I definitely thought his daddy bought his way out of military school using the excuse of 'heel spurs'.

I could be wrong though, I only heard about it in passing I was never terribly interested in DJT

His dad sent him to military school because he was on the board of the private school little Donnie attended. Fred sent him away because he didn’t want to deal with the little shithead.

The bone spurs excuse was to dodge the Vietnam draft.

Thanks for the clarification, I had been under the impression that a military school was supposed to prepare you for the military, not try to 'reform' you for the public.

Now I know even more about a man I objectively dislike. I don't know how I feel about that.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.” ― Sun Tzu, The Art of War

“If you know your enemy… and there are a lot of enemies out there, people… those enemies want to attack us.. and we know them. We know them. Right now Nanci Pelosi has an army of woke lesbian snipers… they’re outside your houses, and they want to shoot your dogs. Yes, to shoot your dogs. And when they shoot those rifles and they WON’T when I’m president… when they shoot them… when they shoot them… it’s very bad. Yes, it’s very bad… I’ve seen it. I’ve seen a dog. Horrible, so very horrible.”

One of the best written impersonations I've seen.
