John McCain was a war hero. He was in a prison in Vietnam for more than five years. He could have left earlier but refused to leave without his companions.
Donald Trump avoided serving in Vietnam. He received four education deferments while he was a college student and a fifth deferment in 1968 for a medical exemption after he graduated. The medical deferment was for bone spurs. Two daughters of a New York podiatrist that issue a letter resulting in the medical deferment say that 50 years ago their father, who is now deceased, diagnosed President Donald Trump with bone spurs in his heels as a favor to the doctor’s landlord, Fred Trump (Donald Trump’s father).
Critics have noted that Trump was an athlete who enjoyed playing football, baseball, squash, tennis and golf in the years before his medical deferment.
Of course Trump hates McCain because he was a hero but he is all about standing up to killers like those who killed Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Trump said there is no reason for him to listen to a recording of the “very violent, very vicious” killing of the journalist. “It’s a suffering tape, it’s a terrible tape. I’ve been fully briefed on it, there’s no reason for me to hear it,” Trump said in the interview with Fox News. ″I know everything that went on in the tape without having to hear it.”
