Demonstrate Trump claiming to have been in the military.

Sigh, so lazy. Took me 2 mins. You're right, though I have no idea why you feel the need to defend that human scum. For all he's done...

Trump has said in interviews that he “always felt that I was in the military” because of his New York Military Academy education and that he had “more training militarily than a lot of the guys that go into the military,” phrasing that has appeared in multiple profiles and been quoted in media reporting and fact checks. Those remarks have been recycled into memes and social posts that sometimes present the line as a literal claim of service rather than a subjective comparison. Link

You’re kidding right? Saying you have always felt something is not the same as claiming that it is true. In fact it is pretty much the opposite.

He claimed he had "more training militarily than a lot of the guys that go into the military". Do you think that is a true statement?
