The headline:  Donald Trump dodged Vietnam War through medical deferment, not high draft number as he claimed

The link:  http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2011/04/29/2011-04-29_donald_trump_vietnam_war_records.html

The summary:  Selective service records indicate that Donald Trump was able to avoid the draft for the Vietnam War due to a medical deferment and not due to a high draft number as he’s claimed he had.

The reaction:  So the guy who’s getting on Barack Obama about releasing his records doesn’t want to release any of his own?  Weird.

Trump is proving with the whole birther issue and now his Vietnam draft status that he’s not real big on facts.  He’s become very good at making facts and stories to twist the truth into whatever he wants it to be.  Maybe he’ll be a good politician after all!
