Trump fires back. This is going to back fire on him

@karentravers: Trump just now on John McCain: "He's a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren't captured."

Trump fires back. This is going to back fire on him

No way did he just say that.

Oh god i think we need a new thread for that.

He sure got McCain! ...and every other American serviceman that's been captured during a war.

Everything that comes out of this guys mouth is pure gold. xD

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

This is the greatest Republican troll job of all time.

 

[friskykillface]

Trump the gods first bad move

Ok..this is THE stupidest thing he could have done. Unless the crazies now hate war vets..which, fuck it. I could see it happening..

LMAO...this ride truly never ends.

The crazies supporting him have been calling McCain a RINO for years upon years, so I doubt they really care.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

How to piss off the majority of Americans in one easy step!

 

[Carnby]

Hillary Clinton brought out the crazies when she released the picture of Obama in a Kenyan outfit during her campaign. But that's not at all like this.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

It's funny since McCain pandered to the kooks after getting the GOP nomination.

 

[FiggyCal]

This should backfire. But I bet it won't.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Yeah, but I know plenty of regular ass republicans that have been on that trip since way before he ran for president. This? This is something else completely. Like I said..wouldn't surprise me if this was ok all of the damn sudden..

 

[DrForester]

I don't know. When you start insulting POWs I think you can bet there will be some outrage.

No way...

 

[Makai]

I am in awe. 3 weeks until showtime.

 

[Kusagari]

The one thing this says to me is that Trump, on a live stage completely unfiltered, could go full nuclear in the debates.

He clearly does not give a single fuck.

Here is the video. It was on CSPAN

Oh, you didn't know?

And he says it in the most Donald Trump way. I'd like to see people defend this..truly. I want to see vets say "He's right!" to this crap..

Wow and the response from the crowd was to laugh...

Oh, you didn't know?

Enlighten us. The only thing I could find on Google were articles from birther websites.

There are people that support his statement.

 

[wildfire]

He would know.

He did the same with his VP choice.

Palin was an unknown quantity at the time. She was picked as a move to make the party look progressive.

The backfire was huge.

 

[PhoenixDark]

Wow @ Trump's comment.

 

[Shao Kahn on the Lawn]

Ok..this is THE stupidest thing he could have done. Unless the crazies now hate war vets..which, fuck it. I could see it happening..

That's not even a hypothetical: they already went there with John Kerry and, more recently, a gay soldier asking a question from the front lines of their war.

 

[Owzers]

I hoped trump would get the nomination but he's just can't stop himself from constant petty attacks.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

That's not even a hypothetical: they already went there with John Kerry and, more recently, a gay soldier asking a question from the front lines of their war.

So, a democrat and a teh gayz (who they likely label a democrat). That's par for the course. I've personally can't remember hearing anyone go after McCain for being a POW..likely because it's idiotic. Guess I could be wrong here?

How to piss off the majority of Americans in one easy step!

why would I be pissed. Trump is right. Mccains entire career is based off being a chump during the war. This is why we deserve trump. Just keep it fuckin real.

 

[Carnby]

Enlighten us. The only thing I could find on Google were articles from birther websites.

Obama has battled a whispering campaign by fringe elements who wrongly say he is Muslim and his aides accused Clinton's campaign of "the most shameful, offensive fear-mongering" after the photograph was published.

So not analogous ...

Clintons riled up the crazy right. Not the nutters whitin her party she helped to create.

 

[Kifimbo]

Since Trump is a draft dodger, his statement is even more ridiculous.

Regardless, you can thank her for the birthers.

In b4 "not my hilldawg."

Trump outsmarted the Vietcong by dodging the draft. Why wasn't McCain smart enough to do the same?

 

[RDreamer]

Well, he's done.

Jesus Christ that like the worst possible statement he could ever make on that.

 

[Quazar]

What an idiot. Hopefully this is it from Donald Trump

 

[Crosseyes]

If McCain hadn't been such a poor soldier he could've bootstrapped his way out of there and never been captured in the first place!

Spoiler

cant wait for him in debates

 

[Fenderputty]

Nope. Try harder.

agreed. We dont want to send people like trump to war. Who's going to rebuild the country after? The random busboy or farmer that comes back?

Nope. Try harder next time.

 

[1.21Gigawatts]

The crazies: The people who watch Bill O'Reilly, Hannity and listen to Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Back.
They also make up a considerable amount of the republican base.

If McCain is uncomfortable with those people he might as well change party, because without them the republicans won't win an election ever again.

 

[EatinOlives]

I remember when McCain did some of his firing up of crazies of his own when he not-so-covertly kept trying to paint Obama as secretly not American.

Now Trump, of course, is an asshole of the highest caliber, but I have no sympathy for the GOP when they were the ones who had the brilliant idea of pandering to the uneducated, racist, hate-filled jingoists.

You are talking to one of the most liberal userbases on the internet. What did you think you would accomplish with this?

Wow this guy! Gotta love how the Huffington Post moved his coverage to their entertainment section.

 

[Kifimbo]

Spin:

I am not a fan John McCain because he has done so little for our Veterans and he should know better than anybody what the Veterans need, especially in regards to the VA. He is yet another all talk, no action politician who spends too much time on television and not enough time doing his job and helping the Vets. He is also allowing our military to decrease substantially in size and strength, something which should never be allowed to happen.

Furthermore, he was extremely disrespectful to the thousands upon thousands of people, many of whom happen to be his constituents, that came to listen to me speak about illegal immigration in Phoenix last week by calling them "crazies".

These were not "crazies"---these were great American citizens.

I have great respect for all those who serve in our military including those that weren't captured and are also heroes.

I want to strengthen our military and take care of our Veterans. I want to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN especially for those that serve to protect our freedom. I am fighting for our Veterans!

 

[Replicant]

Which one is crazier though? Pot or Kettle?
