he using his own money to fund the military?

Well, bone spurs notwithstanding, he is STILL unfit to serve his country.

Fucking asshole. This daughter of a WWII, Korea and Viet Nam Vet isn’t impressed. Lining the pockets of the military industrial complex, while stealing money for base housing, schools and other equipment to build a ridiculous and truly not possible, border to border wall on our southern border, isn’t serving anyone.

If he’s going to move that money, it should be into the pockets of those already serving. My nephew made half the money the civilian contractor sitting next to him made, he knew more, and did more, wile the civilian sneered at him for being in the military. So why was he serving? To afford an education.

So you’re making up for it by wasting everyone else’s’ tax money on shit we’re not fans of? God you are a fuck head.

So he was implying that veterans are fans of wars? How dare he!

C’mon Donnie’s a warrior, he’s been fighting bankruptcy his entire life.

And don’t forget he graduated from the Bonespur Military Academy.

He wasn’t a fan of the Vietnam War. That’s hilarious. Just something else conservatives would find disqualifying if Trump were a Democrat. And rightly so. Who talks this way? A clueless conman with dementia, that’s who.

He doesn’t understand the context of anything he’s saying. Something is either good or bad, based upon how he thinks it helps him in the moment. So he wasn’t a fan of the Vietnam War and wishes veterans a Happy Memorial Day. Just something else his supporters will attack the media for reporting.

“No one believes you” is spicier than normal, and I think it is an extremely pointed riposte to the dotard’s usual “many people are saying”. Nothing is more damaging or more painful than knowing the whole room is laughing at you. He will have no choice but to respond and cover himself in his own sick.

Given that Donnie doesn’t pay taxes, he hasn’t used his own money even indirectly. Each of us has contributed more to fund the military than he ever has.

This article would have been much, much MUCH better if it had included context: Duckworth’s heroism and resulting disability during the Iraq War, the rank she achieved and her work at the top of the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Big thumbs up to Duckworth. The Vietnam deferrals look bad, and Trump doesn’t have a good way to defend himself other than to say it was the doctor’s call and hope that there aren’t follow-up questions.

With Trump having repeatedly bragged about his athletic abilities around the same time as the draft, and with his doctor’s child throwing doubts about the validity of the bone spurs diagnosis, his best option is to stay quiet and let it blow over. Staying quiet is something he can’t do very well.

He’s been hanging out with John Bolton a lot, lately. John’s never envisioned any war he didn’t like.

He’s bragging about his generosity , even though it isn’t his money.

I was just going to say, “no one believes you and everyone is laughing at you”. It is almost like there is a script being played out, slow death by a thousand tweets.
