is a giant asshat who cannot tolerate being called out. If, on Friday when Stephanopoulos first asked him about it, Trump had just said, "I appreciate the sacrifice the Khans and their son made for this country and respect their right to their opinion. I disagree." That would have been the end of it. Instead, he keeps tweeting about it and keeps claiming that HE is the injured party. And now he has surrogates out there trying to claim that the Khans and their son are terrorists. He is fucknuts crazy and a really shitty politician. There is no way this story should have dominated the news cycle for more than 24 hours.
