Bang on. You don't get lower than belittling a dead war heroes family.

-Fury as Trump mocks Muslim soldier's mother Ghazala Khan-

There was fury and he did mock her in that he wasn't seriously asking the question, he was trying to get back at and belittle the family as result of their impactful appearance at the dem convention.

About half an hour after he says "what does this button do?"

"Everything is air-droppable at least once."

"When the going gets tough, the tough call for close air support."

That is a ridiculous interpretation of the word 'mock'.

In a court of law your assertion would be thrown out. What did he actually say that constitutes the word 'mock'?

You are just another person who dislikes Trump so much that you will use extremes in describing events around him.

You have more in common with Trump than you realise.

Mock seems a bit generous, given he insinuated she didn't seem to care, or speak, then bringing a bit of anti-muslim propaganda with the 'not allowed to' and using his usual 'that's what some people have said'.

I quite agree, there is no need for hyperbole as far as Trump goes, its unnecessary to inflate just how much of a c**t he is.

I don't think its fair to compare him to Hitler, for example, because that insults the Nazi Party of the 30s.

You genuinely surprise me with this Jamie.

Emotional and unfair.

Trump is most definitely talking of Islamic culture when he refers to the lack of female voices and representation and he was most definitely within his rights to refer to that in relation to how this very 'politically staged' attack was enacted.

For you to say what Trump said was 'bit of anti-muslim propaganda'...and lets remember he has a right to defend himself against some quite silly and emotional attacks (hasn't read the constitution). For you to say that....it brings to mind the thought that whatever he would have said would have gained the 'anti-muslim' charge.

How much time have you put into learning about the cultures within Islamic countries Jamie? Perhaps your statement about propaganda in reference to Trumps words over women shows your lack of understanding of majority Islamic culture and its attitudes to females in comparison to western ideas and laws.....or perhaps you think that these different culture attitudes are fine and shouldn't be regarded negatively.

He didn't suggest she didn't care about her son...that's an unfortunate implication from you.

Trump may well be 'anti-Islamic' in terms of how he wants his society to be run....as is the constitution in terms of religion in general....frankly I would say most non-Islamic' people are, but this doesn't mean that anything he said was 'mocking'. This is plainly ridiculous.

As for the comparison with Hitler....Is this really you Jamie? Also, just because the National Socialists shared some positive society intents doesn't remove the stain of its many implemented horrors.....And I say implemented horrors Jamie. Horrors far far worst than any Trump has said to get nominated.

Of course but its worth noting that he's pandering to a stereotype that isn't applicable to all of Islam. pakistan had an elected female leader long before the US had even presented a female nominee.

Its just low grade ignorance. I expect more of political leaders than to take cheap shots at critics. If you can't handle being the target of flack, and taking it on the chin, you don't belong in politics.

Which is why a good leader rises above stunts, rather than blundering straight into an emotional p*ssing contest.

Its not a defence to denigrate individuals, and their loss. Did you see him trying to explain 'his sacrifices', pitiful.

I don't know about you, but he's going to potentially be the President of the US. A leader needs to be above taking everything personally and needing to respond to individual slights.

Not a huge amount. But clearly more than Donald Trump. I do however know some Muslims, and the difference between being a Muslim and Islamic countries. But then I'm also not wanting to lead a country, with geo-political ambitions that are dependent on the middle east. I do know the difference between Muslim, Muslim country and Islamic country - and that even in Islamic countries, such as Iran, there are a multitude of different cultural groups.

No, because she explained why she didn't speak, and the overwhelming emotional pain of seeing her dead sons image.

Its implied by his response and manner in which he responds, its dismissive - and based around deflecting the fact he could care less about a US veteran.

Anti-Muslim, not anti-Islamic. His policies aren't just about Islam and its adherents, its Muslims in general, irrespective of what they believe or have done.

He does quite a line on ISIS, without mentioning the fact that all the heavy lifting against them is being done by Muslims.

Its a joke, the Nazi party had policies and a number of very well thought out policies that functioned in the recovery of Germany from economic oblivion. Rather than some buzz words, shrugs and mugs to the crowd etc.

He's a 'Snake Oil Salesman', and I never thought I'd say this, 'someone who is an insult to politicians'.

Although I don't think he was actually mocking anyone. I think he was just being a c**t, because that's what he is, a pampered, spoiled, arrogant rich egocentric c**t.
