I met Dakota Meyer at work the day he recived his MOH.
I agree with you that ideally he should focus purely on Hillary and policy.
The problem was that interview with George S. who asked him, and the media kept raving about the speech. He should have kept it policy related and moved on. I typed up a sample statement on FR. Trump should have had something like that prepared. To be fair, he did put a statement out, but it was after the hoopla started.
So you met the guy that received a medal. Doesn’t mean he is right. Trump spoke out against a Clinton operative that attacked him- nothing more.
