Maggie Haberman And Jake Tapper Roast Trump Medal of Honor Slam

MAGGIE HABERMAN, MAGGIE CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT HE WAS TRYING TO SAY AND DOES HE UNDERSTAND HOW AT ALL HOW OFFENSIVE THOSE COMMENTS ARE TO SO MANY VETERANS AND SERVICE MEMBERS AND VETERANS OF FOREIGN WARS, WHICH IS A NONPARTISAN AS AN ORGANIZATION CALLING HIS COMMENTS ASININE, WORKING BACKWARDS. >> I DON'T THINK HE UNDERSTANDS HOW OFFENSIVE IT IS. I ALSO DON'T THINK HE ESPECIALLY CARES HOW OFFENSIVE IT IS. AND WHAT HE WAS TRYING TO SAY IS EXACTLY WHAT HE SAID. I MEAN, HE HAS SAID SOME VERSION OF THIS BEFORE ABOUT THE METALS. I CAN'T REMEMBER EXACTLY WHEN IT WAS, BUT FOR A GUY WHO ALONG WITH HIS AIDES HAS SPENT YEARS NOW CLAIMING THAT HE NEVER MADE THE SUCKERS AND LOSERS COMMENT THAT COMMENT ABOUT THE MEDAL OF HONOR WAS PRETTY CLOSE TO SAYING IT THAT HERE'S A BETTER A BETTER MEDAL BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE TO DIE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HE WAS SAID TO HAVE SAID TO JOHN KELLY JOHN KELLY SON'S GRAVE SITE, JOHN KELLY'S SON DIED SERVING IN THE MILITARY YOU KNOW, WHAT ESSENTIALLY WHAT, WHAT GOOD DOES THIS DO? WHAT'S THE POINT OF THIS? PEOPLE LOSE. YOU LOSE YOUR LIFE. WHAT'S THE POINT? THE POINT IS SERVICE, AND THIS IS JUST NOT SOMETHING THAT TRUMP'S MIND EVER GOES TO, AND IT'S PRETTY REMARKABLE BECAUSE HE IS SOMEBODY WHO WENT TO MILITARY SCHOOL WHEN HE WAS A CHILD. BUT THIS IS JUST SOMETHING THAT HE HAS NEVER PROCESSED, NEVER BEEN PARTICULARLY INTERESTED IN PROCESSING, AND IT CONTINUES TO OFFEND A LOT OF PEOPLE AND IT'S MOSTLY NOTABLE, JAKE RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE HIS CAMPAIGN IS WAGING THIS ASSAULT ON TIM WALZ AND HIS MILITARY SERVICE. AND THEN TRUMP SAYS SOMETHING LIKE THIS, AND IT JUST REMINDS EVERYBODY THAT TRUMP ACTUALLY DID NOT SERVE. >> WHAT'S NOT TO SAY HE DIDN'T SERVE. HE GOT DEFERMENTS YES. HE HAD BONE SPURS IN HIS FOOT BY A WRITTEN A LETTER WRITTEN BY A DOCTOR WHO KNEW HIS FATHER? >> YEAH. EVEN THOUGH HE WAS A COLLEGE ATHLETE, RIGHT. PLAYED BASKETBALL AND I THINK EVEN BASEBALL BASEBALL TO ABOUT COLLEGE, BUT HE WAS IN HIGH SCHO
