'We celebrate the brave Vietnam Veterans and all of America’s Veterans,” Trump tweeted.
President Donald Trump on Friday morning tweeted in celebration of Vietnam War Veterans Day, but Twitter users were quick to ridicule him over the bone spurs diagnosis he received during the Vietnam War draft.
Mental health counselor and author Jeffrey Guterman responded to Trump’s tweet by linking to a New York Times story from December on how a podiatrist in Queens, New York, may have helped Trump avoid being drafted. Who diagnosed Trump and how he was exempted remains unclear a half century later, and Trump stated on the campaign trail that he could not remember who signed the documentation.
Robert Maguire, research director of the watchdog Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, rebuked Trump on his Vietnam history. Ed Krassenstein, co-founder of the liberal Hill Reporter publication, ridiculed Trump’s supposed bone spurs by tying them to special counsel Robert Mueller, who recently concluded his investigation on Trump and found no collusion.
