7. Proud Parents
In this photo Trump shared to his Facebook page, he wrote, “#TBT Myself with mother and father at New York Military Academy. See, I can be very military. High rank!”
Despite boasting of being “very military,” Trump received five draft deferments from serving in the military during Vietnam. Four of the deferments were for his time during college. The fifth was for a medical diagnosis of bone spurs in his heels, which has come under renewed scrutiny in recent years. According to the daughter of the podiatrist who diagnosed Donald, the bone spurs excuse was “favor” to Fred Trump in order for the podiatrist to maintain a close relationship with Fred, who was the podiatrist’s landlord.
