Trump goes into damage control
If our military decides to decorate a soldier for his service, it really isn’t the citizenry’s right to ignore or question that.
Donald Trump is an entrepreneur, an entertainer, and a world-class self-promoter, but he’s not a politician.
He added that Trump doesn’t owe him an apology – “I’m not a hero“, he said – but should apologize to other prisoners of war and their families.
He feels it was a disrespectful attack by Trump because POWs survive minutes, hours, days, weeks, months and years in confinement. McCain is basically a bully who just got punched in the face.
The poll results have a margin of error of 3.5%, meaning Trump has a comfortable cushion between himself and Walker, the governor of Wisconsin. “It’s ridiculous. And I do think it’s a disqualifier as commander-in-chief”. And that would be with U.S. Sen. Franken? Over the weekend, Trump criticized McCain for not doing enough to help war veterans and questioned whether McCain should be considered a war hero. Anyone can be captured. “I was then entered into the draft because if I would have gotten a different number, I could have been drafted”, Trump said, according to a transcript. “I am not a hero …”
Hutchinson also said before the dinner that invitations were extended to various presidential candidates and that Trump was the first to accept. Trump is “entitled to have a venue to court the vote here in Arkansas”, Hutchinson said last week.
Still, Reid had a challenge for the Republicans running against Trump for the nomination: to explain where they differ from the real estate mogul on immigration. Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton, as well as Republican Sens.
The Washington Post reported the increase was the highest percentage and biggest lead yet recorded in the Republican race for President.
When Lauer accused Trump of misrepresenting McCain’s Vietnam imprisonment, the candidate tersely replied: “Excuse me, Matt, because you’re the media and you do the same thing… just like everybody else”.
In an excerpt from an interview on Fox News’ “The O’Reilly Factor” airing on Monday night, Trump said: “I have respect for Sen”. But not a word from McCain. But here’s a brief recap: McCain, a naval aviator during the Vietnam War, was shot down, held in Hanoi for five years and, despite being tortured, refused release ahead of his comrades. The real-estate developer quickly reversed his position, however, and has insisted he recognized McCain as a hero.
