Trump shares fake four-star general image, reigniting draft-dodger chatter
The Independent reports that Donald Trump posted a fake image on Truth Social depicting himself as a four-star general alongside Patton and MacArthur, a fantasy that overlooks his five draft deferments for college and bone spurs and his lack of military service. The piece notes Trump once toyed with awarding himself the Medal of Honor and recalls past criticisms over his treatment of veterans, including remarks about fallen soldiers. An image gallery accompanies the report with context about his draft history and related commentary.
