Eric Trump Said His Dad 'Fought For This Country' And Critics Went ... What Now?!?

The company's ongoing fraud trial has shown a glimpse into the former president's tax habits.

Eric Trump caused some eyebrows when he said his father had fought for America.

The son of the former president spoke in a video interview. Tom Brady was a fighter for his team. My dad plays for Team America.

Critics felt that the word "fought" was doing a lot of heavy lifting and that it irked them. One of Donald Trump's medical deferments was due to bone spurs in his heels.

The daughter of a podiatrist who saw Trump said it was done as a favor to his father.

Some people pointed out that Trump had criticized wounded war vets.

In the 1970s and 1980s, the former president avoided sexually transmitted infections.

"My father fought for this country" ? 😂 You just insulted every actual veteran who actually did fight for this country !

#CadetBoneSpurs was a draft dodger who somehow ended up in the Oval Office! He fawned over America’s adversaries, lied about a deadly virus & his election loss, Incited an Insurrection, & stole Classified documents which he refuses to return! He’s not playing for Team America!

No Eric. Tammy Duckworth fought for America. She lost bother her legs in combat.

Your dad was a draft dodger. Five times.
