Trump attacks McCain: 'I like people who weren't captured' at the family leadership summit. Donald Trump today took lots of shots at John McCain, including––most shockingly––the fact that he was a prisoner of war while serving in Vietnam. Trump’s been feuding with McCain after McCain said Trump is “firing up the crazies” with his outlandish rhetoric, and Trump fired back by calling McCain a “dummy.” Donald Trump might finally have crossed the line Appearing on Saturday at the Family Leadership Summit in Ames, Iowa, the real estate mogul took his running feud with Arizona Sen. John McCain to a new level. “He was a war hero because he was captured,” Trump said. “I like people who weren’t captured.” Trump sat down on stage with pollster Frank Luntz at the Family Leadership Summit and continued to fire back at McCain (while still bragging about the crowd he drew because that’s his modus operandi). At one point, he said he supported McCain in 2008, but doesn’t like him very much now. Luntz pointed out that McCain’s a war hero, and that’s when Trump said this: “He’s a war hero ’cause he was captured. I like people that weren’t captured.” Also, just for the record, Trump got draft deferments. Update- 12:43 pm EST: Go ahead and guess if he’s apologizing: Trump says he won't apologize to McCain — Ben Jacobs (@Bencjacobs) July 18, 2015 Donald Trump: "I am not supposed to respect the people who didn't get captured?" — Ben Jacobs (@Bencjacobs) July 18, 2015 Update- 1:13 pm EST: Trump got roundly savaged and mocked on Twitter, especially by conservatives who essentially told him to get bent. Watch the video below, via C-SPAN: Donald Trump might finally have crossed the line Appearing on Saturday at the Family Leadership Summit in Ames, Iowa, the real estate mogul took his running feud with Arizona Sen. John McCain to a new level. “He was a war hero because he was captured,” Trump said. “I like people who weren’t captured.” The remark, which came after days of back-and-forth between McCain and Trump, was met with scattered boos. McCain, a former Navy pilot, spent roughly five-and-half years in a notorious North Vietnamese prison known as the “Hanoi Hilton,” where he was repeatedly tortured. He spent two of those years in solitary confinement. Trump received four student deferments from military service between 1964 and 1968. Republicans quickly distanced themselves from Trump’s remarks.
