Trump receives Purple Heart from veteran: ‘This was much easier’

A veteran gave Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump a Purple Heart medal before his Tuesday morning rally in Ashburn, Virginia, prompting Trump to comment that “this was much easier” than earning it himself.

The Purple Heart is awarded to members of the U.S. armed forces when they have been wounded or killed in war.

Trump told the audience during his rally that “something very nice just happened to me. A man came up to me and he handed me his Purple Heart.”

As the audience aahed, Trump continued: “I said to him, ‘Is that like the real one or is that a copy? And he said, ‘That’s my real Purple Heart. I have such confidence in you.’”

“And I said, ‘Man that’s big stuff.’ I always wanted to get the Purple Heart. This was much easier, but I tell you it was such an honor.”

Trump, who identified the veteran as retired Lt. Col. Louis Dorfman, then brought him up on stage and shook hands, holding the award up again for the crowd. According to records, Dorfman was wounded in action in November 2007 in Iraq.

I advise caution in going to that link; when I did so, I received a "threat blocked" message.

A perfectly moving moment that he can capitalize on and express public thanks for his service and sacrifice, hand it back, and say he isn't worthy, and show himself an honorable man.. and instead we get:

He just isn't capable of such a response.  It's not in him.

How appropriate, on the day the New York Times writes an article on Trump's FIVE deferments:

As they were with Romney.

Trump is an idiot.  He turns a potentially moving and positive moment into a travesty by running his mouth before he engages his brain.  I wish there was a way to dump him from the ticket before he destroys this country by handing the presidency to Hilary.

The man (boy) has an EQ of zero.  He doesn't have the capacity to understand basic human emotion, empathy, kindness, selflessness....

As has been said, this would have been a perfect opportunity to do something right, and his self-absorption just won't allow it to happen.

The best hope we have to get him off the ticket is for him to step down because he's tired of the game, and wants to go out a "winner."

If he doesn't, Hillary is elected, and the blame lies squarely on the shoulders of Trump and his blind followers.....

The problem is this is a guy who, no matter what he says, doesn't mind losing at all as long as he has protected his downside (The Art of the Deal).  He takes losing positions all the time when he can build his brand on the downside. He sticks his name on a lot of losing propositions (even his prior Presidential run) just so he can build his brand even though he knows the venture in front of him is a losing shot.

I just realized we've been reading this all wrong. This was actually brilliant. Now that Trump is a proud owner of a Purple Heart, no one can question his ability to handle nuclear weapons, or something like that. #6thDimensionChessMove

“And I said, ‘Man that’s big stuff.’ I always wanted to get the Purple Heart. "

If Trump really always wanted a Purple Heart then why the five draft deferment?

He probably thinks he earned one for avoiding STDs.

[catfish1957]

To a guy who used a chain of phony medical deferments to avoid military service.  For him to accept it on that basis is an affront to every brave military member who has received the PH.

Hope he got his money's worth on that deal. /s

Barack Obama agrees with all your criticism of Mr. Trump and he'd like to thank you all personally for your support. However, he's indisposed at the moment on the golf course.

I get so tired of the "if you don't worship trump you support Hilary and Obama" routine   Got anything else?

No, Barack Obummer has not called Duke Ala Orange a memeber of the Clinton Machine.

@aligncare

Yes, because God forbid anybody criticize "Mr. Trump", right?  Messiah and deliverer of humanity that he is..

[NavyCanDo]

Trump, Who Deferred Draft Five Times, Says He Always Wanted Purple Heart.

Nope, that's it.

IF trump had served..The only purple heart Trump would have received was after his troops fragged him

Even though it's expressly forbidden on this forum since it is a grotesque lie (NO one here supports either of these leftist monsters), the desperate aligncare continues to use the same rotten, indecent ad hominem....

....because it is literally the only thing he has.

It's desperation when the lies are more frequent than reality.  Trump supporters are becoming clones of their deceitful god.

Trump's public defenders are as ignorant as he is:

Trump spokesperson Katrina Pearson just said on CNN that Obama's changing of rules of engagement probably cost Capt. Khan his life. In 2004.

Khan died in 2004.
