Trump doesn't plan to say anything about McCain while he's still alive: report

........................................
The White House did not issue a statement on the senator following the familys announcement Friday, even as top Democratic and Republican figures spoke out in support.
Trump has long had a combative relationship with McCain, who is a frequent and harsh critic of the administration. It was reported earlier this year that McCain did not want Trump to attend his funeral.
Shortly after announcing his presidential campaign, Trump mocked McCain for being captured during the Vietnam War, saying hes not a war hero and that he [likes] people who werent captured.
The Post reported Saturday that Trump told people that he does not regret the comment.
The White House also refused to apologize after a Trump aide mocked McCains brain cancer in a closed-door meeting, saying that his opposition to Trumps nominee for CIA director didnt matter because hes dying anyway. ............................................

(115,858 posts)I'm sure Trump will be his usual charming, gracious self, and will acknowledge and praise McCain's service to his country, right? He will tweet his respects, such as they are, from the golf course where he will be playing while Obama is speaking at the funeral Trump was excluded from.

The mere fact Bush asnd Obama will give eulogies should be enough to piss off the Orange Puke.

(14,176 posts)She will criticize Donald Trump himself, albiet in a very toned down way, but she is so rabid in her defense of the actual Trump voters. She uses the excuse of her continued support of the Republican party as being that she thinks Trump voters are being maligned by the vicious bad liberals, including the other women on the View. She twists the logic of supporting the President because of loyalty and empathy to his supporters, other Republican voters. Please Please show her this on the View.

She had been completely humiliated by Donald through his public association with Marla Maples. How can you say you love us? You dont love us! You dont even love yourself. You just love your money, twelve-year-old Donald junior told his father, according to friends of Ivanas. What kind of son have I created? Trumps mother, Mary, is said to have asked Ivana.

(11,841 posts)But how hard would it be to say "Our thoughts are with John McCain and his family at this time?" Heck, he could add "and prayers" The fact that it's impossible for him says volumes.
For once in that train wreck that's his life, he should just STFU.
On his worst days, John McCain is a far better human being than Moron could ever hope to be.

(11,523 posts)At a minimum he could swallow his bloated pride for a few moments and tweet his best wishes to the family and thank Senator McCain for his years of service to our country, both during his military career and after. (See, I just out-classed the pretend 'leader of the free world').
While I totally disagreed with most of Senator McCains policies and politics he at least possessed a sense of decency, such as when he corrected that woman at his campaign about President Obama's nationality. And Spanky's comments about not McCain not being a war hero because he was captured are appalling and show a complete disrespect for members of our military, both past and present.
Although, on the other hand, Spanky keeping his mouth (and his tweet) quiet about ANYTHING is a miracle in itself and maybe we can be thankful for that.
