Twitter blew up this weekend after Donald Trump responded to the charge made by Khizr Khan, the Muslim American father of a fallen soldier, that the billionaire (millionaire?) has “sacrificed nothing and no one.” In response to Khan’s standout speech at the Democratic National Convention last week, Drumpf told ABC News:
I think I’ve made a lot of sacrifices. I’ve worked very, very hard. I’ve created thousands and thousands of jobs, tens of thousands of jobs…I think when I can employ thousands and thousands of people, take care of their education, take care of so many things. Even in military. I mean I was very responsible along with a group of people for getting the Vietnam Memorial built in downtown Manhattan which to this day people thank me for. I raised and I have raised millions of dollars for the vets. I’m helping the vets a lot. I think my popularity with the vets is through the roof.
And so was born #TrumpSacrifices, the hilarious Twitter trend eviscerating the Donald for his myopic self-regard, tone-deafness and hypocrisy. Here are some of the standouts, our favorites of course being the ones about sex & relationships:
"I embarrass myself by publicly hitting on my hot daughter just so she gets used to creepy old men coming onto her."#TrumpSacrifices
