Problem:“I’d like to hear his wife say something.” 
  
 On Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe saying that Hillary would turn around as president and support the trade deal: 
  
 “He is the only person closer to Hillary Clinton than Bill. I know Terry very well. And he said that Hillary is saying she’s against the Trans-Pacific Partnership now, but if she gets in, don’t worry, she’ll go back to supporting it. She went from calling it the gold standard to going against it. But if she gets in, she’ll change a comma or something and support it again. 
  
 On the hack of D.N.C. emails, with the Russians as the suspected perpetrators: 
  
 “Emails in general are terrible. There’s no security. It happens so often. I’m old-fashioned. I put a letter in an envelope and have it hand delivered. My son is 10 years old, and he has grown up computer literate. They start using computers before they can walk. His computer was locked and he unlocked it. And I said, ‘Barron, how did you do that?’ And he said, ‘I won’t tell you, Dad.’”

 On former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright talking about how Trump may be “the Siberian candidate,” a puppet of Vladimir Putin: 
  
 “Madeleine Albright. Talking about a name from the past. Putin said I was a genius. I do say this: Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we actually could get along with Russia and China and some other countries that we don’t get along with, and then we go out and knock the hell out of ISIS? Wouldn’t it be nice if we cleaned that mess up? Wouldn’t it be smart?” 
  
 On Missouri Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill telling Andrea Mitchell on MSNBC that Trump inviting a foreign government to hack our government “violates the Logan Act and he should be investigated.” (The Logan Act, passed in 1799, bars private citizens from negotiating with foreign governments without permission.) 
  
 “I said it as sarcasm. There were 200 reporters asking me questions and I wanted to be sarcastic, comparing their questions on the D.N.C. hacking to the fact that Hillary Clinton wiped out 33,000 emails through deletion or otherwise. It’s so ridiculous.” 
  
 On retired four-star Gen. John Allen hollering, alluding to Trump, that “our international relations will not be reduced to a business transaction” and that “our armed forces will not become an instrument of torture, and they will not be engaged in murder, or carry out other illegal activities”: 
  
 “He’s a failed general. He was fighting ISIS? He’s not Gen. George Patton. He’s talking about me and he knows nothing about me. I have a general — General Flynn. I’ll take him any day.” 
  
 On Tim Kaine’s speech taunting, “Hey, Donald, what are you hiding?” about Trump’s refusal to release his tax returns: 
  
 “I never met the guy. I never saw the guy. He proposed raising taxes in Virginia in his first week by $4 billion. He’s the exact opposite of Bernie Sanders from just about every standpoint. Sanders people will not vote for Hillary. I will release my tax returns after the audit.

 On Bryan Cranston of “Breaking Bad” and L.B.J. “All the Way” fame contending that Trump doesn’t really want to be president: 
  
 “I want to make America great again. I can do it. She can’t.” 
  
 On Joe Biden’s speech saying Trump was full of “malarkey” and had “no clue”: 
  
 “He tried very hard. He took some shots at me, but I’m fine. I’m getting used to it.” 
  
 On Bernie Sanders: 
  
 “I think he wanted to go home and go to sleep. I’d like to hear his wife say something. He could have left one of the great legacies, but he made a deal and now he has buyer’s remorse.” 
  
 On Anthony Weiner being in the convention hall in bright red pants, calling Trump’s convention “a Dumpster fire”: 
  
 “I think he’s a pervert. It’s dangerous to allow him on the convention floor.” 
  
 On Roger Ailes getting fired as head of Fox News over cascading sexual harassment allegations: 
  
 “Roger’s a friend of mine.” 
  
 On his friend Bill O’Reilly getting criticized for saying — after Michelle spoke about the wonder of her daughters growing up in a White House built by slaves — that those slaves were well fed: 
  
 “One thing about Bill, he’ll find a way to be just fine.” 
  
