Trump did not trash the parents for speaking about their lost son. If the parents had left it at just speaking about their son, then that would have been fine. The whole point would have been to show the nation that Muslim citizens are just as patriotic and good as other US citizens.
But the father crossed the line when he decided to public insult Trump in front of hundreds of millions of people and try to convince them to not like Trump. That was uncalled for, inappropriate, and wrong. Should have just stuck with showing how Muslims are good people too.
I'm not supporting Trump firing back at them, but don't act like Trump started it, or that Trump was insulting the son. The son is the one who made the sacrifice, not his parents.
Other than, you know, calling for a ban on all Muslims entering the United States.
