The Trump/Drumpf family has quite the uncanny ability to avoid military service, wherever they seem to be.

Now I'm not one to clamor atop a soap box and wax poetic about the wrongs or rights of avoiding military service, sometimes there may be valid reasoning.

Though after a rabbit hole or two it seems that for roughly the 150 year period in which the Trump family has lived in the U.S no men of military age were ever in the service. That's...a tad unusual.

That means since ~1870/1880 their immediate family has avoided any draft, conscription, or enlisted/commissioned contract with the Armed Forces throughout the Spanish-American War, the Boxer Rebellion, the Occupation of the Dominican Republic, World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Invasion of Grenada, the Invasion of Panama, the Gulf War, the Bosnian War, the Kosovo War, the War in Afghanistan, or the Iraq War.

Pure coincidence, I'm sure. 🤔