 On Hillary’s big night: 
  
 “I’m feeling she’s not going to get in. I have a strong feeling about it. I don’t think she has what it takes. I watched her last night. It was hard to watch. I was falling asleep. It beats Sominex every time. She could barely beat Bernie. The system is rigged. It’s a terrible thing.” ||||| The most emotional moment of the Democratic National Convention was the speech by Khizr Khan, the bereaved father of Army Captain Humayun Khan. With his wife Ghazala by his side, Khan recalled his son’s character, his faith, his patriotism — and, ultimately, his courageous death in the service of the country he loved, and the fellow soldiers he was protecting. 
  
 And, yes, the Khan family is Muslim. Under Trump’s proposed policies, they would be innately suspect; had he been president when they immigrated to America, they would’ve been barred from entering, and Humayun Khan never would have served. 
  
 "Have you ever been to Arlington Cemetery?" Khan asked Trump. "Go look at the graves of brave patriots who died defending the United States of America. You will see all faiths, genders, and ethnicities. You have sacrificed nothing and no one." 
  
 On ABC this morning, Trump responded to Khan’s speech. I don’t know what I expected from Trump. Maybe he would show some gentleness. Maybe he would show some empathy. Maybe he would refuse to comment. Maybe he would attack Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama’s foreign policy leadership. All of those responses would have been fine. 
  
 Trump’s actual response, though, wasn’t fine. 
  
 "If you look at his wife, she was standing there," he said, on national television. "She had nothing to say. She probably, maybe she wasn't allowed to have anything to say. You tell me." 
  
 This wasn’t a slip of the tongue. In an interview with Maureen Dowd, Trump took the same tack. "I’d like to hear his wife say something," he said. 
  
 Let’s be very clear about what Trump is doing here: As ABC wrote, he’s suggesting "Khan’s wife didn’t speak because she was forbidden to as a Muslim." This is bullshit. It is flatly, verifiably, false. But that’s almost beside the point. 
  
 Trump listened to a speech by the bereaved father of a fallen Muslim soldier and used it to slander the fallen soldier’s family. That was his response. That is his character. 
  
 At this point, I honestly don’t know what to say. I don’t have new language for this, I haven’t found another way of saying this isn’t okay, this isn’t kind, this isn’t decent. Instead, I’ll note James Fallows’s response. He quotes Joseph Welch, speaking to Sen. Joseph McCarthy in 1954. 
  
 "Until this moment," he said, "I think I never really gauged your cruelty." 
  
 If you would like to see Ghazala Khan speak, you can do so in this interview she gave to MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell. As Fallows writes, she breaks down sobbing while speaking of her son. It suggests she let her husband give the DNC speech for a simple reason: She remains overwhelmed by grief. 
  
 This is the woman Trump decided to slander. This is the gauge of his cruelty. 
  
 This isn't partisan. This isn't left versus right. Mitt Romney never would have said this. John McCain never would have said this. George W. Bush never would have said this. John Kerry never would have said this. This is what I mean when I write that the 2016 election isn't simply Democrat versus Republican, but normal versus abnormal. 
  
 Trump also wanted the Khans to know that, like them, he had sacrificed for this country. 
  
 "I've made a lot of sacrifices," Trump said. "I work very, very hard. I've created thousands and thousands of jobs, tens of thousands of jobs, built great structures. I've had tremendous success. I think I've done a lot." 
  
 I honestly do not understand how a human being can respond to a family that lost their son for this country by saying that he has sacrificed too, he’s worked really hard, he’s built "great structures," he's had "tremendous success." 
  
 This is not a question that needs to be asked in most elections, but it needs to be asked in this one: What kind of person is Donald Trump? What kind of person says these things? And is that really the kind of person we want to be president? 
  
 Watch: This election is about normal vs. abnormal ||||| In his first response to a searing charge at the Democratic National Convention from Khizr Khan, the father of a Muslim soldier killed in Iraq, that he "sacrificed nothing" for his country, Donald Trump claimed that he sacrificed by employing "thousands and thousands of people." Also, he suggested that Khan's wife, Ghazala Khan, didn't speak at the convention because she was forbidden to as a Muslim and questioned whether Khan's words were his own. 
  
