Trump attacking Mueller is a timely reminder that while Mueller served, Trump...a spineless, entitled coward...dodged
Ken Dilanian, a justice and intelligence correspondent for MS NOW, responded to Trump’s remarks by making an unflattering comparison between the president and Mueller.
“In an era when many young men – including President Trump – were trying to avoid serving in Vietnam, Mueller not only volunteered for the Marines after graduating from Princeton – he spent a year waiting for an injured knee to heal so he could serve,” Dilanian wrote in a social media post on X. “I have always found that [to] be the most compelling fact about him.”
Trump infamously received a deferment from conscription in 1968 during the Vietnam War, a deferment that allowed the then-22-year-old future president to avoid military service. Furthermore, the deferment – a medical exemption citing alleged bone spurs in his heels – was issued to Trump by a podiatrist who rented office space from Trump’s father, a connection that led The New York Times to theorize that the medical diagnosis may have been “granted as a courtesy to the elder Mr. Trump.”
