Donald Trump declared himself a war hero while
lamenting that he does not get enough credit
for ordering bombings in Iran.
The president, who never served in the military
and avoided the Vietnam draft due to a bone spur
diagnosis, made the claim while speaking to
conservative radio and Fox News host Mark Levin
on Tuesday.
Trump discussed working with Israel’s Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to secure the release
of hostages held by Palestinian militant group
Hamas, praising the Israeli leader—who is currently
facing an arrest warrant from the International
Criminal Court (ICC) over alleged war crimes—as
a “good man.”
“He’s in there fighting, they’re trying to put him
in jail on top of everything else, how about that?”
Trump said on Levin’s radio show Tuesday, referring
to Netanyahu’s unrelated corruption trial in Israel.
“He’s a war hero, because we worked together. He’s
a war hero. I guess I am too.”
“Nobody cares, but I am too. I sent those planes,”
he added, in reference to U.S. airstrikes targeting
three Iranian nuclear facilities in June.
Trump never served in a war after receiving five
deferments from the Vietnam draft, according to the
New York Times. Four came while he was a college
student, and a fifth was granted in 1968 following
a diagnosis of bone spurs—a calcium buildup—in his
heels.
