Trump enjoyed the same college deferments (2-S) many did. After graduating from Wharton, he was reclassified 1-A on 9 July 1968. Trump underwent an Armed Forces physical examination (with a result listed only as “DISQ”) on 19 September 1968 and was reclassified 1-Y (qualified for service only in time of war or national emergency) on 15 October 1968. According to a statement from the Trump campaign, the 1-Y classification stemmed from Trump’s having bone spurs in both heels.

On 17 February 1972 he was reclassified 4-F (not qualified for military service), presumably due to the abolishment of the 1-Y classification the previous year.

Trump took his Armed Forces physical examination so at he showed up for the dance. That's good enough for me.
