Donald Trump also took of the fact that Khizr Khan’s wife didn't speak. Trump rebuts Khizr Khan: 'I've made a lot of sacrifices. I work very, very hard'

Donald Trump has rejected the claims of a father of a fallen Muslim war hero and Democratic convention speaker who said that the GOP's presidential nominee has “sacrificed nothing” for his country.

“I think I've made a lot of sacrifices. I work very, very hard,” the business mogul said in an interview with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos to air Sunday, rebutting Khizr Khan’s statements against Trump made during final evening of the Democratic convention. Khan, who was flanked by his wife Ghazala, spoke about his son, Humayun Khan, a deceased Muslim American Army captain who was posthumously awarded a Bronze Star and Purple Heart for his actions in Iraq.


Trump added that he has created “thousands and thousands of jobs.” When pressed whether creating jobs is a sacrifice, Trump said, “I think those are sacrifices, I think when I can employ thousands and thousands of people, take care of their education, take care of so many things.”

“He was very emotional and probably looked like a nice guy to me,” Trump said of Khizr Khan.

But Trump also said Ghazala Khan looked “like she had nothing to say.” He added, “She probably, maybe she wasn't allowed to have anything to say. You tell me.”

The statements came after Trump told New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd in an interview published Saturday that he would “like to hear his wife say something.”

Gazala Khan spoke out about her late son during an interview on MSNBC's "The Last Word" broadcast Friday.

"I was keep telling him,'Be safe, and don't become hero for me, just be my son. Come back as a son.' He came back as a hero," she said in near tears.

She said she didn't speak at the convention because she is still overwhelmed by grief.

Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton rebuked Trump in a statement released Saturday: "I was very moved to see Ghazala Khan stand bravely and with dignity in support of her son on Thursday night. And I was very moved to hear her speak last night, bravely and with dignity, about her son's life and the ultimate sacrifice he made for his country.

"This is a time for all Americans to stand with the Khans, and with all the families whose children have died in service to our country. And this is a time to honor the sacrifice of Captain Khan and all the fallen. Captain Khan and his family represent the best of America, and we salute them."

When asked what he would tell Khizr Khan, Trump said "Well we've had a lot of problems with radical Islamic terrorists ... I'd say you gotta take a look at that because there's something going on and it's not good."

Trump also cited what he has done for veterans, including raising "millions of dollars."

“I was very responsible, along with a group of people, in getting the Vietnam Memorial built in downtown Manhattan, which to this day people thank me for," he said. "I raised and have raised millions of dollars for the vets. I’m helping the vets a lot. I think my popularity with the vets is through the roof.”

Trump's claims about how much he has donated to veterans' groups have been heavily scrutinized.
