I'm convinced that a toddler will be next on his hit list, and when he LITERALLY takes candy from a baby, rest assured that the Trumpettes will be here to debate the meaning of the word "take" and to call the toddler a "dirty, lazy, liberal who wants free stuff".
he isn't insulting anyone. if you feel insulted, that's a you problem.

No, but when you are running for President, do you know how many people are scrutinizing you on daily basis? When you are in the position of being a leader, especially of a country, you have to be above that. Being criticized and insulted by the media is the way it is for all presidents, including Obama, both Bushes, Clinton, Reagan and pretty much any other president. I mean didn't Chavez call Bush the devil in front of the whole UN? Imagine if Bush would have stooped to Hugo Chavez's level and started calling him the devil too and what not. It solves nothing and only causes more tension and division.

Apparently, Trump can't handle the heat in the kitchen. He is too thin skinned to be president.

Trump sacrificed about as much as Hillary and Obama did. In other words, Not at all. They are all elitists who feel entitled.

where you in their house the moment his son told his parents that he was enlisting and they were happy and proud?
They don't have to happy and proud. They only have to love him. They only have to cherish the time they had with their son. They only have to accept his choice, and to pray for his safe return.

Pretty much says it all. No one who hasn't served, or lost someone in service go their nations has a right to challenge the Kahns for their loss.

why do you have to be above that? maybe the country is in shambles and disrespected because we have leaders who permit insults to fly and not say a word. its called respect. i do agree with you that he's supposed to ignore these people, but if he fires back, i can't crush him for it, i know because donald is from new york and that's where i grew up too and i know the mental makeup of a person like him, its HARD to just sit back and take it, i don't think in my entire life i've let someone take a cheapie at me without coming back hard, that's just what we do.

It takes a while for Trump supporters to answer, he doesn't use shills who just sitting waiting for another post to pop up.
I am not convinced at all on Trump's so called focus on economic iussues and security. He can't let this "back and forth" with the Gold Star family go.

He lost a lot of credibility on security when he insulted the military's generals. He said he knew more about ISIS than they did. He also has already damaged our NATO relationships. We can do better.

Agree to disagree.

The "dreams" line doesn't work either. By that standard, every parent sacrifices when their child doesn't do exactly what they dreamed they would do. At some point people become individuals with free will. And why is the military a dream crushing career choice?

That's why Hillary hasn't had many news conferences - of course the lies she tells when she does just generates more voters who will look elsewhere for a candidate.

Donald may not have social skills - I give you that - but neither does Hillary. The fact that one is establishment and the other one isn't is what's changing this whole spectrum - TG.
