So Trump is so healthy he hasn't been to the hospital since age 11??

http://deadline.com/2016/09/donald-trump-doctor-oz-physical-exam-nbc-news-video-1201819816/

Uh, then why did he get a health deferment for Vietnam??

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/02/us/politics/donald-trump-draft-record.html?_r=0

He stood 6 feet 2 inches with an athletic build; had played football, tennis and squash; and was taking up golf. His medical history was unblemished, aside from a routine appendectomy when he was 10.

But after he graduated from college in the spring of 1968, making him eligible to be drafted and sent to Vietnam, he received a diagnosis that would change his path: bone spurs in his heels.

The diagnosis resulted in a coveted 1-Y medical deferment that fall, exempting him from military service as the United States was undertaking huge troop deployments to Southeast Asia, inducting about 300,000 men into the military that year.

The deferment was one of five Mr. Trump received during Vietnam. The others were for education.



Look my husband had bone spurs and he was not given a deferment. He was still given a number. His number was not called, but he was still given one.

This man is such a fraud and a phony.
