        His grandfather dodged the draft too. It was the reason Germany refused to let him return when things went poorly after leaving for the US.

        It's not a possibility, it's a historical fact. The consistent traits in that family are opportunism and cowardice.

        The country of Lesotho had a similar PM a few years back. Eventually, democracy worked & fellow MP & the people voted him out. 2/2

        JFK wasn't the leader of the free world. Stop trying to marginalize this. The WORLD IS WATCHING.

        I still get pissed when I think of Drumpf taking a Purple Heart medal on the campaign trail. This man child has no Idea of the sacrifice

        Yes. And JFK fought in a real war, not malingering with #FakeBoneSpurs

        I’ve always wondered—did the news of Jack’s PT109 heroism were a contributing factor in Joe jr signing up for a basically suicide mission?

        Soon after the end WWII. Everyone knew how it felt to lose someone. Trump would not allow himself to feel it even if he were inclined.
