Trump the Temp

Share this story

‘I like people that weren’t captured.” That’s what Donald Trump had to say about John McCain in the course of telling Iowans that he didn’t consider the Arizona senator — and Platinum Club Card holder at the Hanoi Hilton — to be a war hero.

Klutzy McCain, puttering around the skies over Hanoi in his A-4 Skyhawk, managed to get his dumb ass shot down by a Soviet-made surface-to-air missile in October 1967. The bozo landed in a lake downtown, and would you believe he couldn’t even use his one non-broken limb to hop away from the NVA irregulars who dragged him out of the water, beat and bayoneted him, and sent him to die in a cage?
