What's Trump Done Now?

His disdain for McCain's war record is political.
Admiral bone spurs with his three deferments says McCain is a failure because he was captured and little pgs's *TSS kicks in.
*Trump Stockholm Syndrome
WHAT HAS TRUMP DONE NOW?
He has distracted Avro from his PORN CHANNEL OBSESSION!
Yes - Avro has been "deflected"!
You're starting to sound like your hero who will probably be the first president not to be reelected on the year of a national emergency!
Wow, you sure minimize his time as a POW in Vietnam while "Orange Man Bad" or as I like to call him Draft-Dodger Donny, was back home soaking his bone spurs. Here, I'll paint you the bigger picture:
He was shot down over North Vietnam in October of '67 where he suffered two broken legs, a broken arm, and nearly drowned after ejecting from his aircraft. He was pulled from the water by some North Vietnamese where he was beaten, having his shoulder crushed from the blow of a gun butt and was also bayoneted.
He was initially not given treatment and was interrogated and beaten. After it was discovered that his father was an Admiral (who was named commander of all US forces in Vietnam in March '68 ) the North Vietnamese offered McCain release, doing so for propaganda purposes and as a way to demoralize other American POW's. But McCain would have none of it, sticking to the POW code of conduct that states troops accept release only the order in which they are captured. When he refused the offer, his situation worsened. He was placed in solitary confinement for 2 years and was beaten and tortured regularly. Some of that torture included being hung to the point of his arms being pulled from their sockets. He endured this type of treatment for years. I wonder what "Orange Man Bad" was doing during this time. Hope those bone spurs weren't giving him too much grief.
Eventually McCain made an anti-US propaganda "confession" admitting that he did so because he had reached his breaking point after enduring constant beatings. He felt doing so was dishonorable and it tore him up, to the point of refusing to sign additional statements. As a result, he endured continued beatings.
He was released in '73, after spending 5 1/2 years in captivity, being brutalized. That's who John McCain was and Trump could never come even remotely close to being referred to as a man in comparison.
A worthwhile addition suggested by Tecumsehsbones is the fact that POWs have universal praise for McCain's leadership during his captivity. Thank you TB.

I haven't had a chance to yet but am planning on doing so tonight when the house is a little quieter. It looks like a long but "worth it" read.
Good summary, but I'd add that the POWs have universal praise for his leadership during his captivity.
