Is there anyone else that thinks he's a despicable POS.
To those who think Trump is just the "not politically correct" wild card needed to shake up the status quo, such behavior is justified.
To those who think Trump is a narcissistic troll, such behavior is merely the latest example of his bullying.
Take your pick.
Khaaaaaaaaaaaaan!
Very immature and an example of bullying.
A rational person would have ignored it or delegated the responsibility of rebuttal to one of his minions if need be.
A so-called "uniter" doesn't treat people like this. Terrible

I loved it. It is making more and more people see what a shit he really is. It just never stops.
Uh "he seems like a nice enough fellow" Didn't he say that one? His spin is the guy has been BRAINWASHED by Hillary. It never ends. It just NEVER ends.
Washington (CNN)Khizr Khan, the father of a Muslim US soldier slain in Iraq in 2004, said Sunday that Donald Trump has a "black soul," indicating he lacks empathy and compassion.
I have little sympathy for people who use their grief as a political weapon. Screw the democratic party for that disgraceful piece of emotional manipulation. The use of the Khan family was pure identity politics at its most pathetic.
The Khan family are to be pitied, but ignored. Their losses don't give them some special insight. They are too blinded by their grief and their own identity as Muslim to see the geopolitical situation clearly.
All leaders make decisions that cause individuals emotional pain. It's simply impossible to operate on the world stage without every decision you make upsetting some people. One of the reasons society has so many problems is that we now care more about people's feelings than we care about speaking the truth. Talking about reality is insensitive, but necessary.
Did Trump handle it as sensitively or skilfully as he could have done? No, but I'm past caring. If Trump were more skilled in the black art of smooth talking, perhaps he could have thought of a clever choice of words to avoid falling into the trap that was set for him.
When a politician is manoeuvred into a choice between truth and kindness, I want them to have the guts to speak the truth. The Khans are wrong. Their suffering doesn't change the fact that they're wrong.
He didn't put them through a 'treatment' He merely responded in his usual reliably honest way and I wasn't surprised what He said. He said 1) No I would NOT have banned them from the country in the first place- it's hypothetical, get over it.
I thought the Khan family were scathing of HIM...mocking HIM, when He has done NOTHING to them except notice the bloodbath coming from members of THEIR belief system and calling a halt to it...duh?
Trump just "revealed" what we already knew: he has no class.
Hello OS:

Why should they not be angry with Hillary? She was one of the Senators that voted in favor of the military action that claimed their son's life.
I imagine you feel the same about Gold Star mother, Pat Smith who spoke at the RNC?
I have a thing about capital letters and got a bit carried away, Poor Donald...it ain't fair!
it's a distraction put out there to bait Trump and take the heat off Hilly billy
Hello PC:
What I LIKE about it, is that there's only about 100 days left to campaign. Trump is using his to DEFEND himself from a self inflicted wound, instead of attacking Clinton.. That's NOT a way to win..

I just watched it and found it difficult to take. I find such appeals to emotion absolutely sick. Maybe I'm just being British, but I just find the way America does politics so emotional.
This is not the way politics should be done. It's a blatant attempt to make an opponent look callus and unsympathetic when they deny fault. It's a bitch move. People always have the right to deny fault.
At least Pat Smith makes a specific accusation against Hillary. She holds Hilary responsible for her son's death. (In my opinion Hillary was a criminally negligent, incompetent, liar at best and running a black op at worst.)
The Khans message was simply a personal attack. Trump played no role directly or indirectly in their son's death. They simply tried to shame him for his desire to prevent Muslim immigration (a position he has a perfect right to hold) just because some Muslims, like their son, have fought and died for the U.S. with honour.
