Blast From The Past: Forget Mark Kelly. Remember What Trump Said About John McCain?

I disagreed with almost all of John McCain's political policies. But he WAS a war hero. I greatly respect him, and every American should be proud to have had him on our 'team.' He had character and dignity.
Donald Trump is the exact opposite of McCain in every way. He's a petulant spoiled brat, who has never done a thing in his life for anybody but himself.

After he called John McCain a 'loser' for being captured, and spending the rest of the Vietnam War in the Hanoi Hilton, why would anybody be surprised when he referred to the fallen heroes in the Aisne-Marne American cemetery in France as 'suckers' and 'losers?' And yet, everybody feigned surprise when he did that. But, having done that, why would anybody be surprised that he'd call for Navy veteran Mark Kelly to be executed for the 'seditious crime' of reminding soldiers that it is their sworn duty to disobey illegal orders? Especially those which might constitute a war crime?

And yet, here we are again, feigning surprise that a malignant narcissist is acting like a malignant narcissist.

(On a side note, look at the decline since 2015! Compare this video clip to any of today's performances.)
