"I think I've made a lot of sacrifices," Trump said

This is Donald Trump's comeback to Khizr Khan — the father of a fallen Muslim U.S. soldier. 

Khan spoke brashly about Trump at the Democratic National Convention. 

"You have sacrificed nothing," Khan said

"Donald Trump consistently smears the character of Muslims. He disrespects other minorities ... women," Khan said.

Trump's response didn't just focus on Khan.

"If you look at his wife, she was standing there. She had nothing to say. She probably, maybe she wasn't allowed to have anything to say," Trump said

But Khan's wife, Ghazala, said she was overcome with sadness. 

"When I saw the picture ... I couldn't take it, and I controlled myself at that time, so it is very hard," Ghazala Khan said.
