    draft-dodging coward:

    “You know, if you’re young, and in this era, and if you have any guilt about not having gone to Vietnam. We have our own Vietnam. It’s called the dating game,” he said during a discussion of Trump’s well-publicized germaphobia and the ongoing AIDs epidemic.

    “It’s pretty dangerous out there Robin. It’s like Vietnam,” Trump said earlier in the interview.

    “It is, it is,” Stern said. “The dating scene is like Vietnam.”

    “Dating is like being in Vietnam,” Trump said. “You’re the equivalent of a soldier going over to Vietnam.”

      Dodging the Vietnam draft is actually one thing I can’t fault Trump for. The whole war was horse shit and had nothing to do with protecting the country.

      But comparing it to the risk of getting AIDS is definitely the stupid bullshit I’d expect from him.

        i think it’s more about using one’s privilege to negate the consequences of being poor that everyone else had to suffer

        most of the wars were/are bullshit, but yes–vietnam especially

        I still do because we all know he didn’t do it for some “war is bad” mentality.

          Hell even without that mentality he was bitch about it claiming he had bone spurs. Meanwhile a similar tier of shitheel in the form of Ted Nugent had to at least shit his pants.

        trump has been trying to embody the “i’m dominant” character for his entire life, as evidenced by pretty much every bullshit thing he says, and the fact that he actually paid people to bring him news articles that praised him.

        he’s a weak, cowardly, insecure fucking loser who still hasn’t been able to convince himself that he’s literally jesus fucking christ, even though he’s brainwashed millions of poor and uneducated incel degenerates (which he explicitly can’t fucking stand either) into thinking that he is.

        “is that your bible?”

        “ITS A BIBLE”

        i’ve said it before and i’ll keep saying it: when he finally kicks the fucking bucket, that day will be my own new personal holiday

        If you read some of the victims’ statements, it sounds like he was very paranoid about germs and demanded they use rubber gloves when forced to jerk him off.

        nah. being drafted into the military and having no option to say no (unless you’re senator’s son) isn’t the same as hitting the night scene and taking strangers’ bodily fluids into your own body by your own volition
