Off-Topic Trump Given Purple Heart by Supporter -- Trump says much easier than combat
Trump gifted Purple Heart, says he 'always wanted' one http://www.kxlf.com/story/32599192/trump-gifted-purple-heart-says-he-always-wanted-one A military veteran supporting Donald Trump gifted the Republican nominee his Purple Heart Tuesday, prompting Trump to say he "always wanted to get the Purple Heart" and this was "much easier" than serving in combat. Purple Hearts are awarded to service members who suffer wounds in combat. "Something very nice just happened to me. A man came up to me and handed me his Purple Heart," Trump told supporters at a campaign event here. "I said to him, 'Is that like the real one or is that a copy?' And he said, 'That's my real Purple Heart. I have such confidence in you.'" Trump received the veteran on stage at the start of the rally to receive the decoration. "I always wanted to get the Purple Heart. This was much easier," Trump said. Trump then pocketed the decoration after the veteran left the stage. - - - --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein ([email protected]): https://www.vortex.com/lauren Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: https://www.nnsquad.org - PRIVACY Forum: https://www.vortex.com/privacy-info Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: https://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: https://lauren.vortex.com Google+: https://google.com/+LaurenWeinstein Twitter: https://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com I have consulted to Google, but I am not currently doing so -- my opinions expressed here are mine alone. _______________________________________________ pfir mailing list https://lists.pfir.org/mailman/listinfo/pfir
