美国穆斯林上尉在阿灵顿国家灵园的墓地，上面的标志代表他的穆斯林信仰。我们曾经参观过法国诺曼第纪念美军烈士的国家灵园，也是基督徒为十字架和犹太人为大卫星的标志。
昨天看了川普与ABC主播George Stephanopoulos的访谈视频，我觉得这无疑是川普竞选美国总统以来最大的滑铁卢之一，当然他这样的失误太多，已经是常态了，所以我们只能称为之一。面对记者问他如何看待为国捐躯的美军上尉Khan (康）的父亲的指控时，川普把重点放在康上尉的母亲上，川普以鄙视的口吻称她在丈夫旁一言不发，直指是被安排好的或者受别的原因约束不能发言，媒体解释为川普称穆斯林女性被不允许说话，可是那位母亲在台上听自己丈夫的演讲有什么错？
从参议员麦肯的描述中可以看出，这位康上尉当时遇见险情是冲向自杀炸弹的袭击，自己牺牲而保全了部队的几百位美军士兵的生命，绝对是美国英雄。康上尉在二 岁时随父母从巴基斯坦移民美国，作为律师的后代，他完全可以通过努力拥有富足的人生，但是他自愿从军，我们很少的移民后代会选择这样的方式去报效美国。当主持人问川普做过哪些牺牲？川普说：“我做过巨大的牺牲，我建了好多房子，雇了成千的人”。然后川普以一贯的加强语气把千说成数万，然后简单重复。但大家 的解释是穆斯林移民牺牲了生命，你川普的牺牲是挣了多少钱。谈及钱时，主持人问川普为什么不公布税表，他说上届候选人罗姆尼公布税款后遭遇不利，加上税务 局查税等理由为他创记录的美国总统候选人的不公布税表辩护。股神巴菲特直指川普不公布税表肯定里面不干净，因为巴菲特也被税务局审查，更大的可能是川普本身就是富人中的穷人，税表公布后他吹的牛立即成为谎言。
川普始终强调极端穆斯林对美国的攻击，而如果在川普总统禁止所有穆斯林的政策下康上尉的全家根本不可能被允许进入美国。川普这些言行甚至会造成美军内部的 不团结，美国穆斯林士兵受刺激枪杀自己战友也是有报道的。共和党前总统候选人麦肯发表声明说川普不能代表共和党的理念，也不配成为它的候选人。共和党众院 议长和参院多数党领袖更是齐声反对川普在此事件上攻击美国英雄的作法，连川普的支持者新泽西州长都认为他的行为不恰当。奥巴马总统更是创下在任总统的记录，直称共和党应该慎重考虑取消川普的候选人资格，因为他根本不配进入椭圆形办公室。
在那个访谈中，川普的国际知识之薄弱也是近几十年来罕见，他甚至不知道俄罗斯已经在乌克兰。共和党代表大会修改党纲以撤掉关于乌克兰的条款，川普都声称他不知道是谁干的。但是有点是肯定的，那就是川普现任竞选主任曾经帮助过倒台的亲俄罗斯的乌克兰总统竞选。
川普抱怨三场辩论中的二场与NFL球赛冲突，他希望更改2015年9月就由共和党和民主党共同预先商定的辩论日期，其中一场是在我们华大。问题是2012 年的辩论也是与NFL冲突的，罗姆尼和奧巴马两方都没有任何人抱怨过，川普要在球赛中途更改竞赛规则。川普对ABC主播说：“NFL给我写了一封信，认为 这样的安排是荒唐的！”。结果NFL回答媒体时说：“我们当然希望委员会找到另外的日子，但是我们没有给川普写过信”。川普先生：当你骂希拉里是骗子时， 想想从你口里说出的文字？
我以前认为川普因为曾经是知名的电视节目主持人，会在辩论中拥有优势。现在觉得未必如此，他在前期竞选中随便说出不负责任的吸引眼球的话后可以离开，但是在一对一的而不是群体的辩论里，你胡言乱语时对方是会反击的，而希拉里无论从知识储备和辩才上都要胜过川普不少。
为国捐驱的巴基斯坦移民后代康上尉。
康上尉的父母在民主党代表大会上痛斥川普的反美国宪法的行径。
川普可以在NFL信函上公开扯谎。
川普自己读了三个大学，从军校转学到常春藤的宾大，然后拥有这样的口头禅：“我非常聪明，你知道的，我毕业于常春藤啊！”，“以任何标准看，沃顿是世界上 最好的商学院”。他自己从军校转商学院以逃避入伍，但他却骂前共和党总统候选人麦肯因为被俘虏而不能称为英雄，麦肯在越战中的战机被击落后坐牢，并且遭遇 虐待，他几次可以认错释放，但是麦肯都坚拒。下面是麦肯对川普攻击美军康上尉父母的行为的措词严厉的声明：
STATEMENT FROM JOHN McCAIN REGARDING THE KHAN FAMILY
Phoenix, AZ-- John McCain issued the following statement today regarding Donald Trump's comments about Khizr and Ghazala Khan, the parents of U.S. Army Captain Humayun Khan, who was killed in Iraq in 2004:
"The Republican Party I know and love is the party of Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Dwight D. Eisenhower, and Ronald Reagan.
