Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump lashed out at Nobel
laureate Malala Yousafzai, responding to criticism from the 18-year-old
Pakistani by claiming that “a real hero would have never gotten shot in
the first place.”

“I mean, everyone goes on about how, ‘Oh, she’s soooo brave, and so
courageous,’ just because she got shot in the face. I mean, how brave do
you need to be to get shot in the face? It’s not like she caught the
bullet in her teeth – which, by the way, is what I would have done,”
Trump, who has levied similar criticism at former prisoner of war
Senator John McCain, told The Mideast Beast. “Personally, I prefer
teenage education activists who didn’t get shot in the head.”

Yousafzai, who was 15 when she survived an assassination attempt by the
Taliban, had recently blasted Trump’s proposal to ban Muslims from
entering America. Trump, however, said the Nobel Peace laureate probably
just had “blood coming out of her wherever.”

“I’ve never been shot in the head, but I’ve had to sit in a lot of very
boring meetings which in a lot of ways is worse,” Trump explained.
“Also, I’m very rich. I’ve made a lot – a LOT – of money.”

Trump added that Malala’s hurtful comments showed exactly why the Muslim
ban is needed in the first place.
