Oh, and your claim that no one else would give the Memorial a thought is insulting nonsense.

Almost 2000 New Yorkers gave their lives in Vietnam, and your claim that only Donald Trump - a coward who pled bone spurs as an excuse to dodge the draft - was the only person who thought of the memorial is ridiculous.

Ed Koch, the mayor of NYC and a veteran of the Battle of the Bulge, started city planning on the Memorial at least three years before any Trump gave a dollar or joined a committee.

Oh really? Than why didn’t the city of New York pay for it? Like the skating rink and other projects that were under construction for years and could never seem to get completed, New York played the same game as Boston played with the Big Dig. Projects kept costing more but were never completed because of the graft and corruption.Trump built it and he also completed the skating rink among other things.

2000 New Yorkers deserved a memorial. Why is it the only person willing to pay for it was Donald Trump????????????????

You obviously have never had a bone spur. Perhaps you have been able to sustain the pain of a splinter in your figure?
