"When a veteran gave Donald Trump his Purple Heart earlier this month, David Cay Johnston cringed.
Johnston, the son of a disabled World War II-era veteran, knows the sacrifices that medal represents. It’s only awarded to military personnel wounded or killed in combat.
Trump said of the gift, “I always wanted to get the Purple Heart. This was much easier.”
Johnston, a Pulitzer Prize winner who has written a book on the Republican presidential candidate, has known Trump for decades and told me in a recent interview, “Donald Trump just doesn’t get it. He creates his own reality. The Purple Heart isn’t something anyone seeks.”
