Draft-dodging Donald Trump on Monday fired off a blistering attack on former military leaders who have criticized his assorted foreign policy moves as “failed generals.”
In a frantic Twitter rant, Trump, who has a history of using a bogus condition to avoid military service, declared that these military leaders had no right to criticize anything he’s done because they were bad at doing their jobs.
“I campaigned on getting out of Syria and other places,” the president wrote. “Now when I start getting out the Fake News Media, or some failed Generals who were unable to do the job before I arrived, like to complain about me and my tactics, which are working.”
Trump’s tweet mocking “failed generals” comes days after the daughters of the late Dr. Larry Braunstein, a one-time podiatrist based in Queens, told the New York Times that their father helped President Donald Trump escape getting drafted during the Vietnam War by fabricating a diagnosis of bone spurs in his feet.
56-year-old Dr. Elysa Braunstein told the Times that her late father implied that Trump did not suffer from a debilitating foot ailment, and that he offered the bogus diagnosis as a favor to Trump patriarch Fred Trump.
…I campaigned on getting out of Syria and other places. Now when I start getting out the Fake News Media, or some failed Generals who were unable to do the job before I arrived, like to complain about me & my tactics, which are working. Just doing what I said I was going to do!
