Trump draws backlash for comments on slain soldier's father

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Donald Trump is facing backlash from both sides of the aisle for attacking Khazir Khan, the father of a U.S. soldier killed in Iraq that strongly rebuked Trump last week at the Democratic convention.

A spokeswoman for Speaker Paul Ryan Saturday responded to Trump's comments, reaffirming the Speaker's distaste for Trump's rhetoric about Muslims.

"The speaker has made clear many times that he rejects this idea, and himself has talked about how Muslim Americans have made the ultimate sacrifice for this country," AshLee Strong said in a statement to CBS News.

Trump lashed out at Khan over his moving speech last week at the Democratic National Convention, doubting whether he prepared his own remarks and firing off questions over his wife Ghazala's silence on stage.

1. This is going to hurt him...

especially with military families. Let's hope it sticks around for a while.

2. This guy is sick

THE MALIGNANT PERSONALITY: These people are mentally ill and extremely dangerous! The following precautions will help to protect you from the destructive acts of which they are capable. To recognize them, keep the following guidelines in mind:

(1) They are habitual liars. They seem incapable of either knowing or telling the truth about anything.

(2) They are egotistical to the point of narcissism. They really believe they are set apart from the rest of humanity by some special grace.

(3) They scapegoat; they are incapable of either having the insight or willingness to accept responsibility for anything they do. Whatever the problem, it is always someone else’s fault.

(4) They are remorselessly vindictive when thwarted or exposed.

(5) Genuine religious, moral, or other values play no part in their lives. They have no empathy for others and are capable of violence. Under older psychological terminology, they fall into the category of psychopath or sociopath, but unlike the typical psychopath, their behavior is masked by a superficial social facade.

8. Nothing hurts Trump. His rabid supporters eat up every word he says. eom

[calguy]

11. Yes, his rabid followers eat it up but......

There are only so many rabid fans to go around. Definitely not enough to win the election.
Trump's biggest blunder so far is he seems totally incapable of attracting new support from anywhere.
This is a good thing for our side.

[duncang]

4. But he will still endorse him.

That is sick.

6. Sickening

The comment about the wife he made is really sick. He just had to trash her.

If this were any other election, this would be the biggest issue of the campaign, but Trump says outrageous stuff over and over and it becomes normal.

I think Ryan will pull his endorsement soon.

[AgadorSparticus]

7. He doesn't have a clue. What. So. Ever.

What to say to something so vile?

[MSMITH33156]

9. Paul Ryan is a spineless POS

If he had any guts, he would disown Trump. Instead, he always says something like, "that was overtly racist" or "no presidential candidate should ever say that"..."but I'm still endorsing the guy."

[NurseJackie]

10. Was this bait? Did they know in advance what he'd do and say?

[TheCowsCameHome]

12. Fuck the spokesman

I want to hear it directly from they little weasel's own lips. And from that turtle-looking crony of his in the Senate, too.

Anyone can send a shill out io do the talking for them.
