Trump attacks Malala for not deserving NPP because she "got shot in the head" [View all]

Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump lashed out at Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai, responding to criticism from the 18-year-old Pakistani by claiming that “a real hero would have never gotten shot in the first place.”

“I mean, everyone goes on about how, ‘Oh, she’s soooo brave, and so courageous,’ just because she got shot in the face. I mean, how brave do you need to be to get shot in the face? It’s not like she caught the bullet in her teeth – which, by the way, is what I would have done,” Trump, who has levied similar criticism at former prisoner of war Senator John McCain, told The Mideast Beast. “Personally, I prefer teenage education activists who didn’t get shot in the head.”



I know it's satire, but can't you see this asshole saying this.
