Trump’s slander of Captain Khan’s family is horrifying, even for Trump

1. It doesn't sound like anything out of the ordinary for Trump to me.

I expect the worst from him.

2. He also repeated his lie about the Vietnam Memorial...

One official of the Vietnam commission, who has attended all the meetings, maintains Trump has been to only two or three out of 20 meetings. This was confirmed by another member of the commission. The first time he attended a meeting was to launch the commission, one source says, and the second was when he arrived with a reporter who was profiling him.

To this charge, Trump responds: "That's interesting. I'll resign then. They're very small thinkers. They're stockbrokers that were in Vietnam and they don't have it."

He also said that he was never asked to be a working member of the commission, but simply to lend his name.

He showed up twice -- the two times reporters were there -- then claims he wasn't a working member, just there to "lend his name". Now he's claiming that -- an early version of his phone-in performances -- as a "sacrifice".

4. I'm doing the best I can. We didn't do such a good job with the "Swiftboaters", either.
