Trump has also, in recent months, praised a dictator, distributed the star of David in what was widely perceived as an anti-Semitic tweet, disparaged the Mexican heritage of a federal judge and seemingly called on Russian Federation to launch a cyber-attack on his political opponent.

Trump has yet to backtrack on his comments. He went on: “While our Party has bestowed upon him the nomination, it is not accompanied by unfettered licence to defame those who are the best among us”, he said.
Obama, addressing the Disabled American Veterans in Atlanta Monday, spoke of the families who have lost family members in the military service. “Our Gold Star families have made a sacrifice that most of us can not even begin to imagine”.
In another tweet, he said that “with all of the Obama tough talk on Russian Federation and the Ukraine, they have already taken Crimea and continue to push”.
“There is no room in American politics to insult our Gold Star families”, Gardner said in a statement.
“Having served in Iraq, I’m deeply offended when Donald Trump fails to honor the sacrifices of all of our fearless soldiers who were lost in that war”, said Coffman, a Marine Corps veteran. “Mr. Trump can’t”, the senator said.
McMaster, Trump’s most high-profile S.C. supporter, did not immediately respond Monday to a request for comment.
“However, the Khan’s anger should be directed against those who sent their son into an unnecessary war, like Hillary Clinton and John McCain whose reckless policies and fuzzy Utopian ideals have destabilized the Middle East and triggered a massive refugee crisis, which they want to import into the U.S.to fatten up the welfare rolls”.
A day earlier, Sally Bradshaw, an architect of the Republican National Committee’s 2013 “Growth and Opportunity” report, said she’s leaving the GOP.
In the interview, she insisted that the Federal Bureau of Investigation director has vouched she’s provided “truthful” answers and that e-mails on her controversial private server were only classified retroactively.
But few paid any attention as the focus was on Trump and the politicians around the country who were disavowing him. “When a suicide bomber accelerated his vehicle toward a facility with hundreds of American soldiers, Captain Khan ordered his subordinates away from the danger”.
Trump tweeted Monday that Putin is not going into Ukraine “if I am president”. “For me, if our party has a future, we have to change that trajectory and lead by example”. The talking points also noted that Trump “wants to end radical Islamic terror, so that our soldiers like Mr. Khan’s son will be safe”. “Let me ask you: have you even read the United States Constitution?” “In terms of the one question – whether you’ve made a sacrifice – I think my father has”.
Khan pulled waved a pocket-sized copy of the document in the air.
And Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida called Trump’s comments “unfortunate” and praised Khan as a hero. She later said that she was overcome by grief and chose not to say anything for fear of losing her composure before a live audience of millions.
While McCain avoided the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, several speakers at the DNC defended him from Trump’s attacks.
Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa said Trump’s comments “are not in line with my own beliefs about how the members of the military and their families should be treated”.
Keavin Duffy, whose brother died in 2008 in Iraq, signed the letter and said in an interview that Trump’s behavior is “un-American”. “That’s what I said!”
