Late Thursday Trump told a crowd at his Bedminster Golf Resort that the Presidential Medal of Freedom is more worthy of admiration than the Congressional Medal of Honor traditionally given to war heroes.

He then set off a wave of outrage by saying of the Medal of Honor recipients, “They’re either in very bad shape because they’ve been hit so many times by bullets or they’re dead.”

“And it is just appalling that he would speak of America’s heroes that way,” he continued. “I mean, the heroes, many who made the ultimate sacrifice for the country, and he simply does not get it. He doesn’t understand. There’s a connection there that’s not being made, and, you know, you saw it where for years he was president and, boy, if he ever became president again, I would really worry about this country because of that emptiness, that lack inside of him, that lack of empathy, that lack of patriotism. It’s just not there. It’s not there.” Source: ‘Something’s really warped in him’: Trump buried by Morning Joe over ‘shocking’ new claim – Raw Story
