His allegation that Khan's mother 'wasn't allowed to have anything to say'. 

 

99% of people would have seen that speech and felt nothing but sympathy for that woman. Trump instead tries to turn her into a symbol of his perceived Muslim oppression, and use her to stoke up anti-Muslim sentiment.

 

It lacks any degree of class, compassion or decency. Trump is so obviously a despicable human being, and it is terrifying that such a large percentage of the country support him.

Ah, that was posted before JW's transcript, not in reference to it, and you didn't quote Trump's actual words. Here they are:


 

Quote: 

 

He doesn't know. He doesn't know that. I saw him. He was, you know, very emotional and probably looked like a nice guy to me. His wife, if you look at his wife, she was standing there. She had nothing to say. She probably, maybe she wasn't allowed to have anything to say. You tell me. But plenty of people have written that. She was extremely quiet. And it looked like she had nothing to say. A lot of people have said that. And personally, I watched him. I wish him the best of luck.
 

He speculated that the reason Khan's wife didn't speak might be because they were devout Muslims. That IS a part of the religion as practiced by many (but not all) Muslims. If someone speculated that a Catholic was eating fish on a Friday because of his religion, I wouldn't call it an insult.
