This is a perfect example of how the news media takes a sound bite of an innocent off-the-cuff remark and twists it to denigrate Trump. Looking at the entire context, Trump in no way was marginalizing the value of a purple heart as he was totally honored by the gift and was respectful as well as genuinely thankful to the veteran who chose to give it to him.

umm, for the past year he was attack the republicans, the lmsm was cool with it. now he is attacking hiliary, the lmsm is not cool with it.

No, he's pretty much attacked anyone who's name doesn't end with TRUMP. Right, left, fire marshalls, babies, parents of dead soldiers, billionaires. You name it.

BS-Trump frequently joined in the GOP echo chamber claiming Clinton was evil personified all along. He was smart enough to know that alone wouldn't distinguish him from the average GOP flack.

Your theory presumes that Trump supporters are the only ones intelligent enough to avoid the influence of "lmsm"-which is laughable. I heard literally hundreds of commentaries over the last year whose theme was "has Trump gone too far this time?" Remember too that Faux News spent many months vigorously pushing the anybody but Trump camp until his nomination was inevitable, then they tried to polish him.

It's pretty amazing to me after a year plus of saying outrageous things and having absolutely no adverse effect on him, all of sudden EVERY semi-stupid thing Trump says comes back to backfire on him big time.

I'm sure many will cite some sort of jump the shark theory coupled with his repeated attacks on the gold star parents, but I'm not convinced. After all this is the same guy that had no adverse effect from attacking a very popular Pope.

Only the crazies were paying attention to him in the primaries.

Now everyone is paying attention to him. This was inevitable.

If Trump had half a clue for being respectful of the military, its traditions, and the sacrifices necessary to be awarded a Purple Heart, he'd not "accept" it....."I always wanted one. Gee, thanks!"...but would have, instead, pinned on the chest of the vet offering it, thanked said vet for his service and sacrifice, and had most everyone cheering, both in the audience and those watching later.

Instead, he took it and dishonored/discredited the meaning behind the medal. The vet was wrong in my opinion even offering it to Trump.

No, he was marginalizing it quite a bit when he claimed he's sacrificed just as much by making money for himself.

Not to mention claiming he always wanted one, but dodging the draft when his opportunity came. The irony was pretty palpable on that stage.

It seemed like the crowd there didn't like the comment. Listen to the comments and how quiet the crowd got after.

The media always runs with the 'horse race' in Presidential elections. No matter how crazy the Republicans get, no matter how bad they might lose the contest, the press loves to portray it as neck-and-neck. The problem with Hair Furor is that the press can't make what he says into something that can be used to create their usual horse race scenario. They've tried, over and over again, and have failed to make him look like a serious candidate.

I think once he shit all over the Khan family the press decided that if they can't make him into a viable-looking candidate then they might as well go the other direction and make bank on showing how nuts he is.

umm, for the past year he was attack the republicans, the lmsm was cool with it. now he is attacking hiliary, the lmsm is not cool with it.

I've come to the conclusion that you have so few working brain cells left that your mind operates like a barely functioning pinball machine.