"I wear a bracelet bearing the name of a fallen hero, Matthew Stanley, which his mother, Lynn, gave me in 2007, at a town hall meeting in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire. His memory and the memory of our great leaders deserve better from me.
"In recent days, Donald Trump disparaged a fallen soldier's parents. He has suggested that the likes of their son should not be allowed in the United States — to say nothing of entering its service. I cannot emphasize enough how deeply I disagree with Mr. Trump's statement. I hope Americans understand that the remarks do not represent the views of our Republican Party, its officers, or candidates.
"Make no mistake: I do not valorize our military out of some unfamiliar instinct. I grew up in a military family, and have my own record of service, and have stayed closely engaged with our armed forces throughout my public career. In the American system, the military has value only inasmuch as it protects and defends the liberties of the people.
"My father was a career naval officer, as was his father. For hundreds of years, every generation of McCains has served the United States in uniform.
"My sons serve today, and I'm proud of them. My youngest served in the war that claimed Captain Khan's life as well as in Afghanistan. I want them to be proud of me. I want to do the right thing by them and their comrades.
"Humayun Khan did exactly that — and he did it for all the right reasons. This accomplished young man was not driven to service as a United States Army officer because he was compelled to by any material need. He was inspired as a young man by his reading of Thomas Jefferson — and he wanted to give back to the country that had taken him and his parents in as immigrants when he was only two years old.
"Captain Khan's death in Iraq, on June 8th, 2004, was a shining example of the valor and bravery inculcated into our military. When a suicide bomber accelerated his vehicle toward a facility with hundreds of American soldiers, Captain Khan ordered his subordinates away from the danger.
"Then he ran toward it.
"The suicide bomber, striking prematurely, claimed the life of Captain Khan — and Captain Khan, through his selfless action and sacrifice, saved the lives of hundreds of his brothers and sisters.
"Scripture tells us that 'Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.'
"Captain Humayun Khan of the United States Army showed in his final moments that he was filled and motivated by this love. His name will live forever in American memory, as an example of true American greatness.
"In the end, I am morally bound to speak only to the things that command my allegiance, and to which I have dedicated my life's work: the Republican Party, and more importantly, the United States of America. I will not refrain from doing my utmost by those lights simply because it may benefit others with whom I disagree.
"I claim no moral superiority over Donald Trump. I have a long and well-known public and private record for which I will have to answer at the Final Judgment, and I repose my hope in the promise of mercy and the moderation of age. I challenge the nominee to set the example for what our country can and should represent.
"Arizona is watching. It is time for Donald Trump to set the example for our country and the future of the Republican Party. While our Party has bestowed upon him the nomination, it is not accompanied by unfettered license to defame those who are the best among us.
"Lastly, I'd like to say to Mr. and Mrs. Khan: thank you for immigrating to America. We're a better country because of you. And you are certainly right; your son was the best of America, and the memory of his sacrifice will make us a better nation -- and he will never be forgotten."
