Up above I am thanking you!
Now I ask, if someone gives someone something, it is disrespectful to reject it, don't your think?
As for putting the heart in his pocket, you surely didn't expect him to pin in on himself, did you?
My ONLY reason for voting for Trump is so Hillary doesn't win.......the thought of her as President is absolutely nauseating. I can't believe out of all the people in this country, we can't find someone dedicated to this country and not their pocketbook from both parties!
You know what I find amazing? The man can't do a damn thing right in some of y'alls eyes.
Trump is damned if he does, damned if he dont.
blah, blah, blah he insulted a gold star family blah blah blah
blah blah blah how dare he! He accepted someone's purple heart...and he kept it blah blah blah.
No, he can, but he's a damn fool...so, he wouldn't!
yes, and that cartoon character is going to help the vets so they don't have to kill themselves due to not receiving proper and timely care. you know those vets that you stand and clap for when they're shown at the jumbotron at sporting events, yeah, those guys, the guys you thank on the street for their service, the guy's and gals you buy a beer for if you can.
He has absolutely no class at all. Someone should give him a shovel.
Donald Trump gifted Purple Heart, says he 'always wanted' one - CNNPolitics.com
Ashburn, Virginia (CNN) — A military veteran supporting Donald Trump gifted the Republican nominee his Purple Heart Tuesday, prompting Trump to say he "always wanted to get the Purple Heart" and this was "much easier" than serving in combat.
Purple Hearts are awarded to service members who suffer wounds in combat.
"Something very nice just happened to me. A man came up to me and handed me his Purple Heart," Trump told supporters at a campaign event here. "I said to him, 'Is that like the real one or is that a copy?' And he said, 'That's my real Purple Heart. I have such confidence in you.'"
Trump received the veteran on stage at the start of the rally to receive the decoration.
"I always wanted to get the Purple Heart. This was much easier," Trump said.
This is disgusting given Trump's stance on P.o.W.s like John McCain not being hero heroes, his faux fundraiser where HE ended up writing a check after claiming he raised five times the amount he actually did, and then this past week he criticised the family of a Gold Star war hero. I had several family members serve in WW1, WW2 and Korea. Trump don't deserve that medal and that veteran is a disgrace to this nation for handing over his purple heart to a man who claims to be for the armed forces but it is just a bunch of lip service malarkey.
"While Trump now has a Purple Heart, his statement that it is an original is incorrect. Dorfman confirmed to NBC’s Katy Tur that he gave the billionaire a copy of the award, not the original."
