    Not true. Trump is saying, as he has said on multiple occasions, that the deep state included career politicians and megadonors.



    He proved himself otherwise by his partisan attacks on Trump



    No it isn't. His bias was laid bare for all the world to see.



    Biden dodged the draft just as bad as Trump did.
    I will side with the decorated veteran with personal knowledge of the relationship with Putin and Russia.

      Draft dodging in a wealthy family is a different game. You pay off doctors who are your your friends.



      I think the degradation is spin from the Left.
      No, Trump's own words.

        Only because he talks crap about Trump.

          More than 15 million men of Trump’s generation sought to avoid active-duty military service, including George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Dick Cheney, and Dan Quayle. Up to 60 percent of men in the Vietnam generation took active measures to qualify for a deferment from the draft, while up to 90 percent of enlistments in the National Guard were draft-motivated by 1970.

          The saga of Bill Clinton and his draft status began with a student deferment in 1964, when he was studying at Georgetown. However, by 1968, the government ended deferments for grad students, and the Rhodes Scholar began maneuvering to avoid service. According to a Snopes fact-check post, he used connections with the naval reserve and the draft board to sidestep service so he could attend Oxford. Later, Clinton signed up for the ROTC program in order to avoid being drafted — but never served there, either.
          The topic is the President a higher standard than 15 million others. Yes there is also a problem with George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Dick Cheney, and Dan Quayle as to whether their deferment was legitimate. Personally I like John F. Kennedy, Dwight D. Eisenhower, and McCain. Biden's deferment is medical asthma, which he still has today.
