How so?
A brave or heroic act implies that there is a great risk or cost associated with the act.
Loss of life. Loss of something major.
What does a 70 year old billionaire have to lose?
I don't see the bravery or heroism there.

But what risk does a 70 year old billionaire have by running for office?
Nothing heroic about it.
So in your opinion what was brave or heroic about it?
Shouldn't throw that term out for everything. Like everything else it will lose meaning

Deferment for bone spurs in the feet is not draft dodging.

That's OUR president!
But another witness, who asked not to be identified, supported Trump's tale.

I'm surprised your Stil promoting fake news. Heel spurs would not get him a medical discharge. They are a temporary condition at best it would have bought him 3 to 6 months before he was back in lottery.
The diagnosis resulted in a coveted 1-Y medical deferment that fall, exempting him from military service as the United States was undertaking huge troop deployments to Southeast Asia, inducting about 300,000 men into the military that year.

I always find it very brave when a person speaks up for what they really believe and does something about it

What an absolutely ridiculous topic.
Good for Trump if he scared a mugger back in the 90's, regardless of which version of the story is true. But I'm not seeing how that validates what he said about running in to the school.
Most people in that room would not have run in to that school and most likely neither would have Trump. He is talking out of his ass and I find it amusing that there are so many brainwashed fanboys on a website full of people that claim to be enlightened.
"That's my president"...
Oh, how cute.
Idiots.

“you don’t know until you test it.” But he said he believed he would have exhibited bravery “even if I didn’t have a weapon, and I think most of the people in this room would have done that, too.”
Trump says he would have run into Florida school without a weapon
