Quote: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:


 

 

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.

 

Trump was betraying his ignorance of American Muslims, yet again.  Some Christian, Jewish, and Muslim factions like to keep their women silent, but the vast majority don't.  He's allowed to speculate all he wants, but he doesn't have to say anything.

 

And he shouldn't have said anything about her, but that's my big problem with him.  He can't take criticism, and guys that can't take criticism aren't very likely to take advice. 

 

And guys that can't take advice wind up spending trillions invading Iraq because they're convinced they're right and everyone else is wrong.