 "Who wrote that? Did Hillary's scriptwriters write it?" Trump said in an interview with ABC News' George Stephanopoulos. "I think I've made a lot of sacrifices. I work very, very hard." 
  
 On the last night of the Democratic National Convention on Thursday, Gold Star father Khizr Khan, with his wife by his side, recounted to the crowd how their son, U.S. Army Capt. Humayun Khan, was killed in 2004 by a car bomb in Iraq. 
  
 Khizr Khan chastised Trump for seeking to bar foreign Muslims from entering the country, saying their son would not have been able to serve under a Trump presidency. 
  
 "Go look at the graves of brave patriots who died defending the United States of America," Khizr Khan said, addressing Trump. "You will see all faiths, genders and ethnicities. You have sacrificed nothing and no one." 
  
 Trump appeared to try to brush the speech aside, saying that Khizr Khan "was, you know, very emotional and probably looked like a nice guy to me." 
  
 Trump also said, "If you look at his wife, she was standing there. She had nothing to say. She probably — maybe she wasn't allowed to have anything to say. You tell me." 
  
 This appears to be Trump tipping his hat to some far-right-wing and nationalist Twitter users who have suggested that Ghazala Khan was silent during her husband's speech because they are Muslim and he prohibits her from speaking. 
  
 In an interview with ABC today, Ghazala Khan said she did not speak because she was "in pain." 
  
 "Please. I am very upset when I heard when he said that I didn't say anything. I was in pain. If you were in pain, you fight or you don't say anything. I'm not a fighter. I can't fight. So the best thing I do was quiet," she said. 
  
 Khizr Khan said he asked his wife of 42 years to speak but she declined, knowing she would be too emotional. 
  
 "I invited her, 'Would you like to say something on the stage?' when the invitation came, and she said, 'You know how it is with me, how upset I get,'" he said. 
  
 Pressed by Stephanopoulos to identify the sacrifices he made for his country, Trump said, "I think I've made a lot of sacrifices. I work very, very hard. I've created thousands and thousands of jobs, tens of thousands of jobs, built great structures. I've had tremendous success. I think I've done a lot." 
  
 Trump also cited his work on behalf of veterans, including helping build a Vietnam War memorial in Manhattan and raising "millions of dollars" for vets. 
  
 Paul Rieckoff, the founder and CEO of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, a nonpartisan group with close to 200,000 members, said, "For anyone to compare their 'sacrifice' to a Gold Star family member is insulting, foolish and ignorant. Especially someone who has never served himself and has no children serving. Our country has been at war for a decade and a half, and the truth is most Americans have sacrificed nothing. Most of them are smart and grounded enough to admit it." |||||
Solution:
The speech by Khizr Khan, the father of a Muslim-American Army captain killed in Iraq, was hailed as a high point of this week's Democratic National Convention. In the speech, Khan called out Donald Trump for his proposed Muslim ban and for having "sacrificed nothing and no one" for his country. On Saturday, Trump responded to Khan. "I've made a lot of sacrifices," Trump told ABC News. "I work very, very hard. I've created thousands and thousands of jobs, tens of thousands of jobs, built great structures. I've had tremendous success. I think I've done a lot." He also wondered if Khan even wrote his own speech, saying maybe it was the work of Hillary Clinton's speech writers. Trump also addressed Khan's wife, Ghazala Khan, who stood silently beside her husband during his speech. "She had nothing to say," Trump said. "She probably, maybe she wasn't allowed to have anything to say. You tell me." It was a reiteration of a point he made late Friday in an interview with the New York Times. It was also a bridge too far, according to Ezra Klein at Vox. Klein says the idea that Ghazala Khan was forbidden from speaking because she is a Muslim is "bullshit." In interviews, Ghazala has said she was too "overwhelmed by grief" to speak. Klein argues Trump used a "speech by the bereaved family of a fallen Muslim soldier" to "slander" them. "This is the gauge of his cruelty," Klein concludes.
