....so now he's attacking ...fire marshals?
That's right, fire marshals.
On Friday, Trump accused a fire marshal in Colorado Springs of being a Hillary supporter.
But that's not why I'm posting this item.
UPDATE: Trump is now attacking the parents of a soldier who sacrificed his life in defense of this country. Scroll down below the photo to see the update.
Look at the great shot of Trump that Colorado Springs Gazette photographer Stacie Scott took following rally!
The baby on the right is all of us.

UPDATE
Via the New York Times:
Donald J. Trump reeled on Sunday amid a sustained campaign of criticism by the parents of a Muslim American soldier killed by a suicide bomber in Iraq and a rising outcry within his own party over his rough and racially charged dismissal of the couple.
The confrontation between the parents, Khizr and Ghazala Khan, and Mr. Trump has emerged as an unexpected and potentially pivotal flash point in the general election. Mr. Trump has plainly struggled to respond to the reproach of a military family who lost a child, and he has repeatedly answered the Khan family’s criticism with harsh and defensive rhetoric.
[...]
Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, said Sunday that Mr. Trump had crossed another inviolable line. Like his comments about Mr. Curiel, Mr. Graham said, Mr. Trump’s jabs at Mr. and Ms. Khan were entirely unacceptable. “This is going to a place where we’ve never gone before, to push back against the families of the fallen,” he said.
“There used to be some things that were sacred in American politics, that you don’t do, like criticizing the parents of a fallen soldier, even if they criticize you,” Mr. Graham continued. “If you’re going to be leader of the free world, you have to be able to accept criticism, and Mr. Trump can’t.”
Mr. Graham added: “The problem is, ‘unacceptable’ doesn’t even begin to describe it.”
