"I don't need to be lectured." Trump Responds
The Right Scoop ^ | July 19, 2015

Posted on 07/19/2015 7:51:16 PM PDT by Din Maker

El Trumpo called into two different Sunday news shows to defend his comments, and go on the offense against John McCain’s record on veterans’ issues. Then tonight, he tweeted out a link to this op-ed at USA Today to further explain himself.

"John McCain has called his own constituents who want a secure border “crazies.” No one in the news media or the establishment, including the Republican National Committee, criticized the senator for those comments.

Now, as respected reporter Sharyl Attkisson has proved point by point, the news media are also distorting my words. But that is not my point. McCain the politician has failed the state of Arizona and the country.

During my entire business career, I have always made supporting veterans a top priority because our heroes deserve the very best for defending our freedom. Our Department of Veterans Affairs hospitals are outdated dumps. I will build the finest and most modern veterans hospitals in the world. The current medical assistance to our veterans is a disaster. A Trump administration will provide the finest universal access health care for our veterans. They will be able to get the best care anytime and anywhere.

Thanks to McCain and his Senate colleague Bernie Sanders, their legislation to cover up the VA scandal, in which 1,000+ veterans died waiting for medical care, made sure no one has been punished, charged, jailed, fined or held responsible. McCain has abandoned our veterans. I will fight for them.

The reality is that John McCain the politician has made America less safe, sent our brave soldiers into wrong-headed foreign adventures, covered up for President Obama with the VA scandal and has spent most of his time in the Senate pushing amnesty. He would rather protect the Iraqi border than Arizona’s. He even voted for the Iran Nuclear Review Act of 2015, which allows Obama, who McCain lost to in a record defeat, to push his dangerous Iran nuclear agreement through the Senate without a supermajority of votes.

A number of my competitors for the Republican nomination have no business running for president. I do not need to be lectured by any of them. Many are failed politicians or people who would be unable to succeed in the private sector. Some, however, I have great respect for."

Well damn. Doesn’t sound like he’s gonna apologize.

When is the media going to realize that this is not a man they are going to force to "wimp-out" like all the politicians do? Trump will prolly not be the GOP Nominee in 2016, but he sure as hell is stirring the pot. YA GOTTA LOVE IT!

Wow!

Donald just keeps giving back more than he takes.

This is so ungentlemanly of him.

Yes, yes he has. More idiocy from McCain. He can’t figure out why he didn’t win, too.

I just noticed in that pic that it looks like without his comb over, he would look like Ron Howard.

He's not my pick but I hope he doesn't back down and play the media gotcha game.

Trump is whistling down an outhouse hole..
very entertaining.. I like it...

Trump is way way way too late to start doing this...
10 years ago maybe.. NOW he's doing Beavis and Trumphead(with comb over)..

entertaining yes.. but just Kabuki Theater..
All weird sounds, makeup, costumes, masks, outrageous clothing and pregnant pauses.. Pity too.. I wish it would work... it won't.. too late..

The media is trying once again, to enforce their “one false comment, and you are finished if we don’t like you” authority.

Look at the treatment of Dan Quale and the spelling of potato, vs. Obama and the 57 states. I am no great fan of Quale, but he was hammered endlessly for weeks, where Obama was given a pass for the 57 states comment.

Of course. Lecturing is what Trump does to everyone else.

As I’ve said on other threads, if 75% of the Republican base and Independents wanted Trump to be the nominee, the GOPe will still nominate Jeb to be the nominee.

You are exactly right. Most of the population still gets its news from the mainstream press. They stop reporting on Trump no matter what he says or does. The GOPe candidates will likewise ignore Trump. The networks will decline to accept advertising from him. Trump will be silenced by being ignored. If you can’t get your message out, you have no message.

He knows he wasn’t supposed to win.
That’s why he threw the election.
He was the Designated Loser.
Romney was a Designated Loser.
¡Yeb! was supposed to be the Designated Loser this time, but Trump is upsetting that apple cart.
