Of course it was idiotic. Why do you think he immediately back tracked upon being called on it?
He did not backtrack upon being called on it. He immediately realized himself that he had mispoke.
He immediately realized it and corrected himself 4 times.
You libs have been lying about that by ignoring his immediate 4 corrections so that you can dishonestly slam him.
YOu have compounded this dishonesty by pretending to be so idiotic that you could not understand my above question and thus used your supposed stupidity to answer a question I did not ask.
You are doing nothing but the most base type of propaganda, where you ignore all responses and just keep making slanderous insinuations and vile out right lies.
Your behavior in doing this is far worse than Trump's, who slipped up while responding to questions about a grumpy old man insulting him.
Pretending that this little verbal faux pas means that Trump "loathes troops who get captured" is the act of someone who is afraid to discuss Trump or the issues honestly.
Why are you afraid to discuss Trump honestly? Is he that scary to you? Is he that impressive to you?
