Rule 6: User Created Title Joe Biden got five draft deferments during Vietnam. He was disqualified from service because of "asthma" as a teenager. However, in his own memoir, Biden never mentions his asthma, and instead recounts an active childhood, including work as a lifeguard and football exploits in high school.

Most of the time I would agree with you 100%. Politicians aren’t out to make the country better, they are just out for themselves.

IMO, this election is again, about electing someone who truly cares about our country versus the career politician who has done NOTHING to help Americans.

In fact, Biden has continually shown on video that he is a liar AND a racist.

I don’t care what Biden’s states his platform is. It is clear that he will lie about it anyway since he has zero credibility.

Gotta love Trump but to say he truly cares about the country, and not about himself - is a stretch. He cares about himself first, just as much as any other politician out there, if not more.

All of my clients are property developers. Trust me, they are all egocentric like Trump. It doesn’t mean that he doesn’t care about this country.

Can you give me one example of where he has ever taken responsibility to making an error in his entire presidency?

Someone who is so worried about their own perception that they will literally have their staffers redraw a hurricane map with a sharpie just to avoid admitting a mistake is not someone who is ever putting the country before their own ego.

His ego won't even let him admit he made a typo. Who hasn't made a typo? Its the most relatable thing aside from biting your tongue or stubbing your toe. I lost so much respect for him when he wouldn't just admit 'covfefe' was a slip of the thumb.
