Trump Says He Heroically Avoided Capture in Vietnam by Staying in U.S.
 

Presidential candidate Donald Trump revealed a little-known episode of personal heroism from his youth on Saturday, telling an Iowa audience that he narrowly avoided capture in Vietnam by remaining in the United States for the duration of the war.

“The Cong were after me,” Trump said, visibly stirred by the memory. “And then, just in the nick of time, I got my deferment.”

The former reality-show star said he had never shared his record as a war hero before because “I don’t like to boast.”

I'd have to say this is his big bow out event.. He is just trying to sabotage his campaign so he can drop out.. This is what I've been saying from the start, he doesn't want to be pres.. He's just on an ego trip of self promotion..

I tend to agree. He can't be so colossally stupid to say what he did and still expect much public support...unless it was an intentional exit strategy.

People that actually thought he would stick it out until the end need help. He got people talking [again] though.

HAH! now that's some satire i can appreciate!

LOL I was thinking the same thing, like where the fuck where YOU Donny during Vietnam?

Answer: spending daddy's money.

Much like the moon landing, the so-called war staged in Vietnam was faked.

That's not a real news site guys. It's another of those stupid satire news sites with made-up shit. lol

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Was it the newyorker.com/humor/ - that gave it away? :1orglaugh

Of course it's fake...still funny satire, tho.

Is CBS good enough for you... Yes Trump said it..

Slow down and read the first post again.

What on earth would make you think that? For starters he has lost business thanks to his comments. Further, if he were just going to bow out he wouldn't be releasing financial statements. He claimed he'd run before, that was publicity. He's actually running this time, way different scenario.

I hope he wins. America deserves better than four more years of douchebags and shit sandwiches.

Donald Trump graduated Warton with Bachelor of Science degree in economics and anthropology in 1968. Why wasn't he drafted is college deferment had expired. He went directly to work beginning " his career at his father's real estate company,[28] Elizabeth Trump and Son, ". He didn't move to Canada so why wasn't he drafted as an officer as most college graduates were in 1968. Was he 4-F physical or something more bizarre? *see link*

What is the story Trump? Why should you be fit to serve as the Commander in Chief -- you didn't serve your country at a time of war nor do I recall you marching in the streets of America protesting the war.

What the fuck did you do little rich boy? Hide under your mother Elizabeth's skirt and make money while we fought and died or resisted in the streets? Trump, you are a disgusting POS. All talk no balls. When things get tough you run to the bankruptcy courts, 3 times so far. When men fight and die you hide.

The whole thing looks pretty sleazy to me;

In 1968 most men took a stand on the war The Donald hid ... He wasn't part of the problem or part of the solution he was a nobody by choice. Is that what this country respects in a leader today?

Trump is a plant by Bill and Hillary to sabotage the Republican party.

They're great friends and he's donated a lot of money to their campaigns, as well as the Clinton Foundation.

There is a reason the RNC doesn't like Trump. It's one big troll.

suddenly i feel hungry...
