Seriously how in the could you not find the transcript of what he actually said? It's even highlighted for you. A simple google search brings it up as well. Or if you have trouble googling you could always just watch the actual exchange on YouTube.
gotta love the tough guy act that instantly backfires. The transcript was already posted. Here it is again.

And to kick you while your down here is a comment from the veteran who actually asked Trump the question.
But Staff Sgt. Robichaux didn’t take Mr. Trump’s remarks as insulting — quite the contrary.
“I think it’s sickening that anyone would twist Mr. Trump’s comments to me in order to pursue a political agenda,” the staff sergeant said. “I took his comments to be thoughtful and understanding of the struggles many veterans have, and I believe he is committed to helping them.”

The media collusion with Clinton was ing disgusting
Nothing backfires after one refers to a John McCain as not a credible military man for being captured.

And somehow You think it's easy just to believe a man after he says something this unconscionable?
The CNN stuff was absolutely the worst. But whe Breitbart acts in the other direction... Again, both Fox and CNN hire political hacks, not journalists.
It makes it understandable.
You put piles of up. Have you heard of crying wolf? I wanted the snopes site as it puts it all together. My inability to hunt something down from you constant regurgitate is very much like peeps play with boots.
Nah.
US is to diverse in power and ability to self critize. But there is no way I compare trust in what Trump says with Obama. No way. I hope Trump gets a lot of worthy help.
This thread is [Our] finest hour as an Internet site.
I believe there are better threads, but, I'll be damned if I can cite them.

What is it about that statement that you find unnecessary?
Your inability to hunt something down just shows laziness.
I used a search engine...took like 5 seconds...Trump veterans weak <enter>...1st result was snopes.
So you have to be STRONG to be able to handle it.
Maybe you just have the ability to turn off empathy. Maybe you had witnessed a horrific death as a child that you thought was subconscious and gone but it reared its head... strong... Yea, brain chemistry is a matter of being strong. Just look at the bizarre phobias people have concerning things that can't even hurt them. The simplification is just... stupid.
you gotta a problem knowing I could inject a chemical into you that could turn you into a complete anxious mess in about 5 minutes and there ain't a damn thing you could do to over come it except kill yourself? So are you weak?
Okay so it is the word strong that you took exception to. We've already established that Trump never said anyone was weak. It's funny you complain about the "simplification" but then take the simple view that saying one is strong must mean that all others are weak.
Obama just said Pelosi is a strong leader. Breaking News: Obama just called all Democrats weak leaders except Pelosi.
Good to know we won't be hearing how the MSM is the reason elections are won or lost from here on out, tbh...
that stuff. And I never mentioned the word weak concerning this syndrome because it has nothing to do with it. Are diabetics from birth weak? Are people that acquired the inability to breakdown artificial sweeteners weak? This is about soildiers having to come back to families with extreme difficulties often leading to abuse and divorce, suicide. It's not close to the same thing. Like Donald would know what it was like seeing other people maimed, killed and suffering during a war. It's just further proof of his ignorance concerning trauma in the human brain. At least fckn apologize and say I misspoke there is a much better description that I myself can't describe adequately but will try my best to be empathetic.
Nah, that's to namby pamby, say what you want. No need to be PC...

Exactly. Why are Trump fans still whining?
Because THE MEDIA is treating him unfairly.
And SNL is not funny.
Moving the goalpost again so soon?
They don't love it. People will be fired over it. You invest millions and a year bending your journalism to fit your political agenda and you fail horribly. There's nothing to be happy about.
Nah.
Its insight into how he feels concerning the military. If you think a guy that gets captured during war has some deficiencies, what does it say about the deficiencies of soldiers who have been throug ?
The generals don't know what they are doing.
It's relevant.
I know that cliche (goalpost) is very easy to use and sounds really cool on this site, sports and all. But cmon...

I've noticed you like to put words into people's mouths. Why do you feel the need to paraphrase and change the meaning of someone's statement? Trump didn't mention deficiencies. It's not as if you're either a hero or deficient.
What makes McCain a hero? Because he was captured and tortured or because he survived it? Since when do we consider people who get caught to be heroes? Was Jessica Lynch a hero? What's heroic about being forced to do something against your will for years?
If anything, you could call him a hero because of what he's done with his life since then, not because of being a POW though. I do have respect for the man and what he went through, but I wouldn't think that gives him any great wisdom and he did pick Sarah ing Palin as a running mate and no one really called him a hero then.
Moving the goalpost is a logical fallacy, not a sports term. The original conversation was about PTSD and it's clear that liberties were taken with how his statement was portrayed, one small fraction of his statement was misrepresented by media and many people ate it up but it's right there in print what he actually said and how can you disagree with it?
Who said he he was a hero?
You like to put words in people's mouths.
What I am stating, that you are nit picking, is Trump's statement about McCain being captured and implying this was somehow related to how worthy McCain is as a soldier and Senator. You don't remember this? And yes it is germane and does give insight to the aforementioned discussion.
Something akin to, "Well he got captured" so... When McCain disagreed with Trump. Just like Trumps statement about generals not knowing what they are doing. It is relevant to how he looks at military affairs. The fact McCain got captured has no bearing on his wisdom. Don't move the goal posts.
it's not all okay now just because we overcame that monster of a challenge, high ranking members of the lugenpresse need to be locked up for election tampering
“He’s not a war hero,” said Trump. “He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.”
I can't have a discussion with you if you want to generalize and paraphrase unless you just want a general agreement/disagreement with your "take" instead of a discussion. Invariably these things come down to semantics and you're contaminating the discussion with your own version of how things went.
If someone walks up and sucker punches you and doesn't knock you out, and you regain control and win the fight, are you going to teach him a lesson or what? Those of us with testosterone would be pissed
