Letter to the editor: This leader has no credibility

“Which foot?” The man with the “greatest memory ever,” can’t remember. The foot can vary from one or the other to both, depending on the answer. Personal draft-dodging was not sufficiently important to make a lasting impression, or interfere with baseball and golf. 
Larry Braunstein’s heirs suspect Donald wasn’t there. The bone spur exam that never happened produced a perfect “very strong letter” from the doctor-tenant, who leased from Fred. “Dad needed landlord access,” his daughters say. The original quid pro quo, so to speak, and typical of how transactions occur in an amoral world, a trait continued genetically through inheritance. 
In fairness, I don’t recall exactly which leg carries the most shrapnel. Two dozen in the left, one dozen in the right, or the other way around. In conclusion, the Commander in chief is not qualified to lead a service dog across a street, which would be unfair to the dog.
