we shouldn`t even half joke about Agent Orange. It`s not funny, and I`m dead serious.

I lost my other half to the results of Agent Orange exposure. I`ve met dozens and dozens of Vietnam Vets who are suffering right now because of it, two of them being friends who are are covered in Agent Orange sores.

Donald J. Trump got several deferments during the Vietnam War, so he never had to serve. He never had to risk his life or suffer the consequences of Agent Orange exposure or the zillion other problems Vietnam Vets....and other vets....face. The only thing Trump has, even remotely connected to war, is that purple heart he scoffed off that veteran because he "always wanted one", apparently not realizing the cost of having one is sacrifice....which is a foreign concept to Trump.

Please, let`s not attach the words Agent Orange to the shallow, ignoble Donald Trump.
