“If I were president, his son wouldn't have died because we wouldn't be in a war,” Trump said during a Monday night interview on Fox News’s “Hannity.” “I wouldn't have been in the war.”

The GOP presidential nominee’s remarks about Khan — who’s son, Army Capt. Humayun Khan, was killed by a suicide bomber in 2004 in Iraq — have sparked a firestorm among both Democrats and Republicans.

Khan delivered a sharp rebuke against Trump during last week’s speech at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.
