Its an older post, but still very relevant - She called Trump
“Cadet Bone Spurs”
Donald Trump, President of the United States from 2017 to 2021, graduated from college in the spring of 1968, making him eligible to be drafted and sent to Vietnam; but he received a diagnosis of bone spurs in his heels. The diagnosis resulted in a medical deferment, exempting him from military service.
Senator Tammy Duckworth
Also known as Lt. Col Tammy Duckworth who lost both her legs when her helicopter was shot down by an Iraqi insurgent in 2004?
President Donald Trump
The man who went to a military academy for high school and then did everything he could to avoid service. The man who got draft deferments for 8 years during Vietnam, the second to last of which was due to bone spurs in both heels?
The bone spur diagnosis being a lie as a favour to the man’s father? (not that it matters).
The man that called Senator McCain a “loser” for being a POW during the same war that he effectively dodged?

I think she can say whatever the hell she wants to him. She’s earned at least that. It’s an appropriate criticism of his character, it’s witty, even if it is a little childish.
I think if he tries to retort in any way to her taunt he’ll be the loser. I won’t frown on someone making a choice to not serve the military. I can’t respect a man who lies, cheats, and steals to avoid service and then unfairly criticizes those who do serve.
Considering her moniker was in a rebuttal of him literally calling her, someone who lost both legs defending the country, treasonous for not applauding his self congratulatory ramblings like a trained monkey, I find it highly appropriate.
He claims it’s a “joke,” but I’d wager that’s only because it went over like a lead balloon.
