You are insinuating that gold star parents can simply be paid off for their support? Wow, that's insulting to families that above criticism.

well, it seems like this particular vet has a lot of confidence in Trump. Hope Trump won't let him down.

Another fail!
Better to be hung for doing the right thing, and having it show as transparent partisan BS, than to do the wrong thing, and the bashing be justified....

To be fair to Trump (and I am an absolute hater of him), I think his comment about "this was easier" (or whatever he said) was likely just a failed attempt to try to tell the Vet that HE (the vet) earned it, and Trump didn't put forth the effort he did.

It's one time where I'll defend him on one small thing. Everything else about him, about his acceptance of the medal and his candidacy is beyond classless, but I think that the interpretation of that one comment is misguided.

Already had one person say he should've pinned it on his lapel...another said lay it down somewhere and others have said turn it down. Let's be honest - you can attack for any of those options if that's your goal.

If the vet was happy with Trump's response - that's what matters.

If that's all that truly mattered this wouldn't have been a 3-4 day media story. Trump's never takes the high road.

Yes it would've, but I'll agree to disagree.

More that one poster here said the same thing about the Khan family. Many posters said he was paid by Clinton.

I'd even bet you were one of them. Your fake outrage is laughable.

It's amazing to me that when people actually see Trump say things LIVE his supporters deny that he said them. Trump never once mentioned how McCain was caught.
