Well I recently listened to his entire interview...and she is right.

The media looks for “jab” words to frame their articles in order to manipulate the masses to what they desire they ‘think’....the people are NOT careful listeners and you have to be when Trump talks ‘Trump talk’ because he talks outloud while he’s thinking. Therefore it’s important to hear him out fully.

The media is accustomed to politicians ‘weighing every word’...Trump gives them a smorgasboard without any effort... they simply feed at his table.

McCain is reviled by so many that nobody is going to care about this next week.

Conclusion

Trump actually said the opposite of what the Post lead sentence and video caption claim. The Post might have been able to get away stating that Trump “implied” McCain was not a war hero because McCain was captured, but even that would have been a subjective interpretation since Trump had actually stated the opposite.


The Washington Post lied again. Shock face. People believe the narrative if they want to believe the narrative. Some Freepers will also post the narrative because they are true believers as bad as the left.

I knew the truth would come out, but I am very surprised at the lack of fact checking.

IT'S THE WASHINGTON POST! THE SAME SOB SCUMBAGS THAT SUED FREE REPUBLIC!

Watch Mr. Trump's appearance and decide for yourself!



MSM and most of his rivals are shamefully cherry-picking AGAIN.

Go to Donalds facebook page and look at the number of shares, likes and comments on his last two posts today. The media, GOP and candidates are pissing in the wind by attacking him. I love it!!!

Thank you for this post. I watched it and then watched the video in post #8. It does sound a lot worse in the sound bite that NBC uses. In yours you can hear Luntz keep repeating “he’s a war hero”, “he’s a war hero”. I wonder if there were any “war hero’s” in the 15000 people that McCain called “crazies” and if so will everybody demand McCain apologize.
