Any background on TruNews?
Curious as to whether Trump gets blamed for this.
Yes Trump will be blamed, because Trump said he “liked people that didn’t get captured”. They will probably say that “Trump supporters” will stop at nothing. This does not help anyone and whoever did it is certainly not advancing Trump’s cause.
A sad memory in US history and whatever you think of McCain his service to the country was real and if he broke down under torture - it’s completely understandable, I am sure many of us would; he was supposedly brave in other respects. If anyone would consider this broadcast some huge factor to decide their vote they are crazy.
Drumming up McCain’s one redeeming quality instead of his record was a huge mistake, the public *was* forgetting all about his POW status, until Trump blurted out the reminder.
Imagine how far ahead Trump would be if he had a filter that held him back from going off at random. Or would he? Maybe it’s the raw dirty obvious complete “real opinions” (even very poor-chosen words like those he had for McCain) that give him the outsider appeal.
