That is a fair complaint of Trump. Quite valid.

I normally don’t like hearing war heroes ridiculed.

But a side of me is really glad he said that.

Why?

McStain might be a war hero, but he’s an open-borders creep, he turned campaign finance into a legal minefield for well-intended first-time candidates, he’s a phony who pretends to be for ‘safe borders’ every time there’s a primary challenge.

McStain deserves contempt and ridicule.

The problem is that Trump didn't choose to point out McCain's record as a politician, which regardless of his military service and having been a POW, is absolutely fair game. Instead Trump did what Trump does and went for the cheap shot, implying that because McCain was a POW, he's somehow a failed individual, a "Loser" as in Trump's own words and as he is prone to call any and all people he disagrees with.

"McStain deserves contempt and ridicule." Yes - absolutely on his political record but not on having been a POW.

Trump's statement "I like people who weren't captured," points to someone with a narcissistic personality who has no idea what it is like to serve in a combat zone and being a POW especially since Trump avoided military service during Vietnam.

Questions linger about Trump's draft deferments during Vietnam War
