Donald Trump hit back at the father of a fallen Muslim soldier Saturday who said Trump had “sacrificed nothing,” by saying that he made a lot of sacrifices by working “very, very hard,” according to ABC News.
In an interview with George Stephanopoulos, Trump pushed back at Khizr Khan by saying that he has sacrificed a lot by employing a lot of people and questioned whether Khan’s words during his Democratic Convention speech were his own.
“Who wrote that? Did Hillary’s script writers write it?” Trump said to ABC. “I think I’ve made a lot of sacrifices. I work very, very hard.”
“I’ve created thousands and thousands of jobs, tens of thousands of jobs, built great structures,” he added. “I’ve had tremendous success. I think I’ve done a lot.”
Trump brushed Khan off, saying that he looked “very emotional” during his remarks, and questioned why Khan’s wife, Ghazala Khan, did not speak, saying perhaps she wasn’t not allowed.
“If you look at his wife, she was standing there,” he told ABC. “She had nothing to say. She probably, maybe she wasn’t allowed to have anything to say. You tell me.”
Trump was doubling down on previous remarks that he made when The New York Times asked him what he thought about Khan’s speech and he said he wanted to hear what Ghazala Kahn had to say.
Watch the clip below via ABC News:
Sacrifice means giving something or someone up to a greater cause or purpose. This man has given NOTHING, NO ONE as Mr. Khan said. Hiring people is not sacrifice, you dumbass orange popsicle. Somebody get this man a dictionary or better yet, kick him in the fucking head. He is one callous prick!
Could you, Donald Trump, be any more despicable?
Mrs. Khan was too overcome with grief to speak and was trying very hard to maintain her composure. It was not necessary for her to speak… she was there to lend moral support to her husband. I read in another article that Mr. Khan did not even have written notes but just spoke from his heart. His words were eloquent and described his chosen homeland by pointing out what is good about America, even in his time of terrible grief from the loss of his brave and honorable son, Captain Khan.
A heart… something you would know nothing about. You truly are without a soul. I’m sure your name was “Lucifer” in a past life.
I went shopping! Oh the humanity…
“Who wrote that? Did Hillary’s script writers write it?” Trump said
to ABC. “I think I’ve made a lot of sacrifices. I work very, very hard.”
“I’ve created thousands and thousands of jobs, tens of thousands of
jobs, built great structures,” he added. "I’ve had tremendous success. I
think I’ve done a lot.”
…
Working hard and creating jobs isn’t nearly like losing a son, Donald. Say Donnie Trump Junior got run over by a tractor down in Philadelphia, Mississippi… at the Fair he just attended. Say he got run over and died. Does that compare in any way to your “working hard”?
Trump, my son and the Khan’s son would be nearly identical in age had their boy survived. Had you said what you did and my place was exchanged for the Khan’s I hesitate to say what I would do.
Trump, your sure showed how shallow and how lacking in empathy you are. Just another symptom of your NPD you refuse to treat.
Print version doesn’t do justice to the nadir-of-empathy that is Donald Trump.
Thinly veiled question-attacks: was she [Mrs. Khan] allowed to talk?; I wonder who wrote that speech for Mr. Khan?
