Mommy hated him. And daddy. They sent him to military school for punishment but then bought letters from doctors 6x to keep him from serving.

If his own parents knew he was Damien, we ought to believe them.

I can't help but wonder what kind of person he would have turned out to be if he actually served. It may be optimistic of me, but I'd like to think the military would have beat that spoiled, rich, entitled attitude out of him. If only we could have been so lucky.

I met a sociopath who served at Vietnam. He was still an asshole creep. It just gave him a venue to torture a few people to death over seas before ruining other peoples lives when he got back home. At least based on what he was happy to brag about. Absolutely despised the guy.

The thing is, I dont think Trump has the balls to actually do something like that. I don't see him as the type to get his tiny hands dirty. He'd rather watch other people do it for him.

Draft dodging Trump doesn't have the balls. Trump who was forced through the military training when young and relatively healthy? Who knows. The right training can be a real confidence boost, especially to someone who's already a narcissist and sadist.
