No, he did not. He had both medical and educational exemptions.
Donald Trump attended New York Military Academy (1959-64), a private boarding school; Fordham University in the Bronx (1964-66); and the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Finance and Commerce (1966-68), where he graduated with a bachelor's degree in economics. In 1968, during the Vietnam War, he secured a diagnosis of bone spurs, which qualified him for a medical exemption from the military draft (he had earlier received four draft deferments for education). Upon his graduation Trump began working full-time for his father's business, helping to manage its holdings of rental housing, then estimated at between 10,000 and 22,000 units.
