Trump is seen in high school, a few years before he was exempted from the draft
The daughters of a now-dead podiatrist have claimed that he provided the diagnosis of bone spurs that exempted Donald Trump from the Vietnam War draft, suggesting it was in exchange for commercial rent concessions from Trump's father Fred Trump.
Dr. Elysa Braunstein, 56, and Sharon Kessel, 53, made the sensational claim to the New York Times, claiming their father Dr. Larry Braunstein diagnosed Donald Trump in 1968.
Dr. Larry Braunstein died in 2007, and the Times was unable find any documentary evidence to back up the daughters' claims, which surfaced when the newspaper contacted the family based on an anonymous tip. The daughters are both Democrats and say that they do not like Donald Trump.
'I know it was a favor,' Elysa Braunstein told the Times, adding that her father had implied that Trump did not have the foot ailment that disqualified him from military service. 'But did he examine him? I don't know,' she said.

Larry Braunstein rented his office in the Queens neighborhood of Jamaica from Donald Trump's father.
The doctor's daughters said that he was able to remain there for years without a rent increase.
The daughters suggested that the bone spur diagnosis got their father favorable treatment from Fred Trump, and that the podiatrist was able to quickly get the landlord to resolve any issues with a phone call.
'What he got was access to Fred Trump,' Elysa Braunstein said. 'If there was anything wrong in the building, my dad would call and Trump would take care of it immediately. That was the small favor that he got.'
The daughters also suggested that another podiatrist, family friend Dr. Manny Weinstein, had some involvement in the affair, though exactly what is not clear. It is possible Weinstein had some connection to the draft board.
Weinstein lived in two Brooklyn apartments owned by Fred Trump, and moved into the first the year that Donald Trump received his exemption, the Times reported. Weinstein died in 1995.
Donald Trump had received four education deferments from the draft when, in the fall of 1968, the bone spur diagnosis made him suddenly medically ineligible.

Multiple doctors would have been involved in Donald Trump's classification as 1-Y, the now-defunct category for medical deferment that was later merged into 4-F.
Local draft boards relied upon physical exams overseen by military doctors, although men could bring in documentation from private doctors noting any medical concerns.
Often, a civilian specialist working with the exam station might be asked to review a case and make a recommendation.
The local draft board would then finalize a man's classification.
Larry Braunstein's daughters said that he was initially proud of being able to do a favor for someone famous.
But they said that over the years, as Trump became a fixture in the gossip pages of New York's tabloids, their father grew to regret the decision.
They could not offer any documentation to back up their claim, but said the story was told often within their family.
'It was family lore,' said Elysa Braunstein. 'It was something we would always discuss.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
