Trump would fill his pants if he was ever in any kind of war zone. But you know that’ll never happen because he’s a coward.

His pants are already full. That's why he wears diapers

Definitely not defending the psychopathic geriatric clown, but he's also like almost 80.

He did draft dodge or something back in the day. So you're not wrong at all, I just wanted to point out people that old are rarely deployed. And "rarely" is a bit of an understatement there.

Okay, he was and is a coward who browned a pair of pants the second anyone brought up the mere possibility he might be drafted.

And to be clear the people who refused to go, who burned their draft cards at protests, or even just stayed home until the police showed up aren't in this picture. Trump proactively got a doctor to lie so he wouldn't have to worry about it.

Good point. I was referring to leaders that visit warzones to support allies and so on. He would never do that.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

That's certainly true.

Invading other countries is not really a feat to be proud of though
