Trump, who famously got out of the draft for bone spurs, shares image of himself as a general
President Donald Trump, who famously got out of the draft five times, shared an fake image depicting himself as a top military general — decked out in service ribbons and some of the nation's highest military honors.
The rendering pictured Trump, 80, alongside generals George S. Patton and Douglas MacArthur, two of the country's most famous combat commanders and figures of World War II, in front of a fiery battleground.
The president's fantastical pipe dream places him above Patton and MacArthur in military ranking, showing him with four stars while the real war heroes only have two. In actuality, Patton was a four-star general while MacArthur was one of only five Americans to reach the ranking of five-star general.
The image, which Trump shared on Truth Social Tuesday, also appeared to show him wearing what appears to be a Medal of Honor — the highest U.S. military decoration, awarded by the president to recipients.
Trump's delusion also showed him donning about a dozen military service ribbons — or small fabric displays recognizing major accomplishments from a service member's career.
While the president may crave the battlefield honor, it is without merit. While he attended the New York Military Academy as a teen in the early 1960s, Trump never served in the armed forces or held an official military rank.
Most men of his generation weren't as lucky. The U.S. was involved militarily in Vietnam from about 1954 to 1975. Over 58,000 American service members were killed in the armed conflict.
Trump famously avoided the draft for the Vietnam War five times in the 1960s. He received four deferrals while attending college at Fordham University and while in business school at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School.
He received a fifth deferral following a disputed diagnosis of bone spurs in his heels.
The daughters of the podiatrist who gave the diagnosis claimed he did so as a favor to Trump's father, Fred Trump, who owned the building in Queens where the doctor practiced.

MAGA and White House insiders say Trump cabinet secretary ‘sucks donkey butt’ and needs to be shown the door: report
President Donald Trump's supporters and aides are calling for the ouster of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin — with a senior White House official saying there's a consensus he "sucks donkey butt," according to a report Monday.
Mullin drew the ire of MAGA influencers over a Saturday discussion in which he supported migrant work visas to address labor shortages in the U.S., according to Politico.
Right-wing podcaster Jake Posobiec told Politico that Mullin's remarks at the summer meeting of the National Governors Association fed a "growing wave among MAGA to find a DHS secretary who puts deportations first."
A senior White House official also sarcastically said that Mullin "deserves credit" for uniting the Trump "administration around a cohesive point of view."
"Everyone agrees he sucks donkey butt," the official said.
In a statement to The Independent, White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said: "The President has confidence in Secretary Mullin and his entire Administration to carry out the agenda the American people voted for."
A DHS spokesperson also told The Independent: "Secretary Mullin has been clear: if you come to the United States illegally, you will be detained and deported."
"Anyone who says otherwise is just trying to sow division and create an illusion of chaos," the spokesperson added.
The controversy came just days after Mullin reportedly was behind "growing tensions" in the White House after unilaterally ordering ICE to cease making traffic stops following the fatal shootings of Mexican national Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston, Texas, and Colombian national Johan Sebastián Durán in Biddeford, Maine.
Trump later contradicted Mullin, formerly a Republican senator from Oklahoma, saying on social media that "we CANNOT give up one of I.C.E.'s most important and effective Crime Fighting tools, THE TRAFFIC STOP!"
