He Would Become Commander-in-Chief By Disrespecting U.S. Troops Wounded in War?

     When even Sarah Palin's son-in-law, a Medal of Honor recipient, urges Donald Trump to apologize to the Khan family, it should be obvious that the concept of human decency can flow from a relative of one of the billionaire's battiest supporters, the incomparable former Governor of Alaska, who, it must be said, also has a son who served in the Iraq War, unlike Trump, whose children have never worn military uniforms, like their father, who received during the Vietnam War five draft deferments in spite of being in good (physical) health.
     Shitting on the Khan family, who lost their son in the Iraq War due to his heroism that saved lives among others in his unit as well as civilians, wasn't enough for Trump, regarding military matters pertaining to the fortunes of those who actually fight the wars ordered by others.
     In Virginia yesterday, Donald Trump at a rally was approached by a man who gave him his Purple Heart copy.  He has a real one, but Trump, I guess, merits a copy of the real thing--he is, as is becoming increasingly clear, a copy of a real human being.  Copy or not, the real test came when we got to see and hear what Trump did with this gift:
   
     "You know," Trump said, "something very nice just happened to me.  A man came up to me and handed me his Purple Heart.  He said, 'That's my real Purple Heart I have such confidence in you.'  And I said, 'Man, that's like big stuff.  I've always wanted to get the real Purple Heart.'
     "This was much easier," the psychopath concluded.

     My first question: Did the veteran tell Trump the Purple Heart was actually a copy?  He told an NBC journalist exactly that before the rally.  If he did say to Trump the medal is a copy, the candidate then lied about it being genuine.
     My second question: When I heard Trump's remark about how he "always wanted to get the real Purple Heart," and that "this [way] was much easier," why did I yell at the TV, "YOU SICK FUCK!"? I've never been in the military, never wanted to be in the military.  I'm opposed to the War on Terror, anti-war in general.  I think America's militarism since World War Two has been and is a tremendous problem for the world.  However, recognizing, because I have an imagination, and relatives who have served in the military, including a great-uncle who fought in the Battle of the Bulge and made it to April 1945, when he was shot by an adolescent German sniper; recovered, but had permanent nerve damage in one of his arms, and was a Purple Heart recipient, I'm appalled to the center of my morals by the glibness of this disgusting parasite holding a Purple Heart and acting as if he's been given it for something he deserves.  Unlike Captain Khan or Sarah Palin's son-in-law, Trump has not and never will put his body and life on the line for his country.  He will, however, trivialize actual sacrifice, as we saw with his maltreatment of Mr. and Mrs. Khan.  Now, he's added another category of people he's willing to piss on: wounded veterans, of which there are many.
     Trump seems to have entered the gravitational pull of an abysmal spiral.  His insane old man behavior this past week shows someone getting worse, not better, as the Republican faithful have been hoping for.  Even Chris Christie denounced Trump's attack on Mr. and Mrs. Khan.  He hasn't yet told Trump to go fuck himself, nor has John McCain, who has a Purple Heart and was also shit upon last year when Trump bizarrely attacked the Senator for having been captured during the Vietnam War.
     "I like people who don't get captured," the idiot candidate said in the summer of 2015, and for a little while, pundits thought Trump had destroyed his chances by attacking the sacred subject of American war heroism.  Not so, as we came to see.  Women, minorities, Muslims, Gold Star Families, Ted Cruz's wife and father, high-ranking military men, Angela Merkel, people who fight for their country and get shot, blown up, dismembered.  Trump hates a lot of people.
     But he likes Roger Ailes, the recently fired Fox News president.  Ailes is under scrutiny for having sexually harassed numerous women at Fox, including former news anchor Gretchen Carlson, who's filed a lawsuit against him.  Others, not well known like the former Miss America, Carlson, have consistent independent stories about Roger Ailes' proclivities.  He likes to have women dress up in lingerie and dance for him; by itself just fine, if it's by mutual consent, but when coerced it looks like the fulfillment of the fantasies of a sexually predatory, and rich, creep.  He received forty million dollars in severance pay.  Such is the way of capitalism.
     As I pointed out in my previous post, Trump's surrogates are having a hard time figuring out what to say convincingly about their man's daily grossness.  It must be a difficult morning wake-up for some of his surrogates.  Lie in bed waiting for the snooze alarm to sound for the third time.  Gotta go to work and defend the indefensible.  Is this really a career boost?  Am I about to be told by Jesus to change my ways?  When I check the latest tweet from Trump am I going to continue my research on painless suicide methods?  Will I vote for Hillary Clinton?
