20 days since the National Day of Patriotic Devotion
When you wake up to a president with 5 draft deferments pissing on a senator for missing the Vietnam war:
“Sen.Richard Blumenthal, who never fought in Vietnam when he said for years he had (major lie),now misrepresents what Judge Gorsuch told him?” Donald Trump, via Twitter, 3:57 am, 9 February 2017
“In other news, Trump got 5 draft deferments from Vietnam: 4 for college, one for bone spurs in his feet.” Jack Jenkins, photojournalist, via Twitter, 9 February 2017
A bit of background:
“Neil Gorsuch, Donald Trump’s nominee to the supreme court, called the president’s tweet attacking the federal district court judge James Robart “disheartening and demoralizing”, his spokesman has confirmed. Gorsuch criticized Trump in a private meeting with Senator Richard Blumenthal on Wednesday.” The Guardian, 8 February 2017
