He was not "mad" that he lost his son in a pointless war. Or, if he was that is not what he said. He was talking about the sleazeball Trumplican (Republicans outside of their leaders who won't speak out don't deserve to be lumped in with Trump) candidate who insults ALL Muslims, argues for spying on them, and refuses to accept them as equal citizens in our country.
We should spy on them.
They're committing acts of terrorism, in case you haven't noticed.
1993 World Trade Center bombing, 9/11, Boston Marathon, Fort Hood, San Bernardino, Chatanooga, Orlando.
All of them acts of terrorism by Muslims.

Exactly.
We shouldn't be allowing ANY immigration when we have unemployed people and people on welfare.
And once we do have full employment, we should only accept immigrants who are culturally compatible with us and have something to offer. Being an impoverished Muslim doesn't fulfill that requirement.

The disrespect is coming FROM the family of the fallen soldier -- using him as a political club.
Pathetic and disgusting.

They attacked him, he didn't attack them.
I think you have things backwards.
He has a right to defend himself.
And if they really were "in a lot of pain," why were they shamelessly exploiting their son's death to make a political attack in front of millions of people?
People who are truly in pain do not do that.

I like him, Mr. Trump. I have always been a fan. But I don't think he is right for the job.
So who is right for the job?
Hillary?
One or the other of them is going to be the next president -- unless Hillary finally gets arrested for her many crimes.

When are these trump supporters (more like fans of a t.v. celebrity) going to acknowledge and admit that trump is a mean spirited, hateful, nasty-a**, vile provocateur?!!!
I can only assume that his supporters are equally as vile. What other possibility is there at this point? My God.
What the h*** is going on?
Is this like a friggin football game to his fans or something? It's unbelievable.
Are the trump supporters getting off on this like trump is? And he is getting off on it. God i wish his home were bugged so that people would finally see what he's doing!!!
A woman from Canada said the other day that Canadians are always watching what goes on down here but now they can't take their eyes off this spectacle. Is that what this is about? that trump and his fans are engaged in some weird show and grooving on the fact that everyone is watching and can't look away because it's so negatively shocking? .... that his supporters are just an extension of his own narcissism and desperate need for attention? .... that they want to live vicariously through this guy?
I'm not a big fan of H.C. but she's just a typical politician who may or may not be a good or great president.
She has some issues but she is not insane. And she's not filled with this vile and nasty energy. She's just a tough woman who isn't particularly likeable to the public at large. And i think, given the fact that Sanders has transformed her campaign, she may very well surprise people and actually be a great president. I don't know. God forbid anything really heinous is revealed about her between now and the election that will give trump the presidency.
Regardless, anyone who thinks that, at this point, trump is fit to be president is equally as insane as he is.
And there's nothing that could come out about H.C. that would make her anywhere near as bad as he.
The guy isn't right in the head. Seriously!
And he said that he could shoot someone and people would still vote for him. Doesn't that tell y'all something?
So you trump supporters are either really stupid, quite delusional or you're really liking this show and really drooling at the prospect of trump becoming president and throwing this country into a really chaotic state and effecting the world in very negative way.
Man, you think Obama had a difficult time getting things done?! If trump were to become president, it'll be so much worse in that regard. And so much energy will be spent .... wasted!!! .... by so many people because of him. He's a parasite sucking the energy from so many people and he's giving nothing back and that's not going to change. He is a parasite! Truly. He's feeding off this. It's really creepy. Bad man. Very bad man.
I suspect that many people feel themselves to be so powerless and that they're so frustrated in their inability to create positive change that chaos and destruction is their only alternative.
And for those trump supporters who aren't delusional and aren't stupid and don't like this show, get smart about this guy. Be willing to be wrong about him. If he's elected there will be, at best, 4 wasted years with no creative change, unbelievable divisiveness and negativity. No wall will be built. None of the b.s. will come to pass. He's a big mouthed bully manipulating millions of people who, for whatever reasons, either can't see this guy with any objectivity or are as vile as he. It's incredibly cynical.
With all the spin going on here lets look at the reality that CLINTON is the one who got the Muslim mans son KILLED with her vote to go to war.....And TRUMP is the bad guy for defending himself??
Mrs. Khan did not refrain from speaking because she's a female Muslim. She didn't speak because she knew she'd break down crying.
Oh, please.
She and her husband didn't have to speak at all in front of millions of people if they were so "broken up."
The way they exploited their son's death to make a cheap political point is beyond disgraceful!

Obama and Hillary want to bring in Thousands of Muslim Refugees from Terrorist infested Countries, and want you to pay for it, even after they have seen what and who these people are, and the turmoil they are causing in Europe. No one in the White house is "provoked" to do what the people want. Maybe its time to have some one in there, that will be provoked enough to do something for Americans besides doing everything to appease other Nations.
Its already to ugly and too dangerous here. Ask a Local Cop.
Well said!

It was the Khans' exploiting their own son's death for political purposes that was stupid, hateful, petty, mean, idiotic and cold-hearted.

So he should double down on that lie? We have precisely one public statement from Trump where he expressed any actual position on the war before it started, in which he offered up, what's that, oh yeah, support (albeit not strong) for invading Iraq.
The Benghazi mother was attacked by the left and told to get over it. She was called a liar. I say we are even. I could give a rat's a** about this Khan "controversy". Another diversion from the the real subjects in this election. Good for you Don, never back down.

Yes. And they claim to have a lock on 'love for the military'. They are sickening hypocrites.

Donald certainly knows how to pander to the lowest common denominator - his supporters. He farts and they cheer.

Instead, he tried to claim his self-proclaimed success in business was a "sacrifice."
Abhorrent.
I'm pretty sure Donald needs to look up the word 'sacrifice'.

That's where this all started -- at the democrook convention.
Anyone with emotional intelligence would understand that a father using his dead son as a political weapon is beyond repulsive and the very height of immorality.
Says the party who paraded a very distraught mother of a dead son.
Trump didn't kill his son -- unlike Hillary, who killed the ambassador in Benghazi by refusing to provide him with needed and repeatedly requested security.
How many Republican investigations do you require to admit that Hillary didn't 'kill any ambassadors'? Trey Gowdy was forced to exonerate her.
He should have just pointed out that it was Hillary who supported the war that got their son killed, whereas he was against it all along.
You can connect the political dots all you want to, it's a free country, but in the end this soldier swore to uphold our Constitution and obey his Commander in Chief, and he paid the ultimate price. Trump could have paid homage to his sacrifice, instead he chose to attack his parents for their political views.
