00:00Liar. Donald Trump blasted for telling U.S. troops in Japan.
00:04He'd love to have their job. Serial draft dodger.
00:09Donald Trump rubbed the public the wrong way after addressing U.S. troops in Japan.
00:14This is a special group of patriots, champions, winners. You are winners.
00:18I would love to have your job, Trump, 79, told a military audience while on board the USS George Washington on Tuesday, October 28.
00:27The clip of the speech quickly went viral on social media, with many users pointing out that Trump allegedly faked an injury to avoid serving military service in the Vietnam War.
00:38One of his biggest lies would have loved your job. Sure, Donnie, sure.
00:43One user wrote via X, while another added, Trump is always in perfect health.
00:48But he had heel spurs the week Vietnam came calling.
00:51The troops are too young to know that the guy they're cheering is a serial draft dodger, a despicable human being who called our fallen soldiers suckers and losers.
01:00Trump received five draft deferments during the height of the Vietnam conflict, four for education and a fifth for a medical exception granted after his education.
01:10The use of draft deferments was legal and was often used by wealthy families at the time.
01:14Mr. Trump claimed was because of a bone spur, but when I asked for medical records, he gave me none and said there was no surgery.
01:22Michael Cohen, who worked as a fixer for Trump, told members of the House Oversight Committee.
01:27He continued, he finished the conversation with the following comment.
01:31You think I'm stupid? I wasn't going to Vietnam.
01:33Trump has distanced himself from his former advisor and accused Cohen of falsifying stories to bargain a deal with federal prosecutors for a lesser sentence on unrelated crimes.
01:43I am ashamed that I chose to take part in concealing Mr. Trump's illicit acts rather than listening to my own conscience, Cohen told the committee.
01:52I am ashamed because I know what Mr. Trump is.
01:55He is a racist. He is a con man. He is a cheat.
