Donald Trump: Slamming McCain helps veterans like I exposed Mexican rapists, ‘which is great’

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Sunday predicted that his insult of Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) war record would help the “plight of the veterans” in the same way that he brought attention to the immigration issue by accusing Mexicans of being rapists.

During an interview on Fox & Friends, Trump argued that fellow GOP candidates were criticizing him for questioning McCain’s war hero status because he was currently the top choice among Republican voters.

“I’m leading in all the polls so we’ll see what happens,” Trump promised. “And look, I brought illegal immigration to the forefront. I believe now I’m bringing the veterans — the plight of the veterans — to the forefront, which is great.”

“If that comes out of that, just like what happens two weeks ago [with the rape remarks], if that happens, I’ll be very proud,” he billionaire continued. “Because the veterans are treated very, very badly. And John McCain — like all politicians — he’s all talk and he’s no action.”

What has he done to help veterans in the past? Has he donated to any veteran groups or anything like that? I certainly have never heard him open his fat mouth once about the troops until now.

This is exactly the type of twisted gobbledygook that the loony GOP base thrives on. All they need is one gibberish of an 'explanation' and they're good. Watch him go up in the polls.

including one time with his pants off. That's about as supporting the troops as any of the other GOP candidates get. In a real media, the press might talk about how the GOP never seems funding for medical care and benefits for veterans but they always find another war for troops to fight.
