"Draft-dodger Donald Trump once said that the danger he faced from getting sexually transmitted diseases was his own “personal Vietnam.”
In a 1997 interview with shock jock Howard Stern, Trump talked about how he had been “lucky” not to have contracted diseases when he was sleeping around.

Why don't you do like I do and delete all this Trump nonsense. I really can't stand seeing the man's face or hearing his garbage. Egads, what a circus !
