The actual truth about Biden's legitimate college based draft deferments. Also he did happen to have asthma. Trump never had bone spurs.

I don't think that Snopes is helping your case. To quote the article;

 

The Associated Press noted that in Biden’s memoir, “Promises to Keep,” he did not mention his asthma, and described an active childhood as a lifeguard and football player.

 

He and Trump received identical medical classifications after running out of student deferments. Biden's doctor somehow was able to back-diagnose Biden with "asthma as a teenager" while doing his physical exam when Biden was 25 years old...

Yes, such a Russian asset that Putin waited until Biden was president to invade Ukraine.  I guess Putin felt safe snapping up pieces of Ukraine with a democrat in power, as he did in 2014 as well.

Putin was having enough fun with the orange traitor giving the Russians free rein in Syria.

Thats another lie told by Donald Trump

Aberdeen isn't his home , so "its great to be home" is a lie because it isn't his home 

40 000 lies he has told now 

“It’s great to be home — this was the home of my mother,” Trump said. His late mother, Mary, was born on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides before immigrating to the United States."

 

40,000 lies, methinks you exaggerate just a tad?????

All his deferment were about college. 

None were about asthma.

Yes, I know. Same as Trump.

 

That is what I said. He and Trump received identical medical classifications after they ran out of deferments. Both underwent medical examination and were classified 1-Y, which means unfit for service except in case of national emergency.  I am not sure why that is hard to understand.

Much as I dislike Trump - and I dislike him a lot as he's a ridiculous, bullying, lying, divisive, self serving, obnoxious, narcissistic, insecure misogynist - I don't get the big deal about draft dodging. It's not like it was WWII when there was a legitimate cause that needed people to unite and fight; it was the Vietnam War which was repulsive, unjust, cruel and many people had legitimate moral objections. I definitely would have done what I could to avoid being drafted up for something I thought was abhorrent.

OK, you could have been an outspoken moral objector like Muhammed Ali and gone to jail for it and then got to hold your head high (whilst serving time) - I applaud him for that. But I wouldn't want to go to jail either so would probably look for a loop hole. I am sure many people would if they are honest about it.

It's not the draft dodging, it's the corruption.

 

Again Biden did have asthma. Trump didn’t have bone spurs.

Arriving in a country and giving the fascist fist salute, a good way to endear yourself with the locals.

 

 

From Wiki :

 

Raised fist

 

The raised fist, or the clenched fist, is a long-standing image of mixed meaning, often a symbol of political solidarity. It is also a common symbol of anti-fascism, socialism, communism, anarchism, and other revolutionary social movements. It can also represent a salute to express unity, strength, or resistance.

Of course, according to you, no relation to more rational and fact-based reasons, such as the Covid crisis which resulted in low energy price, extensive contagion and high death rate in Russia (population fell by 997,000 between October 2020 and September 2021).

Scotland's new first minister, Humza Yousaf, was asked last week if he will meet the former US leader, who has previously made controversial statements about Muslims.

Mr Yousaf said: "I would find it difficult, I have to say, to meet with him without raising the significance of concerns I have of the remarks that he's made in the past."
 

Very diplomatic.

Trump is more Scottish than Yousaf.

His Mum was Scottish.
