"If Hamas continues to kill people in Gaza which was not the deal we will have no choice but to go in and kill them.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!" ~Trump on Truth Social 10/16/25
This is not going to bode well for his Nobel Peace Prize.
Also amusing when a draft-dodging coward says "we" will go in and kill them.

Killing random civilians in the Caribbean isn't very peaceable either.

That is the imperial "we".

Draft dodging was smart . Trump, Bill Clinton, and anyone else.
In the future ---don't enlist! Why fight these 401K wars. For what?
Sadly, White Liberals will run more people out of jobs and i guess force them to enlist.
That is unless by then, the victims understand who caued their plight and who didn't.
Maybe Uber Drivers can give free rides to Austin or San Fran or Bethesda .....but that is for a later time

That would also include Joe Biden....During his college years he was a football hero
and the college team needed him more than Uncle Sam, thus he was granted
five deferments and avoided going to war.
RAH RAH Team, you gotta be a football hero to avoid the draft.

Prior to the fall of 71, any college student could receive deferments. Lord Cheney received four deferments, when he was in college. When he had run out the string of deferments for being in college, he got married, because they didn't draft married men. When the exclusion for married men was removed, he got his wife pregnant with their first child. Married men with dependent children were also deferred. By the time he had run that string out, he was over 26, and no longer subject to the draft.
John Wayne was draftable when WWII started. But the studio repeatedly told the draft board Wayne was needed for another film. Wayne and the studio ran that string out, until Wayne aged out of being draftable.
But you knew all that, didn't you.

Why make up nonsense when it is so easy to research the facts?
Joe Biden received four student draft deferments. He, like all males at the time, was eligible for deferment simply for being enrolled in college (or law school) and those deferments had nothing to do with football. When his student deferments expired in 1968, after he had graduated from law school, Biden received a 1-Y medical deferment.
Coincidentally (or not), Donald Trump received exactly the same four student draft deferments followed by a 1-Y medical deferment, his for bone spurs.
RAH RAH.
