DHAKA: Donald Trump rejected a Muslim lawyer’s assertion on the Democratic convention stage that the Republican nominee has ‘sacrificed nothing and no one’.
‘Who wrote that? Did Hillary’s script writers write it?’ Trump said that in an interview with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos to air Sunday.
‘I think I’ve made a lot of sacrifices. I work very, very hard.’
Khizr Khan, whose son Army Capt. Humayun Khan died in Baghdad in 2004, delivered one of the most powerful speeches of the Democratic National Convention.
With his wife Ghazala at his side, Khan repeatedly blasted Trump’s immigration proposals specifically those aimed at barring Muslims and said that the billionaire businessman has ‘sacrificed nothing and no one’.
Trump, in the ABC interview, said in response that ‘I’ve created thousands and thousands of jobs, tens of thousands of jobs, built great structures. I’ve had tremendous success. I think I’ve done a lot’.
Khan ‘was, you know, very emotional and probably looked like a nice guy to me’, Trump added.
