Trump was asked in an interview with Piers Morgan on “Good Morning Britain” about his lack of military service as the president prepared to attend a ceremony commemorating the 75th anniversary of D-Day.

“I would not have minded that at all,” Trump responded when asked if he wished he’d been able to serve his country.

“I would’ve been honored. But I think I make up for it right now… and I think I’m making up for it rapidly because we’re rebuilding our military at a level that it’s never seen before,” he added, citing defense spending increases under his administration.
