So as everybody probably already knows, the Khan family took the stage during the DNC and had a few choice words for Donald J. Trump. It was a huge moment for the DNC during an otherwise troubling convention. In a time of email scandals, and DNC chairs stepping down, this story took off. Khan had two main issues with the Republican nominee. Khan feels as though Trump has no idea what true sacrifice is, and that Trump has not actually read the United States constitution. It's entirely possible that this story would not be as big as it is today if Trump had not responded. In interviews, Trump refuted the claim that he has never actually sacrificed anything by stating that he has, then going on to say that he's created countless jobs. I'm sorry Mr. Trump, but as great as the act of creating jobs is, it is no sacrifice, especially not one on or anywhere near the level of the Khan family's. Trump would also say on Twitter that Khizer Khan had no right to publicly attack him on stage as he did. Well, Mr. Trump, actually he did. It is right there in the first amendment: the freedom of speech. Even if Trump were to claim that it is slander and defamation, the first amendment was designed with the purpose of allowing citizens like Khizer Khan to criticize public officials and leaders, which Trump is in the process of running for. The slander bit might have stuck if Trump were merely a businessman, but the second he decided to run for office, he opened himself up to the critics. Now because of the back and forth between the two, Trump appears nearly inhuman to some. It is now a business man versus the family of a fallen hero... that narrative doesn't look too good on Trump's end. Trump's public policies and his comments are alienating not only the people of this nation, but the people of his own party as well. Trump has publicly attacked Senator John McCain before, stating that he prefers his soldiers not to be captured, insinuating that McCain was a failure as war hero. This new attack on soldiers seems to be the final straw for McCain, as he now publicly denounced Trump. The speaker of the house has also publicly denounced Trump after the candidate's attacks on the integrity of a fallen hero. This has turned itself into a huge issue, one that could have been avoided by Trump simply stating that he feels for the Khan family, or by ignoring it all together. So in a long line of political gaffs by the Republican nominee, one can only guess if the latest mistake will be the one to derail Trump on his run to the White House.
