Pete Buttigieg claims that Donald Trump faked disability to avoid Vietnam

Reading Time: < 1 minute

On Thursday morning during a panel sponsored by The Washington Post, Pete Buttigieg put Donald Trump on blast, calling him out for faking a disability in order to dodge the draft during the Vietnam War.

Post reporter Robert Costa asked Buttigieg if Trump should have served in Vietnam. The reality television star infamously sought and received multiple deferments from the draft because of supposed “bone spurs” that prevented him from serving.

“I have a pretty dim view of his decision to use his privileged status to fake a disability in order to avoid serving in Vietnam,” said Buttigieg.
