During an interview with CNN host Don Lemon, Trump said he told Palin she should talk about her 26-year-old son, who was arrested Monday night in Alaska after his girlfriend said he punched her in the head.

Trump said he thought it would be appropriate for Palin to address the incident.

“There was tremendous press and I think it’s something that’s very important to discuss not even for her son, but for so many other sons and daughters that are coming back from the Middle East where they have, you know, traumatic problems, they have tremendous problems and I told her,” he explained. “I actually suggested. I think I said I think it would be a great forum. And I know, she started the dialogue.

“I think it’s a very important dialogue. Because she told me that they’re coming back, so many are coming back and they are, you know, they’re under tremendous pressure and tremendous strain. There’s no question about it.”

they've been dealing with his "PTSD" for a while. If so, I don't think he should have been left with access to firearms, and presumably a little of her millions will have been going toward therapy.

Or maybe she just carried out the quickest psychiatric diagnosis ever. My money's on her being full of shit.

Remind me which party's consistently voted against funding veteran healthcare again.

Most Americans are ignorant to the point that Sarah Palin can claim that her son has PTSD and her blaming Obama is met with cheers.

There are other instances where Rand and Ron Paul have added to the confusion to the point that only Bernie Sanders has been consistent on our side, and he isn't given time on media as much as those who are stealing our thunder.

I hear Trump doing it again and again, but these dolts who never paid attention think he has these original thoughts, and that he, because he is rich, has a voice that matters over others.

I always thought that Democrats should have been talking like Bernie and FDR, so that there would not be any confusion.

Blaming Obama for a George Bush war would not bring cheers.

Either that, or he was a driver. Tried Googling, but nothing definitive there. So probably not a combat vet.

Was not a comedy. It was a documentary cleverly disguised as a comedy.

Given the state of our political environment and the views espoused that are given legitimacy by being broadcast over the air or by cable or in print that movie is almost too painful to watch these days.
