Now I’m confused. He’s(dsc) stumping for Trump and then states: “Not only should military service be a prerequisite for office, including bureaucracies, it should be the only way to earn the franchise.”
Trump needs to do more to call attention to his courageous service under fire then. I was unaware he served.
Oh wait: Trump came of age for the draft during the Vietnam War. In an interview in 2011 on New York station WNYW,[26] he stated, “I actually got lucky because I had a very high draft number.”[27] Selective Service records retrieved by The Smoking Gun from NARA records show that, although Trump did eventually receive a high selective service lottery number, he was not drafted earlier because of his student deferments (2-S) while attending college, and after receiving a medical deferment (1-Y, later converted to 4-F) prior to the lottery being initiated.[28]
He “actually got lucky”. Not because dad had money or connections or anything.
