Here’s a little-known fact, Normie: An actual part of the job description for every high-level Trump staffer is “defending the indefensible.” You could look it up. Or maybe not, what with all the nondisclosure agreements. What we are getting at is that now that The Candidate has decided he’s officially an enemy of Gold Star families, or at least one of them, various Trump Turd Polishers have been dispatched to hit the talky shows and roll out a vigorous case that in the very public fight between Donald Trump and the parents of an actual war hero, the wronged party is of course Donald J. Trump. Which is why Sunday, on CNN’s “Reliable Sources,” we were treated to the improbable spectacle of Trump spokesperson “Jason Miller” (who appears to be a real person rather than Trump calling on the phone with a sock over the receiver) trying to explain that there is a much larger context for Trump’s seemingly shitheaded attacks on the grieving parents of a soldier who saved untold numbers of fellow soldiers and civilians from a car bomb in Iraq in 2004.
You see, Miller tried to explain, although Donald Trump actually said nice things about the family he’d slurred — very graciously saying Khizr Khan
seemed like a nice guy and very belatedly issuing a statement saying his son was a hero — not a single bit of that really matters, because we are at war with RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISM, and that’s the only reason we need to keep people like Mr. Khan and his family out of the country. Trump’s position keeps changing; he’s backed off his insistence on banning all Muslims to banning only people from countries with a terrorism problem; the Khans, originally from Pakistan, would probably have been screwed either way if Trump’s policy had been in place when they came to the U.S. when Humayun was two years old. (In an alternate reality, the Khan family was in fact barred, Humayun Khan never joined the Army, and the speeding car bomb crashed through a gate and exploded in a mess hall where hundreds of GI’s were having breakfast. You should see the movie It’s A Trumperful Life, truly a classic).
