A$$...

Donald Trumpery said today that he has always wanted to receive a Purple Heart, a military decoration awarded to those who were wounded or killed while serving in the U.S. military.

Trumpery’s comment comes one day after a New York Times report found Trumpery received five deferments exempting him from military service in Vietnam.

In 1997, Trumpery said on the Howard Stern Show that avoiding sexually transmitted diseases in the dating scene was “my personal Vietnam. I feel like a great and very brave soldier.”  


He also has said he “always felt that I was in the military,” because he attended a military boarding school.

A$$...

Instead of working for those 5 deferments, he could have gone to Canada with his buddy LePig.

My father is a Purple Heart recipient (Marine, WWII, Iwo Jima), which was the last thing he wanted.

Trumpery... you're an idiot.

Vet Raises Money To Help Donald Trump Earn His Own Purple Heart

“Chip in to fly him to the conflict zone of his choosing,” says Cameron Kerr, who got his medal after losing a leg.

WASHINGTON ― Donald Trumpery was thrilled last week when a veteran at a Virginia rally gave him his Purple Heart. “I’ve always wanted to get a Purple Heart,” he said, dangling the medal typically awarded to soldiers wounded or killed while serving in battle. “This was much easier.”

That response didn’t sit right with Cameron Kerr, a Purple Heart recipient based in Virginia. As an Army veteran who lost his leg on the battleground in Afghanistan, Kerr was stunned to see Trumpery treating the prestigious award like a flashy new toy. He figured if Trumpery has really always wanted a Purple Heart, he should have to earn it “the old-fashioned way”: by going into a war zone.

So he’s raising money to help give Trumpery that chance.

“As with seemingly everything else in his life, Mr. Trumpery got [a Purple Heart] handed to him instead of earning it,” Kerr states on a GoFundMe page he launched Tuesday with the headline “Help Trumpery Get A Purple Heart.”

“I fully endorse his desire to earn one and would happily oblige his interest in doing so, by being one of the first to chip in to fly him to the conflict zone of his choosing,” Kerr wrote. “After all, you’re never too old to follow your dreams.”

“It was the actual callousness of him saying, ‘I’ve always wanted one. This is much easier,’” Kerr said. “There was kind of this revulsion of him making light of something people literally have to bleed or die for. Not understanding that gravity.”

Trumpery never served in the military ― he deferred the draft five times during the Vietnam War.
