Did Trump actually dodge the draft? Did his daddy use his power/influence to position him in such a way as to dodge the draft?

Curious...anyone have info readily available. Being lazy.

No, he did not dodge the draft.

Every male his age who went to a 4 year college got 4 years of student deferment.

When his deferments were done, he failed the physical - the 4F (unfit for military service) classification - something wrong with the bone in one foot I believe I heard him say.

All perfectly legal and above board. No one's influence was used.

I don’t, except there was some information that he had foot problems and I don’t know if that is true. I would say a New York prep school boy with bigger fish to fry, was given special privilege, just my opinion.

Issue is, he is relating his sexual activity to like being in Vietnam. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Yeah, he was running around in mud filled trenches, trying to dodge bullets, watching friends explode into a red mist. Another comment he has made is that his military school education gives him more experience than most.

He is a delusional self-loving bastard.

Unless his medical deferment was obtained fraudulently, I don’t see how Trump can be labelled a draft-dodger. 2-S student deferments were routine in the 1960s and early 1970s.
