Donald J. Trump ?@realDonaldTrump This story is not about Mr. Khan, who is all over the place doing interviews, but rather RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISM and the U.S. Get smart! 6:27 AM - 1 Aug 2016 Donald J. Trump? @realDonaldTrump Mr. Khan, who does not know me, viciously attacked me from the stage of the DNC and is now all over T.V. doing the same - Nice! Big difference in calling a grieving widow an idiot. You are so partisan you can't even tell the difference. |
You're comparing a no-name political operative to the guy who is now the President of the US. Talk about a false equivalency. No one gives a sh#t what that moron Grilo (who????) says. |
No one cares that a Clintonite dem called a gold star wife an "idiot?" Wonder why he deleted his twitter, then? |
|
Dems so cold hearted they excuse this kind of terrible treatment of a widow. Pathetic.
You are revealing your true nature, keep it up. |
You're searching for offense. I bet there were a lot of other morons on Twitter last night saying awful things about her. But they have zero power or influence. Face it: Trump shat all over the Khan family and kept attacking them. He said he doesn't like POW's who "get caught." He called our military weak and "not winners," neither of which are remotely true except who those see the military as aggrieved victims (of what???). Trump has zero respect for the military outside of their use as pawns for his popularity. |
Uh what? The guy is an ass-hat. Why do any other Democrats need to answer for him? He speaks for no one but himself. |
No, it is offensive. You aren't offended this woman was called an idiot? |
|
Please read the thread. He is being defended here. |
DP... Grilo is not being defended here. We are saying there is a difference between a POTUS making denigrating our military people (I like guys who don't get caught, people who have ptsd are mentally weak, I know more about ISIS than the generals) vs a private citizen being a jerk. You Trumpsters have such a low bar for him as POTUS that he can do no wrong. Low expectations = low results. |
|
There's also a difference in a family of the fallen entering the political arena to endorse a candidate VS honoring the memory of a newly fallen Seal and supporting his widow.

POTUS is popular with mil ppl.
Retiree with Retiree spouse, son Marine. Marine set to deploy in summer. Trump all day. |
...the only reason they entered the political arena was because of DJT's blatantly anti-Muslim rhetoric on the campaign trail. Someone had to show that Muslims can also be American patriots. I wish service members and veteran orgs would have spoken up more forcefully to support the Khan's. Instead, most sheepishly remained quiet. |
Did you speak up to defend the Khan family against DJT's attacks? If no, why not? |
The Khan's were using their dead son to garner votes for their candidate. If you insert yourself into a political race you do so willfully, and any push back you receive is on you. We don't know how Cpt Khan felt. The parents were speaking for themselves and their candidates. Last night, the wife of a fallen SEAL was recognized and honored. I am astute enough to not be played, and honor those who deserve it. |
