This unkind statement Trump made about the PH the Veteran gave him still resonates in my mind. The guy has no manners or concern for others feelings. What a disgusting thing to tell a soldier, who just gave him his earned PH, and look him in the face and say "I always wanted one of these, but not the hard way, the easy way." Thinking about him while writing this makes my blood boil. What a CHUMP!
For thousands of service members, we didn’t “get” the Purple Heart, we each traded something for it.
“Man,” Donald Trump said, as retired Lt. Col. Louis Dorfman handed him a Purple Heart medal on Aug. 2, 2016. “‘… that’s, like, that’s, like, big stuff.’ I always wanted to get the Purple Heart. This was much easier.”

I think you are overreacting to it. I think he was unsure what to say, wanted to say something to show the appreciation for the thought and it came out the way it did. No one can give anyone their purple heart except as a token of appreciation. I think he meant that he thought it was nice that someone wanted to give him the medal and it was meaningful that someone would want to give it to him but he did not want to get wounded to get one (no one wants to get wounded except John Kerry). The "this was much easier" comment could be interpreted as recognition that Lt Col Dorfman did a lot more to earn it than Trump did to have it given to him. Relax.

Cpl Jeff N., I watched it live and what Trump said about receiving the PH wasn't an accident. Why couldn't he have just thanked the vet, and give him a hug, and make big deal about it, instead of saying something, that sounded like a slap in the face and trying to be funny. I'm relaxed Jeff, just saying...

SGT (Join to see) You might be looking for a slap in the face where non was intended. He didn't thank him the way you wanted him to. I get it. Trump gains nothing by being given a purple heart medal. For him it is only a token of appreciation, he earned nothing.

Cpl Jeff N., I'm just POed about Trump getting a PH and not caring or not understanding what it takes to earn a PH. I think I've written enough about this Jeff. Thanks for you comments.

Sometimes there are no words to properly or adequately express yourself. I think he was trying to be witty, but that can produce an epic fail. He should have just just hugged him, thanked him for his service-but I bet Trump doesn't get a lot of honest thank you moments without ulterior motives.

MAJ Charles Blake, Great minds think alike. What you wrote is what I wrote about, what I think Trump could have done.

SGT (Join to see) - I heard a quote on the radio this am driving to work that reminded me of your post. Someone said that Trump needs to show some humility on a certain topic (pick one, right??) and Steven K Bannon asked if humility was really a character trait of DJT.
I think that everyone does have humility somewhere, deep down but some people have learned that humility opens yourself up for the potential to hurt their ego. It's rare if not impossible for a person of such a large ego to have genuine humility. I'd like to get feedback on that last statement please.

This thread and many like them are clear proof that people with a predisposition and propensity to be offended will always find something to be offended about

Sorry if I was offended by what Trump said. Now, and I'm offended by what you wrote.
