The Madman just got a purple heart.

Allegedly handed to him from a supporter.

"I always wanted to get the purple heart. This was much easier."

Audience laughs.

Because who needs to be wounded during war time to get a Purple Heart when you can just be a proto-fascist jackass running for President and have them handed to you? It's hi-LAR-ious!

likely needs his head examined if he truly rates his own sacrifice as such a paltry thing.

he means he always wanted to *have* an purple heart without having to actually do things like, you know, serve his country and get wounded.

for him, this is perfect. he can now say that he "has" a purple heart, which is all he cares about. being able to say he has one.

another win for trump! lol!

5. Anyone remember how much crap McCain got for being in "Wedding Crashers"?

One of the characters passes himself off as a Purple Heart awardee to McCain. It's been a while since I saw the movie. Fox News jumped all over McCain and, I think, the scene was cut from the video release.
