Khizr Khan: Trump has a 'black soul'

http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/31/politics/khizr-khan-donald-trump-black-soul/

Washington (CNN)Khizr Khan, the father of a Muslim US soldier slain in Iraq in 2004, said Sunday that Donald Trump has a "black soul," indicating he lacks empathy and compassion.

Khan told CNN's Jim Acosta on "State of the Union" that he hopes Trump's family will "teach him some empathy."
"He is a black soul, and this is totally unfit for the leadership of this country," Khan said. "The love and affection that we have received affirms that our grief -- that our experience in this country has been correct and positive. The world is receiving us like we have never seen. They have seen the blackness of his character, of his soul."

Khan moved into the national spotlight after he pulled out a pocket copy of the Constitution during his speech at the Democratic National Convention. He said Trump would have barred his Muslim family from entering the United States.
Khan said Sunday Trump's "policy, his practices, do not reflect that he has any understanding of the basic, fundamental constitutional principles of this country."

What a soul is has been debated since the world began, so I don't know.
A drosophila melanogaster would know better than to attack a grieving parent.

They are both agents of death and misery, nothing more. Cannot wait for Trump to slink back under his rock. Already tired of his shit.
