title:  #TrumpSacrifices: Twitter DESTROYS Trump For Cowardly Attack On Military Family (TWEETS)
text: Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump decided to attack the family of a U.S. soldier who died in combat in Iraq. Responding to Khizr Khan s statement at the Democratic convention that Trump had  sacrificed nothing  for his country while pushing for bans on Muslims, Trump told ABC,  I think I ve made a lot of sacrifices. I work very, very hard. U.S. Army Capt. Humayun Khan was a Muslim immigrant who died serving in Iraq in 2004.On Twitter, the dismissive, callous, and insensitive remarks from the former reality TV star and self-described billionaire (an assertion that has not been independently verified) were quickly attacked.The hashtag #TrumpSacrifices became the top trending hashtag in the world and thousands of posts mocking Trump followed.Many of the posts associated with the tag pointed out Trump s well documented luxury life that has been the selling point of his presidential run.Once survived an entire weekend at Mar-a-Lago with just one can of hairspray. #TrumpSacrifices  Paul Begala (@PaulBegala) July 30, 2016Once flew coach class in college on a dare. #TrumpSacrifices  Sanho Tree (@SanhoTree) July 30, 2016Others noted his history of racially discriminatory policies and statements, most notably when the government had to force Trump to stop blocking blacks from renting in his buildings.#TrumpSacrifices the government forced him to rent apartments to black people. https://t.co/PAguRphnof pic.twitter.com/fBrBLIsOuS  sean.

Trump received military deferments during Vietnam and has compared avoiding sexually transmitted diseases to serving in combat.Gave up his 5 spots in the military for another 5 men. That's generous! No one thanked him #TrumpSacrifices  Sarah (@redpainter1) July 30, 2016Despite the public outcry and condemnation of his comments, senior Republican officials like Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell failed to directly condemn the nominee s attack on a military family, and did not rescind their support for the candidate.Featured image via screen capture
