If Audie Murphy were running against Trump last year Trump would have said "he only captured one German company of soldiers by himself, he's not a hero. I like people that captured two companies."
It is the mindset of the lowest of lowlifes to disparage anything John McCain did in the war. And he gets this shit from his own party?
A). You haven't a clue what Trump would say and don't pretend you are a mind reader. There are a hundred instances in the past 6 months where Trump has lavished praise on various military totally in contrast to what you claim, so your statement is just more anti-Trump bullshit.
B). As said earlier, Trump wasn't disparaging McCain, merely trying to make an analogy to his business mindset that he likes to win, he is driven by success, both in himself and others, but the statement was taken literally by the media wishing to beat Trump over the head by it. In a subsequent interview in the days following, he was asked about his comments whether they were meant as an attack against McCain personally, his service, and Trump was very clear that it wasn't intended that way.
What Trump said is reprehensible and no amount of spin can make it acceptable
No question that Trump tried to cover his ass after the uproar. But there is no doubt, at the time, that Trump was trying to denigrate McCain's status as a hero
