Republican presidential contenders Florida Senator Marco Rubio and former Texas Governor Rick Perry said Trump, with his latest bombast, had demonstrated he was not fit to be president.
At an Iowa candidate forum on Saturday, Trump dismissed Republican Senator John McCain’s reputation as a war hero, saying the navy pilot was merely taken captive after being shot down in Vietnam and “I like people who weren’t captured.”
“I will say what I want to say,” Trump said on Sunday, claiming a strong record of supporting veterans and accusing McCain of failing them in Washington.
“I will do far more for veterans than John McCain has done for many, many years, with all talk no action,” Trump said on ABC’s This Week. “He’s on television all the time, talking, talking. Nothing gets done.”

So Crooked Mcshame can smear Trump and
his supporters as CRAZIES but Trump cant rebute the trash talk!!
What a fraud and hypocrite you are!
Giglio John needs to be retire!
Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican....... R RHolier than thou hypocrisy.
Maybe you need to take off your anti-Trump blinders to see where and when it all began...BY Republicans. You can start minutes after Trump mentioned the word "Mexican"
thas racisss!!
I’m not a Republican.
Yes, I later noticed that someone had posted the Guardian version here.
What about speaking ill about republican voters? Is that allowed? Would calling them “crazies” count?
Would calling fellow republicans “wacko birds” be considering speaking ill?
What about other candidates speaking ill of Trump? Is that allowed?
Well said. I think Trump’s greatest appeal is that really he (and Ted Cruz, but at a different level) is absolutely unwilling to back down. Reagan only apologized once, during Iran-Contra.
From Twitter:
Due 2success of @realDonaldTrump’s show, both @piersmorgan & Mr. Trump donated $250K to Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund.
$500K from Trump and Piers Morgan (of all people)
BECAUSE why?
Because TRUMP spoke UP!
How much has McCain raised for veterans?
LOL....chumps -> whacko birds -> crazies.
You don’t even follow your own RR advice. Too funny.
...“Huma represents what is best about America: the daughter of immigrants, who has risen to the highest levels of our government on the basis of her substantial personal merit and her abiding commitment to the American ideals that she embodies so fully.” McCain said. “I am proud to know Huma and to call her my friend.”
McCain has taken away from veterans. He was a traitor to his fellow POWs while in captivity and he has been a traitor to veterans ever since he got elected.
I get sick to my stomach every time I think that I actually voted for the son of a bitch. Whoever came up with nominating Palin was the genius. Otherwise McCain wouldn’t have gotten 30% of the vote.
I appreciate McCain’s service as I would any individual who served. However he is not a war hero.
ALL democrats are traitor’s even if they served in the armed services.. (or are serving)..
Just being a democrat is TREASON....... because the party is treasonous..
They do treasonous things.. always have always will..
ALL democrat Presidents were traitors.. well documented..
AND a few republicans ones as well..
Pity the teachers Unions STOPPED teaching American History long ago..
SO the american people (generally) would be IGNORANT..
Senator Joe McCarthy was a great man... as was Barry Gold water..
The brain wash is great...
I am surprised that most of my extended family love Trump. Most of them are not political philosophers, they don’t believe the “alphabet” networks but thats where they get their news... and they love Trump.
They hate mealy-mouthed politicians. Good guys like Cruz can’t get through the main-stream-media filters, but Trump blasts right through. I think you’ll find that Trump resonates with people from bottom to top and its precisely because he doesn’t care how he looks to the media or the eggheads. He says what he has to say, and people love it. And the more the he is attacked by media and mainstream politicians, the more people like him.
The hysterical attacks on him work in his favor, by getting his words past the news embargo that kills so many candidates.
Right, we don’t disagree here. I despise McCain and I am not saying Trump was wrong.
All I am saying is that he could have gone after him without giving the media a talking point.
I understand
I talked to some fellow POWs who were with him several years before he ran for POTUS had ZERO good to say about him.
But the media is so happy they can use this to try to make Trump back.
I don’t remember the media going after al Frankel when he said the same thing
All I am saying is that he could have gone after him without giving the media a talking point.
Nature of the beast. Unfortunately, NO candidate is perfect.
I know, and I agree.
But we are dealing with Marxists who are hell bent on destroying our people. Trump is standing firm now, but he NEVER should have ended up saying 4 times that Mac wasa war hero...
It made him look bad.
But he likes talking points because he is kept in the presd and the press are bad in many cases and he goes after them anyway.
