Trump would have taken his money and fled to some South American country not involved. Trump has been a coward all his life.

is sure full of whining, excusing, whimping out, and heaving condo-loads of rancid, toxic bullshit.

Why doesn't he just own it, and embrace his status as a five-time draft-dodging, duplicitous republican grifter who is pathetically ego needy, and totally out for himself?

The truth might hurt the republican misleader, but it would set him and his submissive republican kult free

I wonder what side he would have fought on?

Now that's the million dollar question.

Probably the side where the grift landscape looked better, as in more profitable for the Drumpfs.

That, too. Very nice shot of Christie, btw. Looks like he's taken off 200 lbs. Positively svelte!

Except for the cheeks and chin that is

“I would have not have minded that at all. I would have been honored” to serve, Trump said, though he did not address accusations of draft dodging with Morgan.

However, Trump added, he has increased the Pentagon’s budget during his tenure, which he said should be considered as an amends to avoiding service.

"I think I make up for it right now,” Trump said, describing a proposed defense budget that will approach $750 billion in 2020. “I think I am making up for it rapidly.”
