Podiatrist's daughters say bone spur diagnosis that helped Trump avoid 
Vietnam draft was 'favor'

WASHINGTON – Two daughters of a New York podiatrist say that 50 years ago 
their father diagnosed President Donald Trump with bone spurs in his heels 
as a favor to the doctor's landlord, Fred Trump, The New York Times 
reported Wednesday.

Trump received five deferments from the draft for military service during 
the Vietnam War. He received four education deferments while he was a 
college student and a fifth deferment in 1968 for a medical exemption after 
he graduated. 

Larry Braunstein, who died in 2007, rented a ground floor office in a 
building owned by Trump in Jamaica, Queens. His daughters, Elysa 
Braunstein, 56, and Sharon Kessel, 53, told the Times that their father's 
role in Trump's diagnosis had become "family lore." 

"It was something we would always discuss," Elysa Braunstein told the 
Times. She and her sister are both Democrats who oppose Trump, according to 
the newspaper. 

Elysa Braunstein said their father made the diagnosis to gain access to the 
landlord and that she didn't know if her father even examined the junior 
Trump.  

"I know it was a favor," Elysa Braunstein said. 

"What he got was access to Fred Trump," she told the Times. "If there was 
anything wrong in the building, my dad would call and Trump would take care 
of it immediately. That was the small favor that he got."

The women did not offer any documentation to back up their claims. They 
said their father's story also involved a second podiatrist, Manny 
Weinstein, who died in 1995. Weinstein's landlord was also Fred Trump. 

In October, the Times reported on how much Fred Trump helped his son 
through the years, giving him what today would be more than $410 million. 

Questions about Trump's deferments have dogged him at least since 2011 when 
The Smoking Gun published an extract of his draft record. Critics have 
noted that Trump was an athlete who enjoyed playing football, baseball, 
squash, tennis and golf in the years before his medical deferment. 

"I was the best baseball player in New York when I was young," Trump told 
interviewer Michael D'Antonio in 2014. "I was always the best at sports." 

"It was a long time ago," Trump told reporters at a July 2015 campaign 
rally in Iowa. "I had student deferments and then ultimately had a medical 
deferment because of my feet. I had a bone spur." 

When asked which foot had the problem, Trump – who has claimed to have "one 
of the greatest memories of all time" – told reporters that he could not 
remember. His campaign later released a statement saying the spurs affected 
both feet. 

The late Sen. John McCain, a Vietnam veteran whom Trump said was not a war 
hero because he got captured, took a veiled shot at the president's medical 
deferment during an October 2017 C-SPAN interview. 

"One aspect of the conflict, by the way, that I will never ever countenance 
is that we drafted the lowest-income level of America, and the highest-
income level found a doctor that would say that they had a bone spur. That 
is wrong. That is wrong. If we are going to ask every American to serve, 
every American should serve," McCain said.
