"Washington Post Smeared Donald Trump; Misrepresented His Comments on John McCain"

"...2. When a panelist characterized McCain as a “war hero,” the Post is accurate in reporting that Trump initially said McCain is “not a war hero.” But then, Trump immediately modified his statement saying– four times– that McCain is a war hero:
“He is a war hero.”
“He’s a war hero because he was captured.”
“He’s a war hero, because he was captured.”
“I believe, perhaps, he’s a war hero. But right now, he’s said some very bad things about a lot of people.”..." |
MOO, this additional information make things worse for Mr. Trump.
He's getting acclaim for "telling it like it is" but now we see the man reversing himself. Which view reflects his personal beliefs versus his "politically correct" POV? Does his understanding of McCain's heroism track with what happened?
He wants to be the American president and has shown he can get baited by a panelist into saying something he automatically retracts. What happens during a debate a Democratic candidate who is deliberately trolling him? What happens when the panel consists of Putin, Xi Jinping, and others trying to gain leverage?
