Just so everyone knows I'm not in total disagreement with the man. 'A military veteran supporting Trump had gifted the Republican presidential nominee his Purple Heart, prompting Trump to say he "always wanted to get the Purple Heart" and this was "much easier" than serving in combat.'

 god you liberals can't take a joke. You people have nothing on Trump like the rest of us have on Hillary. You are trying to justify voting for her by nit picking everything Trump says and does. You know deep down you're supporting a criminal but you go ahead and do it anyway because you just can't stand a man with a big mouth that has made billions and created 30,000 jobs.

Trump's talk about the guys Purple Heart was a joke ? Didn't seem like a joke to me, he seemed pretty serious. And if it was, I would say a medal for someone's serious injury or death is not really something to joke about.

 ok lets say he was serious. Still not as bad as getting 4 people killed in Bengazi. Not as bad as deleting 30,000 e mails, not as bas as pretty much anything clinton has ever done. Clinton has made her millions off of us taxpayers, Trump has made his from forming his own companies and employing the very people that made Clinton rich.

I didn't equate it with anything Clinton did or didn't do. You did. He's a grown man that wants to be president . It might be time for him to be accountable for what he says.

I read what could be easily found and watched the video. I saw no disrespect.
I agree with CI-borg (I wonder what that means). What Mr. Trump said was exactly correct. I also noted he said it with respect and the comment about receiving it as a gift being easier was meant to express his appreciation for those who had been awarded the heart.
The truth is that at this time no matter what the man says someone and the mainstream media will jump on it and call it stupid. It was a special moment for Donald Trump as it would have been for me. I don't know exactly what any one of the critics would have said when Lt. Col. Dorfman gifted them with one of hos most treasured possessions.

I don't get the significance of gifting a purple heart to anyone much less a Presidential Candidate. Why would anyone want someone else's medal, its just a piece of metal at that point. I agree with Carl that the "this is much easier" comment was in respect to those that actually earned the medal.
One cannot complain that current politicians are too PC and maintain that political correctness has been a huge negative in our government and then complain that Trump is the opposite of political correctness. Ok, sure he may blab things that are not very helpful to his champagne, but at the end of the day they just show that he thinks the way many of us do and he is not afraid to say what he thinks

Deeds are much stronger than words. How 'bout YOU make Hillary accountable for what she has DONE? Do you realize how weak your statement is that you would rather elect someone who is openly corrupt, has blood on her hands, openly lies to Congress, subverts the Constitution and plans on shredding it if she gets elected, has/had a pay to play scheme going with the Clinton Foundation, etc. ? You would rather have a person like THIS leading the free world?

But that could change in the next 90 some days.

I don't believe the point here is Trump wanting a medal. He didn't. The point is the gentleman that gifted it did so as a token of friendship and support for Mr. Trump. Being a Purple Heart, it symbolizes the depth of that man's friendship and support. I don't see Mr. Trump's comments to be odd, but a light hearted friendly response of acceptance of the man's offer.

sorry, it's a carryover name from deaf community forums where the name is perfectly obvious. CI= Cochlear Implant. Borg = "The Borg" from Star Trek. Assimilated beings with implants. I meant no disrespect to Mr Trump, mearly pointing out I agree that being given a Purple Heart is a lot easier than getting it the traditional way. A LOT easier.

I think Willow was pondering what it meant that he agreed with you, not the meaning of your handle. (correct me if I'm wrong, Carl). But I'm glad you explained the meaning of your handle. I believe Rush Limbaugh also has a CI, I wonder if it may cause a shift toward his way of thinking.

And no, this commonality with Mr Limbaugh won't affect my thinking  although I admit I have not listened to him in many years.
