      Of all the things to shit on him for, NOT fighting in Vietnam is like the one thing he’s done that I can understand.

      It was an unjust war. Do you also shit on the people who fled to Canada?

      Why not shit on him for…literally anything else he’s ever done in his life? And hey, if you want to keep it old school, you could always shit on him for taking out a full page ad in the New York Times declairing the Central Park 5 to be guilty, when he had zero proof. They were later found out to be innocent, but his ad is part of what shaped public perception at the time.

        You’re reading into it that I’m shitting on him for not going to Vietnam. The point is that the bone spurs were fraud. He lives by fraud and always has. Did he file for CO status? No, he bullshitted his way out like he bullshit’s everything else. Don’t try to defend him like he morally objected to an unjust war LOL. The man has no sense of justice.

          If you think I’m defending him, then I think you read the first sentence, skipped everything else, and let emotions take the wheel.

          “He lied to get out of being conscripted into an unjust war of aggression” is really not the insult you think it is.

          I do not understand why liberals always seem to find the least contemptible things about Trump to focus on
