TRUMP. NOTHING BUT TRUMP

[HairOfTheDog]

I did see Mr. and Mrs. Khan on stage at the DNC and thought Mr. Kahn was a very moving and effective speaker.

I thought he and his wife exemplified well how ignorant it is to disparage all Muslims based on the actions of radicals who invoke Islam to justify their crimes. The Kahns are Americans who lost their son in an act of bravery protecting hundreds of other American servicemen in Iraq. I could feel the pain of their loss and the pride in their country as Mr. Kahn called out Trump for his ant-Muslim proposals and his ignorance of the Constitution.

I don't blame Trump for responding, but his response was so.....Trump. Trump equated the sacrifice of losing a child for your country with the act of creating jobs (in the pursuit of profits), which doesn't make sense to me. Then, he insinuated that Mrs. Kahn didn't speak at the DNC because, as a Muslim woman, she's not allowed to speak for herself. That doesn't make sense either; I saw her speak in an interview after the DNC. She has a hard time talking about her son without crying and leans on her husband; I understand that.
