Trump 'Sacrifices' by Being a Capitalist

Good Sunday morning, Friends,

As was expected, Donald Trump just couldn't let any criticism slide by.

When Khizr Khan, Gold Star father of deceased American Army hero Captain Humayum Khan, called out Trump on his proposed 'Muslim ban', it was predictable that Trump couldn't just quietly let it go.

And it was sooo hard being rich my whole life. You would not
believe how big a sacrifice it is to be me!

He revealed his racism yet again with his ignorant quip about Mrs. Khan, who stood silently by her husband on the podium of the Democratic convention while he eviscerated Trump with his eloquent and unscripted lambasting.

Trump suggested that Mrs.Khan wasn't "allowed" by her husband to speak.

This bit of nonsense could not have been much further from the truth.

She later spoke to CBS News on camera. The truth surrounding her silence was that she is simply still too emotional to talk about her son's death. She was afraid she would not be able to make it through any speech without breaking down.

Mrs. Khan talked to CBS about having told her son to not be a hero in Iraq. "Just come home to me as my son."

"Instead," she said holding back tears, "he came home to me as a hero."

Perhaps the high point of  Khizr Khan's shredding of The Donald was when he scolded, "You have sacrificed nothing--and no one."

When asked by ABC's George Stephanopoulus what sacrifices he's ever made, Trump lamely replied. "I've sacrificed a lot. I've worked really hard, and I've employed tens of thousands of people."

Poor, poor billionaire.

Except in Bizarro World, Trump's life has been the polar opposite of sacrifice. It's the life that just about every capitalist in this country dreams about.

It is positively disgraceful to denigrate the sacrifice the Khans' made for our country in this way.

If Trump's followers can't understand what they're backing by now, they are this country's most serious problem--nothing else.

Trump was just given a little more rope, and he predictably put another knot in his own noose.

Friends, there is no other Donald Trump. What you see is what you get. He can't keep that addled brain driving his big mouth in check.

President of the United States of America?

Trump could ironically be stopped from getting there by his unfiltered reaction to his own worst fear...an angry Muslim.
