Let's assume that I buy your rationale: hook, line, and sinker. Let's assume that the NY Times & CNN are reputable. Let's assume that Trump's wealthy father is the only father who ever maneuvered the system to prevent his son from active duty in an unpopular war, in lieu of simply moving to Canada.
Let's assume that Donald Trump is the only living being who has never sacrificed or suffered during his lifetime.
I still find myself wondering why a man who is so openly hated by some, whose life has been threatened time and again, who has enough wealth to protect him from such disdain, continues to dedicate himself to our country, still helps set it on a path of success.
Whether he is actually doing so or not, will depend on your ideology, no? But what gives any of us the right to determine what is honorable when it comes to another individual and his/her God?

Paula, who am I to judge? Mr. Vance enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps in 2003. He was assigned as a military journalist in public affairs until 2007. It's not like he had a wealthy father, assuring he would be relieved of combat duty!
My husband's father enlisted in the Army. Because of his education and writing ability, he was assigned as a contributing writer of 7 volumes of the official "History of the Army Air Force in World War II." Does that indicate his contribution should be belittled?
I was advised to enlist in the military, which I failed to heed. Had I been wise enough to do so, I doubt if I would have qualified to be a Marine.
Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes.
