The Purple Heart is a military award given to someone who is wounded or killed while serving.

“I just thought it was amazing” Trump said.
“I always wanted to get the Purple Heart”.
Trump’s gesture – holding up a Purple Heart, and congratulating himself on “getting one” – likens the military decoration to an honorary degree, and strips it of its actual meaning..
“Across this country are wounded that earned their Purple Hearts in a way that Donald Trump only superficially referenced and will never know nor truly comprehend”. However, the man reportedly told ABC News’ Tom Llamas that it was the real deal, and he gave it to Trump “in part because of the attacks Trump has received in the wake of the Khan speech”.
Trump’s critics have accused him of cheapening the medal’s value by accepting it and saying “I always wanted to get the Purple Heart, this was much easier”. “This was much easier”.
Trump, in an interview Tuesday, declined to endorse House Speaker Paul Ryan, the Republicans’ top-ranked official, and Sen.
Trump made the remark about the prestigious military honor before a rally in Ashburn, Va., yesterday. He declines to mention that he started out his career with at least several tens of millions, likely of his father’s money, and nearly certainly inherited tens or maybe hundreds of millions more.
The Purple Heart is awarded to US military members who sustain wounds in service, such as Louis Edward Dorfman III, a veteran who received the medal after he was wounded in November 2007 while serving in Iraq. “I think I’m into this for over over $60 million now”. Khizr and Ghazala Khan, parents of Army Capt. Humayun Khan, who was killed in action in Iraq, appeared at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia on July 28. Most people believe Trump should give it back to the veteran. A growing number of GOP lawmakers have disavowed Trump’s comments, but most of those who have endorsed him are sticking by that stance. A front-page New York Times investigation earlier in the day Tuesday looked into the “murky” details of how Trump, a former student athlete, was exempted from military service at the time.

Your fake worthiness is rewarded, Donald Trump, by something as phony as you. “She’s the devil”, he said.
