The Value of Plain Talk

You've got to hand it to The Donald. He really does just say what people are already thinking but won't say because of their desperate desire to be liked, to be politically correct, to not stir up a fight. Trump doesn't  care, and oddly enough has still earned 8 billion dollars despite nobody liking him. It seems clear that plain talk has at the very least financial value.

Trump's latest foot-in-mouth moment that has the media foaming was when he said Senator John McCain "is not a war hero" just because he was captured by the Viet Cong and held in a Saigon prison for five years. I too have always wondered why someone who gets caught and survives is considered a hero, yet you never hear a word, congratulatory or otherwise, about the rest of the platoon who were quick-footed or smart enough to get away.

Donald Trump is certainly no diplomat. But then again, I am positive he is not a Muslim terrorist sympathizer like some people seem to be.
