If we take away his having avoided the draft during the Viet Nam era, and later been ludicrously convicted of 34 felonies, do we not have ample reason to abhor the Mango Monstrosity?
I’ve written before about my journey to conscientious objector status, and how the military took care to ensure my objection not so much to killing someone if needed but to the idea another person could tell me it was okay to kill someone did not reach the ears of cannon-fodder types. So I would never criticize anyone else for avoiding service any way they could.
But wanna-be tough guys like Trump, who could have gone and served but made excuses instead? Worthy of all the opprobrium, scorn and derision that can be heaped on their wretched heads.
