Nobody in the Trump Klan has ever served in the US military.

1. Didn't Melena ever entertain the troops?

N/T

2. It's actually quite rare in American life to be as devoid of public service as the Trumps

If you asked 100 random people on the street, you'd find some military service within one remove or generation for nearly all of them. The Trumps have none, anywhere in their family tree. It's remarkable.

4. There are 7 in my family, including myself.

My father, four uncles, and one great-uncle in World War II, plus me during the Vietnam era. Also had cousins serve during Korea and Vietnam.

9. Here is the video of that....

6. That's sad, essentially WWl and WWII. Since then, we have not fought in a justified

war. You’d think a chunk of military wouldn’t support him. But they hate too.

7. Don, Jr., wanted to sign up

but his father threatened to disown him. He had it written in Marla's pre-nup that Tiffany's support would cease if she joined the Peace Corps or the military.

8. I "think" I remember that I read that

The reason the the Trump (Drumpt) family left Germany was because of ‘ refusal to serve in the millitary’.

[Elwood P Dowd]

11. Yep, Grandaddy Trump fled Germany to dodge the draft. (nt)

[RockRaven]

10. Well, do we need to qualify that with "US" even?

When was the last time any of them served anywhere?

Grandpappy Whorehouse Trump got the boot from Bavaria for skiving off military service. Maybe his father served, given that GWT was apparently born in Bavaria, so his father had maybe done his compulsory duty and was still "legal" at the time? That guy's youth would have been mid 1800s or so.

13. Visit to Arlington Cemetery reminded Donald Trump Jr. of all his family's 'sacrifices,' he writes

The Trumps are not shy about proclaiming how much they have 'sacrificed'.

16. From that article, "You are a soup sandwich" is my new favorite insult.

I'm at the burn, and at Diaper Don. Which I was anyway. So at least I chuckled a bit, I guess. Thanks for that in these dark times.

12. There is a picture on this forum of Mary Trymp and her dad, who is in the guard.

18. It must have been brief because I can't find anything about it.

She was 16 when he died, and looks about that age in the pic.

15. Mary Trump's father Fred Jr. was Air National Guard nt

[eppur_se_muova]

19. And 45 and his siblings persuaded Fred Sr. to basically write Fred Jr. out of his will ...

... just as he threatened to do to Donald Jr.

It's all part of a pattern of condemning military service in the most extreme way.

17. His whole line

are draft dodgers, cowards, takers and conmen, and it seems it was passed down from father to son. Horrid family.
