Quote:Trump Boasted of Avoiding STDs While Dating: ‘Vaginas Are Landmines … It Was My Personal Vietnam’

In an unearthed interview from 1997, Donald Trump claimed he was a “brave soldier” for avoiding STDs during his single years in the late ’90s.

“It’s amazing, I can’t even believe it. I’ve been so lucky in terms of that whole world, it is a dangerous world out there. It’s like Vietnam, sort of. It is my personal Vietnam. I feel like a great and very brave solider,” Trump said in the interview when Howard Stern asked how he handled making sure he wasn’t contracting STDs from the women he was sleeping with.



The business-mogul-turned-politician elaborated on the fact in the interview, calling women’s vaginas “potential landmines” and saying “there’s some real danger there.”


Also appearing on Stern’s show in 1993, Trump bragged about his promiscuous lifestyle while single and stated that men who didn’t go to Vietnam didn’t need to feel guilty because dating during the AIDS epidemic in the ’80s was also dangerous.

“You know, if you’re young, and in this era, and if you have any guilt about not having gone to Vietnam, we have our own Vietnam — it’s called the dating game,” Trump said to Stern in a 1993 interview. “Dating is like being in Vietnam. You’re the equivalent of a soldier going over to Vietnam.”

The presidential candidate seems to have changed his mind, however, as he stated in a New Hampshire rally in late 2015 that he “always felt a little guilty” for not being drafted due to an existing foot problem.

Trump’s many appearances on Stern’s show have come under scrutiny ever since the beginning of his campaign. Often lewd and inappropriate, especially when it comes to women, the interviews seem to exhibit more of the crass talk seen in the 2005 leaked Access Hollywood video where Trump is heard bragging about grabbing women “by the p——” and that he can “do whatever” he wants to them because he’s a “star.”



The Republican candidate has dismissed these statements as “just words” and called them “locker-room talk” during the town hall presidential debate on Oct. 9 and denied ever sexually assaulting a woman.

However, since the release of the tapes, Trump has been accused of sexual assault by a number of women — including a former PEOPLE magazine reporter.

Well, Trump did go to a military prep school and received "more training militarily than a lot of the guys that go into the military" and Trump "always felt that I was in the military" because he "dealt with those people" so now we know why Trump knows "more about ISIS than the generals" even though the "foot thing" prevented him from actually serving in the military.

I wonder what medal Trump will award himself for grabbing all those "landmines"?

As someone who was "of age" during the Vietnam era, I can assure everyone that slogging through rice paddies for a year in 100-degree weather at 95% humidity with an 80-lb pack on your back while dodging pungee stakes and mortars is a cakewalk compared to trolling bars and parties every weekend looking to hook up.

Frankly I am tired of vets getting all this credit for sacrifice and heroism under fire, especially losers like McCain who let themselves get shot down and caught.  Do any of these guys have a clue what it is like trying to keep your balance at 1:45 am in a smoky bar while throwing down shots of tequila to impress a potential "score" before closing??  And the morning after . . . well, I don't even want to go there. You had to be there or you just don't get it.   

Don't waste time feeling guilty, Donald. I have little doubt you are the very embodiment of the WARRIOR ETHOS we need in a president.  And you are neat too. My mother always placed a premium on that.
