I doubt he'd go for camo, and dress uniforms are generally tailored, or at least seem to fit decently. Plus, he already has his own uniform - that blue suite. Maybe he can go the QEII route and wear his medals on a sash over the suit.

Whatever happened to those Ruritanian uniforms Nixon tried to foist on the White House guards?

They come with their own ribbons, no? Maybe I am confusing those with Olympic medals.

of their respective countries, while Trump's Dad gave a doctor some limited-timeframe rent discount to write him a fake diagnosis to dodge the draft. Trump was a healthy young man with military school background. He would have absolutely been drafted and landed in Vietnam, Republic of during the bloodiest year of the war.

If any of your relatives from Queens or Kings Counties (the relevant draft board areas) in New York City were drafted in July - October 1968, they could be the one who took Trump's place. If they came back in a box, well, you can thank Fred and Donald Trump for that.
