Moulton isn’t the first to refer to Trump as a “draft dodger.” Democratic Senator and Purple Heart recipient Tammy Duckworth previously referred to the 79-year-old as “Cadet Bone Spurs” as she spoke on Trump’s previous politicization of the military.
These critiques stem from a young Trump receiving not one, not two, not even three or four, but five military draft deferments during the Vietnam War. One of these deferments, according to the New York Times, was due to heel spurs, which left him unfit for active duty. This diagnosis reportedly came from a friend of his fathers.
