"Mr. President, you had some military training, if you had served in Vietnam, do you

think you would have been a good soldier?" How would you like to see a reporter ask him that one?

The correct answer would be no. Acceptable might be that he didn't go, so can't answer that. But he would probably actually brag about how great he would have been. I'd pay to see that!

The good news is that Chump may well have saved lives
by not going to Vietnam. With his narcissism and affluenza, he could well have been more of a problem as opposed to being a dedicated soldier. There's no room in the camps or on the battlefield for someone of his ilk. He's no more "special" than any of his would-be cohorts, and it wouldn't be long until that was made clear to him. He would, in fact, be a danger to every soldier in his squad.

...his attitude toward the real military. So, no, I would not like to see a reporter ask him such a question.

Probably within his first week. I think he knows that. He would have been more likely to have been killed by his own troops than by the enemy. No wonder he was such a coward about going to war.

Faux News, OAN, Breitbart... weren't they the only ones that got to ask him questions?

"Golly Gee Mr President, with your massive hands and rippling muscles, if you were in WWII, how much quicker would the war have ended, and would you have been awarded 1, or 2 Medals of Honor?"

Legitimate news sources ought to walk out when he calls on TASS for questions.

If major media just quit covering him, or reporting whatever diarrhea he farts out of his face anus for 24 hours, he'd be going through withdrawal so bad he'd be rolling around naked on the White House lawn playing with his own poop.
