Trump's fake bone spurs

So it looks like Trump's bone spurs finally healed after fifty years.
Apparently Trump started his grownup life as a criminal fraudster and has never slowed down.
President Donald Trump may have been able to avoid military service in Vietnam because a podiatrist in Queens, New York, did a “favor” for his father and diagnosed 22-year-old Trump with bone spurs in his heels.
The podiatrist, Larry Braunstein, died in 2007, but his daughters recently told The New York Times that their father frequently recalled coming to the aid of the Trump family during the Vietnam War in the late 1960s.
“I know it was a favor,” said Elysa Braunstein, along with her sister, Sharon Kessel, in a report published on Wednesday. The two said that their father’s account implied that Trump did not have the foot ailment that kept him out of the war.
“But did he examine him? I don’t know,” Elysa Braunstein added. Two years before he was diagnosed with bone spurs, Trump had been deemed eligible for conscription by the Selective Service System.
Larry Braunstein ran his practice for decades out of a building in Jamaica, Queens, that was owned and operated by the president’s father, Fred Trump. The Trump family sold the building that housed Braunstein’s practice in 2004.
“What he got was access to Fred Trump,” Elysa Braunstein told The Times. “If there was anything wrong in the building, my dad would call and Trump would take care of it immediately. That was the small favor that he got.”
