Trump's comments about Ghazala and Khizr Khan are more about his supporters than Trump himself.

This is more about Trump's supporters than it is about Trump himself. We all know Trump is a lowlife, he has a 50 year extremely well documented history to prove it, but what is your excuse for supporting him?

Trump supporters are straight up lowlifes just like he is, you can't support a vile piece of garbage like Trump and pretend you have morals or standards.

When Trump walks on stage, he starts to immediately assess what kind of audience he has and starts to give them what they want to hear.

So it's not just Trump who is vile and self-centered, it's also a reflection of his audience of the moment.

In fact, they argue that Muslims are incapable of being loyal to the United States - that it is against their religion.

If they did they'd find the same types of passages that they are terrified of in the Koran

Just not the Muslim version.

They don't even really see the hypocrisy of it all.
