Omfg. I can't believe this and wouldn't be surprised he'll soon say he somehow earned it. Just when you thought Donald Trump couldn't shoot himself in the ...

After further research, it turns out it was a copy of the vet's medal but it's the thought that counts. No one should want a Purple Heart.

I wondered..I heard a bit of a newscast and all I heard was him saying "I wanted a Purple Heart" but of course I knew it was going to be him verbally vomiting again. That man who gave him that....sad.

Yes, well I wouldn't be surprised if he somehow feels he does deserve some kind of recognition for not catching an STD in his youth - you know, what he described as his "personal Viet Nam."

Kurt : That we know of. Antibiotics are wonderful things and sure they handled many forms of STDs in those days though he was likely more concerned with HIV.

Whether he knew it was a copy or not, he announced to the crowd it was the real thing. The vet later told a reporter it was a copy. His acceptance of it and remarks were despicable. Just like his "sacrifices".

Well the tone to adopt if a war veteran gives you something like that is one of humility: acknowledge the gesture while emphasizing that it was the vet made the real sacrifice. But the Donald ain't got that.

He's already proven he's almost incapable of empathy, appreciation, or apology. Not that long ago, just one of his gaffes would end a candidate but he manages to do them on a daily basis. Some days more than 1.

bobolicious Nice one!

If he's killed off the GOP, he may have done us a favor.
