    Watched the press conference. As usual, it was all self-congratulatory talk about sovereignty and muscle, men pounding their chests with one hand while jerking off with the other, bragging about their military power and superiority. For fuck’s sake! You’re still a shitty country full of inequality, poverty, and racism. No matter how many bombs you stockpile or how skilled your army is, you’re the world’s asshole. That is not what makes a country great.

    Draft-dodging Donald Trump has still not figured out that “Fortunate Son” is a protest song about people like him.

    Trump took to social media on Saturday to post a video of the U.S.’s legally dubious smash-and-grab abduction of Venezuelan ruler Nicolas Maduro, set to Creedence Clearwater Revival’s anti draft-dodger protest anthem.

    “Fortunate Son,” written by John Fogerty at the height of the Vietnam War, expresses anger about powerful men using their family connections to avoid the draft.

    Trump, [who dodged the Vietnam War draft five times](https://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-avoided-the-military-draft-which-was-common-at-the-time-vietnam-war-2018-12), used “Fortunate Son” during a 2020 campaign rally. Fogerty, who is a military veteran, said he was “baffled” by the choice and handed him a cease-and-desist letter, noting Trump’s status as a draft dodger.

    We’re way past making fun of him for character issues. Are you all not afraid? Afraid that he will kill hundreds of thousands of people in various campaigns such as this? That your leader is a Nazi? Do something!

    Why can we afford to invade another county but can’t afford to fund Affordable Care Act subsidies?

    Americans need help with the cost of health insurance, with the cost of food, with the cost of electricity. All Trump has done is make everything cost *more*.

    I suppose we’ll be at war with half of Latin America by the end of the month, if only to keep Epstein off the front page.

    Heck, This Pedophile would of NEVER made it out of Boot Camp . He has trouble outsmarting a pile of “Ant poop” left in Mar Largos’ golf Course 18th hole.

  7. I HATE IT HERE. Besides the draft dodging symbolism, he’s turning this into a cutesy social media highlight reel like he’s a child playing Call of Duty. Those are members of the military in harm’s way (and for no legitimate reason) and he thinks it’s a fun toy he gets to show off with. I HATE HIM.

    Socios only understand things in a superficial way. Lyrics are taken literally, the real meaning and subtext to “Fortunate Son” by CCR is lost on him.
    Everyone knows this is a famous *anti-war* anthem, specifically a protest song criticizing the Vietnam War and draft system that spared the wealthy (like Trump) while the working class were snatched away made to fight an unjust war.

    Lots of people think the opposite because it was so widely play in Viet Nam during the war. So it MUST BE GLORIFYING the war.

    Amazing how much and how well he plays golf with all those bones spurs that prevented him from being drafted into the military during the Vietnam War. You would think anyone that can brag to Biden about being able to golf 18 holes without a cart at 78 years old would have been healthy enough to have fought in the war back then. Weird…..

    Not a maga but I wouldn’t send my kid to war Id hide him and I’d hide yours too. Anyway an American war would only be to defend interests of the 1% as always. It’s honestly like you people who still believe in American politics can’t even think straight.
