28. Trump made two mistakes that McCarthy made:

1) He went after the military (Trump went after a dead soldier and McCarthy, the institution),

and

2) He went after an innocent young man, almost for sport.

His other father, Roy Cohn, wasn't here to warn him.

Hope Trump is condemned and then forgotten like McCarthy.
