RantCrush Top 5: August 3, 2016

I don’t think Donald Trump understands the concept of meritocracy, which ironically is at the very core of the Republican platform. This Tuesday he said he always wanted a Purple Heart, which is a military decoration awarded to those who are wounded or killed in the line of duty and subsequently received one from a veteran (although its authenticity is questionable).

Trump then got up before a crowd in Ashburn, Virginia and said, “I always wanted to get the Purple Heart,”  He held up the Purple Heart “This was much easier.”

Donald Trump is now the proud owner of a Purple Heart https://t.co/LCLxVqKfVt pic.twitter.com/4fWLojsnXk

This comes after he insulted a Gold Star family whose son died in Iraq and the NYTimes released a revealing piece about Trump’s FIVE Selective Service deferments during the Vietnam War.

Raise your hand if you’re sick of Donald Trump’s entitled bullshit.
