The New York City podiatrist who gave Donald Trump a letter stating he had bone spurs on his heels—which enabled him to dodge the Vietnam War draft—issued the document as a favor to Trump’s real-estate developer father, Fred, from whom his office space was rented, the doctor’s daughter has told The New York Times. “I know it was a favor,” said Elysa Braunstein, now 56, who said the implication from her father was that the future president did not have a disqualifying foot ailment. Braunstein’s surgical office in Jamaica, Queens, was owned by the Trump family until 2004. Braunstein said that after the letter was issued, her father received preferential treatment from his landlord. “If there was anything wrong in the building, my dad would call and Trump would take care of it immediately. That was the small favor that he got.” Larry Braunstein died in 2007. A second podiatrist, Manny Weinstein, who was also allegedly involved in testifying to Trump’s condition, was a close friend of Braunstein’s, she said. Weinstein lived in two apartments in Brooklyn owned by Fred Trump. He moved into the first space during the year Donald Trump received his exemption. In an interview with the Times in 2016, Donald Trump said a doctor provided “a very strong letter” about the bone spurs in his heels, which he then presented to military draft officials. He said he could not remember the doctor’s name. “You are talking a lot of years,” Trump said. He had been declared available for service two years earlier and underwent a physical exam, records show. Officials again declared him available for service in July 1968, by which time he had exhausted four education deferments and finished college. However, the last-minute diagnosis of bone spurs, which has been widely mocked, kept him out of military service.

This is what I said:

Little canadian I don't think anyone was talking to you. But you felt the need to seek attention? Lets see who pays attention to you and comments on your "excellent, intelligent, thoughtful post. Bet Jcboy will be the first one.

And then, you being the dishonest, unt***hful canadian you are, you changed to this:

[quote=Elaine2025 Canadian, I think everyone was talking to you. But you don't feel the need to seek attention? Lets see who pays attention to you and comments on your "excellent, intelligent, thoughtful post. Bet Jcboy will be the first one.[/quote]

I have notified Admin of your lies and deception.

Look, there is either proof or there is not. It is really that simple. A person saying something does not mean it is true. I'm not saying you are right or wrong. I am saying show the proof. People can write any story they want and we all know that. I want to see the proof and this is not proof. Sorry.

Even someone as dim as you must appreciate the delicious 'winger draft dodger conundrum'. The only people that still care about VN draft dodgers are the conspicuous 'thank me for my service avatar people'. Invariably these people are s***ering adorers Lord Bone Spurs. That would be some really tough orange jerky to be chewing day after day.

Why not start chanting, as these free whisky tent show chanters do so well ....

"Lord Bigly opposed the Vietnam war on ethical, moral and humanitarian grounds, just like that other great American Muhammad Ali!"

Vietnam is the fault of evil leftie Dems. Over 100 years ago.

A few Vichy surrender monkeys were involved in the early groundwork but it was mostly a picnic for the Yank munitions and infrastructure crowd. And who were the obedient f**g wavers? Wasn't me, was it you General Insurance Johnny? Too right it was, still is.

So you don’t have a link to the letter, but thanks for the link explaining there is no evidence of the letter.

From your link:

”The Times did not find documentation to help corroborate the family's account, who described themselves as Democrats who dislike Trump, and Elysa Braunstein was unsure whether her father ever examined Donald Trump.”

It’s always amusing to me, evil leftie Dems who never served pointing fingers at those who never served.

Donald is serving now. He’ll serve for 8 years. More than the stained pantie wearing evil leftie Dems.

I don't think the dems are going to like what you found. There will be crying, screaming, accusations and outrage. I looked before and it is phoney baloney, the dems are creating the story to fit what they want.
