John McCain, war hero, talks about the Vietnam war and disgusting cowards like Trump.

Quote:
One aspect of the conflict, by the way, that I will never ever countenance is that we drafted the lowest income level of America and the highest income level found a doctor that would say they had a bone spur," McCain told C-SPAN3, American History TV, in an interview about the Vietnam War. "That is wrong. That is wrong. If we are going to ask every American to serve, every American should serve.

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
I had a very respectful conversation with the widow of Sgt. La David Johnson, and spoke his name from beginning, without hesitation!

You’re a sick, sick man, Trump. And a coward. And disgusting.

I hope his patriotic supporters are proud of him picking a fight with a Gold Star widow.

You know, regardless of what he said, the fact that she heard an insult would be enough for a person with integrity to call her and apologize and make amends.

If he had done that it would not have blown up in the media.

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) – Calling himself “unbelievably brave,” Donald Trump said on Monday that he is the only President in U.S. history with the courage to stand up to war widows.

“You look at guys like Obama and Clinton and the Bushes, when it came to war widows, they all blinked,” he said. “For years, we weren’t winning at widows.”

In contrast, Trump said, he has made defeating war widows one of his top priorities as President. “Forget about Iran and China and Little Rocket Man,” he said. “This country has been pushed around by war widows for far too long.”

Trump said that Senator John McCain, who has mocked the President’s draft-dodging during Vietnam, has “never shown an ounce of courage when it comes to fighting war widows.”

“McCain can talk about what he did in Vietnam all he wants,” Trump said. “But the guys who have gone toe to toe with a war widow, contradicted her version of events, and refused to back down—we are the true heroes.”

How many times has Donny bragged about the Dow’s performance since Jan 20th? Dozens, amiright? No mention that it’s primarily an extension of the stupendous gains under the Obama administration, and speculation about the upcoming tax “reform” which has little chance of passing, as it would destroy Medicare and Social Security.

As with all things Trump, he’s overstating. At nine months in, “his” gains are still behind Obama’s. Sorry, all you Trump supporters, he’s lying to you yet again. Highly unlikely that the Dow will continue its gains once the tax bill fails...

Pretty sure it's the income tax that's in the GOP's sights.

Sen Flake says what the rest of the Repube cowards are thinking but afraid to say about the idiot in chief.
