TRUMP: "John McCain, for some reason, couldn't get his arm up..."

I believe this was just last Saturday when Trump was talking about Republicans voting to dismantle the ACA--Obamacare.

TRUMP: “John McCain, for some reason, couldn’t get his arm up…”

John couldn’t get his fucking arm up because he was tortured as a POW while serving in Vietnam.

Trump dodged the draft crying bone spurs. What a POS to still be besmirching a war hero.

And that is more important than her father to her.

Her Brother, on the other hand, still honors their father.

Immediately thereafter, Meghan McCain sharply criticized Trump for his actions.

And sometimes it hurts pretty bad. I'm no Doctor but I just can't imagine if you had bone spurs when you were young, that they wouldn't be much worse when your around 80 years old.
