Trump has maintained his stance that McCain is not a war hero

Thatā€™s OK because I am pretty certain Senator McCain maintained his stance that ā€˜TRUMP is NOT a PRESIDENTā€™.

Heā€™s a child, which says more about R voters than it does about him.

I guess it really pissed T off that McCain turned the Steele Dossier over to the FBI.

What a little, little, petty, petty, little man.

Frigginā€™ unbelievable. Except itā€™s Spankee. Who is the poster child for bad baby antics.

They just mentioned on MSNBC that trumps supporters are digging in and standing by him. That is a huge percentage of people who share his pettiness.

Trumpā€™s Purple Heart was earned McCainā€™s was not.
If you do not believe this ask Trump and those who still back him.

Trump made his choice. Instead of being presidential, or even a human being, he displayed his petty partisan side (actually his only side).

Ironically, since he has left the high road open, others will go down that path.

Like Obama.

It will no doubt eat at Trump to see Obama make a heart-felt eulogy.

Expect a full force twitter tantrum from the man-child

A class act.

ā€œMy deepest sympathies and respect go out to the family of Senator John McCain. Our hearts and prayers are with you!ā€ he tweeted Saturday.

What the hell is it with all the exclamation points in his communications?

"So sorry to hear you had a miscarriage!!"

"Sad to find out your son was killed in a street robbery!!"

Trump wouldn't know how to display solemnity if his very life depended on it.

Executive order coming soon.
No military honors for a POW.
No military personal will attend.

Watch other R Senators accept and be silent about the deliberate slight like craven dogs they are.

Betcha when Donnie finally kicks he will be the only ā€œpresā€ who rates a ā€œmehā€ from his fellow exes. Even Nixon had five at his funeral (then-prez Bill Clinton, plus Ford, Carter, Reagan and Bush Sr.). Possibly there might be a successor who might go through the motions ā€“ depending on whether the Mueller and SDNY and other investigations means he goes out as our first truly criminal and convicted ā€œprez.ā€

IOW, McCain will most likely have more of a State funeral than Spankee.

You know, Iā€™d be willing to bet that there would be not only an ā€œhonor guardā€ of retired generals, etc., but I could imagine some serving ones considering disobeying such an edict.

Not surprising at allā€¦Trump is the opposite of an American Patriotā€¦heā€™s a Russian pro neo-Nazi traitor.

The threat to our Democracy is Trumpā€¦and it is time to put a lot of pressure on McConnell, Ryan, the entire Texas delegation that stands up for our crooked Russian mob President. This is unbelievable.

Geeā€¦I wonder why the US Military is struggling to get enough enlisted soldier recruits and why the candidates for the academies are now falling below standards applied just 5 years ago. Trump is inflicting serious harm and damage to our nationā€¦and our military.

tRump demonstrates yet again that he cannot understand what the presidency is about. It was to have been a WH statement and as such would represent the executive branch expressing respect and gratitude for McCainā€™s life spent in service to the country. But like everything else, tRump made it about himself - he is a petty, disgusting, tiny man who is incapable of putting aside his own ego and self-interest for even a moment.

Once again, and true to form, Trump reveals himself to be a small, hollow, petty man.
