20. Not really relevant
Obama came of age after the draft had been abolished. Obama registered with selective service at 18 and that is all the law required/s.

When Donald Trump turned 18 the draft was in full effect and since he did not serve, he would have had to have found some way from doing so - either by deferment, joining the national guard or exemption due to a 4-F classification. The OP/article isn't asking if Trump served. We know he didn't serve. The question is: how did Trump avoid service?
