Trump was granted five military draft deferments during the Vietnam War. The Harris-Walz campaign’s spokeswoman, Sarafina Chitika, denounced Trump for the remarks.
“Donald Trump is ignorant of any service other than his own interests. The fact that he denigrated Medal of Honor recipients in
the same way that he has attacked Gold Star families, made fun of POWs, and called those who gave their lives for our country “losers” and “suckers”
should serve as a reminder to all Americans of our duty to ensure that Donald Trump never leads our country as commander in chief once more, Chitika stated in a statement.
At the antisemitism-fighting event on Thursday, Trump was presented by Adelson, a Jewish donor who has contributed
millions of dollars to his reelection campaign. Sheldon Adelson, a significant Republican contributor who backed Trump, passed away in 2021.
