A man Donald Trump introduced as retired Lt. Col. Louis Dorfman presented the Republican presidential nominee with his Purple Heart before a rally Tuesday in Virginia.
“I said to him, ‘Is that like the real one, or is that a copy?” Mr. Trump recalled in his speech at a high school in Ashburn. He said the veteran assured him that the medal was real, saying, “I have such confidence in you.”
“Man, that’s like big stuff,” Mr. Trump said. “I always wanted to get the Purple Heart — this was much easier. But I’ll tell you, it was such an honor.”
Mr. Trump then invited the U.S. Army veteran onstage to pose for photographs.
The nominee told audience members that he asked Mr. Dorfman to speak, but he responded, “No, sir, I’d like you to just keep saying what you’ve been saying.”

Right now you can bet the rent the lying media has teams of people digging under the fingernails of this vet for any dirt they can possibly find on him to discredit Trump.

By the time this election cycle is over, Trump may really, truly deserve that medal.
I know what I’ve seen the media do to try to discredit him, but part of me wonders if we’ve seen anything yet.
