I'm sure the troops appreciated the visit from a president - but beyond that Trump should have zero credibility with the military - or any other American patriots.
NYT: Podiatristās Daughters Say He Diagnosed Trump With Bone Spurs During War As A āFavorā
The diagnosis allowed Donald Trump to get a medical exemption that allowed him to avoid the draft during the Vietnam War.
On Wednesday, the New York Times reported that the two daughters of a late Queens podiatrist are going public with a claim that their father diagnosed the future president with bone spurs in 1968 as a favor to his landlord, Trump patriarch Fred C. Trump. The diagnosis allowed Donald Trump to get a medical exemption that allowed him to avoid the draft during the Vietnam War.
Dr. Elysa Braunstein and Sharon Kessel ā the daughters of Dr. Larry Braunstein, who died in 2007 ā say their father was one of Fred Trumpās tenants at the time, setting up his podiatry practice in the Trump-owned Edgerton Apartments in Jamaica, Queens. Though they are unsure whether their dad actually examined the then 22-year-old Donald Trump, the sisters say that he often spoke of signing off on the diagnosis that kept Trump out of the war. The doctor also gave them the impression that Trump didnāt actually have bone spurs, but he said otherwise to help keep him out of the draft, they say.
āI know it was a favor,ā Braunstein told the New York Times, noting her fatherās cordial relationship with Trumpās real estate developer father.
āWhat he got was access to Fred Trump,ā she added. āIf there was anything wrong in the building, my dad would call and Trump would take care of it immediately. That was the small favor that he got.ā
The sisters say they recall their fatherās friend and fellow podiatrist, Dr. Manny Weinstein, was also somehow involved with the bone spur diagnosis. Weinstein died in 1995.
