And this might be why he never runs... not the F-bombs... it sounds like Trump has the quintessential rich politician problem: Vietnam.
According to a new document unearthed by The Smoking Gun: Donald Trump received 4 student deferments, and one medical deferment, which is in contradiction to a previous quote explaining his draft status: “I actually got lucky because I had a very high draft number. I’ll never forget, that was an amazing period of time in my life.”
Technically, that doesn't have to be a lie. Eventually Trump got a high draft number, but it appears that it's definitely not the only way he avoided the war.
Again, that Vietnam service has been an issue for many candidates is known to everyone, and for someone who was born wealthy -- and going to Wharton at the time -- the deferrals look worse.

Sayyyyy...what’s Ubama’s Selective Service Number?
As usual, you lie.
have a nice day and I hope that you’re feeling better after your long ‘vacation’.
Trump is a joke.
Again I don’t know why you are making the personal attacks, but the question asking you to clarify if you ended up serving or not based on your post 108 can hardly be construed as me lying.
Your claim that WWII, Korea, and Vietnam veterans in construction were against military service might be open to that interpretation though, that sure wasn’t my experience in conservative Texas. I can’t help but see that as someone looking through the eyes of a moderate to liberal New Yorker.
Fun to see the nasty anti-Trump posts, though.

You nailed it.
How does Obama lose? He really doesn’t. He already was president for 2 terms. He can say he didn’t know his citizenship status. Even if it’s proven he went to college paid for by his country Indonesia, he could say that he was a dumb teen and he thought that was how his family could afford college. He definitely could say he never knew he was never an American citizen.
(He knew damn well. But he has plausible deniability, as far as the loving media goes)
Legally Pelosi might be in more of a bind that he is. ‘On the basis of what document did you assert his eligibility?”
Oh my goodness, I thought he was back again....for a sec....
EVERYONE WAS AVOINTING WAR AT THAT TIME.
