Foxhole comment stupid

Sat., Oct. 29, 2016

Donald Trump states he wouldn’t want to be in a foxhole with moderate Republicans such as John McCain. Apparently Trump is drawing on his own extensive battlefield experience as a 13-year-old spoiled brat prancing about in a gold-brocaded military school uniform.

John McCain was shot down in combat and suffered as a prisoner of war to protect us all. Trump wouldn’t know a foxhole from his own derriere. Is there no limit to the stupidity?
