(That photo looks to be from Trump’s honeymoon to wife Ivana in 1977; McCain was released in 1973.)
When asked why he didn’t serve in Vietnam, Trump said he earned a medical deferment because of a bone spur … just don’t press him on which foot had the debilitating injury because he doesn’t remember:

Coincidentally, McCain had foot problems, too, when he returned from Vietnam:
