Today is POW/MIA Recognition Day and Donald Trump took to Twitter to try and honor those American soldiers who were captured or went missing while on the line of duty.
Trump tweeted out the following:
“On National POW/MIA Recognition Day, The @FLOTUS and I honor the men & women of our Armed Forces who have selflessly served our Country & made tremendous sacrifices to defend our liberty. Our Nation remains committed to accounting for all missing Americans.”

It didn’t take long for Twitter users to remind the president about his attacks on the late Senator John McCain for being captured in the Vietnam War.
This is an actual quote from Trump: “I like people that weren’t captured.”
Take a look at some responses below:
This is from the man who denigrated John McCain because he was a prisoner of war. This is from the man who called soldiers who sacrificed their life for their country "Losers." We will never forget. We do not want this man as the Commander in Chief.

“He’s not a war hero. He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.”
