It seems many posters on this forum want to champion the cause of Trump tapping a champagne glass with gold plated spoon, after one of his successful litigation rulings was handed down - over the cause of McCain tapping on a wall in the Hanoi Hilton in an attempt to communicate with civilian contractor Ernie Brace (who he never saw in person until after the war).
In days gone by it mattered what a military career represented. Dan Quale found that serving with the National Guard back home safely in the States (in an era before 9/11), was no badge of merit in the court of public opinion.

August 30, 1988: Jay Leno suggests title for movie about Quayle's Vietnam years: "Full Dinner Jacket."
And that quote by Leno is what he will be forever remembered for.
Could this observation about Dan Quale be applied to Trump's twitterverse?
"He treats language like a Lego set, taking a phrase, repeating and building on it, often without regard to meaningful content..." - Maureen Dowd, New York Times
