Honestly, I'm not surprised by the story that Trump thinks this way. [View all]

He showed us years ago how he felt about McCain.
He showed us how he felt when he took the bone spur deferments.
His narcissism is bolstered by his philosophies of zero-sum economics and transactionalism.
I figured his narcissism made him freak out about body-image altering wounds.
His lack of respect for democracy is another clue.

I am surprised that he actually said the things he said out loud, even if he thought the people around him were loyal to him.
