Eric Trump raised eyebrows among Twitter users this week after stating that his father, Donald Trump, fought for the U.S.
My father fought for this country, the former presidents son said in a video shared online. [NFL quarterback] Tom Brady always fought and played for his team. My fathers playing for Team America.

While the word fought was likely just a turn of phrase, critics on Twitter felt it was doing a lot of heavy lifting.
They immediately highlighted Trumps history of medical deferments from the military, including one on the basis of bone spurs in his heels. That diagnosis has since been questioned, though, after the daughter of the podiatrist who saw Trump said it was done simply as a favor to his father, Fred C. Trump.

No wonder he's known as the dim son.

(1,789 posts)As in Team America World Police, the puppet movie? I would find it easier to believe that Eric has the puppet set and dad wants to be Team America when he plays with them than Trump fighting for the real America.
