McQueeg graduated at the very bottom of his Naval Academy class. The only way he got there in the first place was because of his Admiral daddy. He crashed two planes before he even made it out of training. The only reason he didn’t get kicked out then was because of his Daddy. He was shot down by a SAM. Vietnam pilots routinely evaded SAM’s, but he wasn’t a good enough pilot to do it because he was only there because of his Daddy, not because of his qualifications.
Trump went bankrupt half a dozen times. He inherited a quarter of million rental units in New York City, and thinks he is a business genius.
I am not commenting on McCain’s qualification as war hero. I am commenting on Trump’s qualification to pass judgment on who is a war hero, or his seriousness as political leader. No serious leader would have made the kind of statement that Trump did. It shows how shallow, impulsive and unqualified he is for anything other than the role of superannuated megalomaniac freak show attraction.
