Missing in action: Trump's bone spurs. Bone spurs don't just vanish. [View all]

Trump used his father's wealth to buy his way out of being drafted by claiming bone spurs.

He dodged the draft, not because he was opposed to war but because he didn't want to be drafted into war.

He used his wealth and privilege to dodge the draft.

He calls those who paid the ultimate price, with their lives, losers.

If Trump is going to call war dead losers, then show us your bone spurs, Mr President.

Or show us the medical records that prove you had them surgically removed.

Show us these bone spurs that are missing in action.
