No way in hell. That was one of the lackeys' tweets.

Nowhere did “he” mention “our great Senator” or something else that bastard would have lied about. Publicly.

Spanky doesn't have a heart.

He's pretty much devoid of sympathy and respect.

Should have been something more personal, like

"Melania and I would like to extend our condolences ..."

What a pathetic statement.

How incredibly odd and tone deaf, though I guess I wouldn't expect better from Trump.

tends to be odd, like he is an alien trying to sound like a human. Such a truly peculiar man.

...there's no pathology associated with it. This man has all the hallmarks of what is called a "Functional Psychopath". Look it up.

He's not worthy to be mentioned in the same day as McCain.

RIP Mr. McCain...your problems are now over.

Functional - barely.

I will look it up - sounds interesting.

Also, what's with the exclamation point ?

whether he means it or not...

He merely offered the bare minimum condolences to the McCain family, never even said a word about Senator McCain nor mentioned his name, let alone said anything his sacrifices for our country (while Spanky's sacrifice was avoid the clap).

that's about it. Trump managed somehow to keep from being insulting. No warmth or genuine sympathy, he's not capable of that.

It's what one says when someone you didn't like dies.

I give him credit for that. A glowing tweet would have looked ridiculous. An insult would have seemed callous.

king con is not the author of the tweet.

More like tweeting a generic statement written for him by a staffer.

Trump said McCain wasn’t a hero, because McCain was captured and held prisoner for 5 years in Vietnam.

Yet, Trump himself used 5 ‘medical’ deferments to avoid military service.

“My deepest sympathies and respect go out to the family...

Not trying to be nit picky, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he purposely did that.

That apricot hellbeast needs to keep his mouth off McCains name.

He has neither depth, sympathy, respect, heart, nor prays. So how can he give them.

It is coherent, and not mean. Somebody else wrote it. We'll know if there is another mean tweet in the middle of the night.

they still don't get punctuation.

John McCain survived the fire aboard the USS Forrestal, when he was in the thick of it.
John McCain survived being a tortured prisoner of war after his plane was shot down.
John McCain earned his position as a US Senator and served proudly and with honor.
John McCain traveled to Washington DC while undergoing treatment for brain cancer to cast the deciding vote that saved the ACA.

Donald Trump dodged the draft, proving he was a coward.
Donald Trump has indiscriminately imprisoned many immigrants who came here to escape violence and poverty.
Donald Trump has never served his country in any capacity and has done a great deal of harm to our democracy.
Donald Trump has never been fairly elected to any public office.
Donald Trump has been laundering money for the wealthy Russian mob for over 30 years.
Donald Trump has committed treason.

If I were a member of John McCain's family, I would not even accept this pig's fake condolences.
When Donald Trump dies, I would love to piss on his grave.

Traitor Trump has already given his eulogy.

JM served his country - POW.

DT said avoiding STDs was his personal VN.

Governor of Arizona to appoint his successor so he can get the”get out of jail Supreme Court Justice” installed”?

I bet it will happen In the next few days. ...

Trump hated McCain because he knew that he could never exceed McCain’s service to the country. So, in typical Trump style, instead of acknowledging McCain’s service he simply burned it to the ground. I can’t believe the US has reached the point where a man of McCain’s stature has been vilified by the right and GOP - dark days.

On the outside of a dollar store sympathy card.

Below is a statement issued by Senator John McCain on President Trump’s meeting with Vladimir Putin:

Today’s press conference in Helsinki was one of the most disgraceful performances by an American president in memory. The damage inflicted by President Trump’s naiveté, egotism, false equivalence, and sympathy for autocrats is difficult to calculate. But it is clear that the summit in Helsinki was a tragic mistake.

“President Trump proved not only unable, but unwilling to stand up to Putin. He and Putin seemed to be speaking from the same script as the president made a conscious choice to defend a tyrant against the fair questions of a free press, and to grant Putin an uncontested platform to spew propaganda and lies to the world.

“It is tempting to describe the press conference as a pathetic rout – as an illustration of the perils of under-preparation and inexperience. But these were not the errant tweets of a novice politician. These were the deliberate choices of a president who seems determined to realize his delusions of a warm relationship with Putin’s regime without any regard for the true nature of his rule, his violent disregard for the sovereignty of his neighbors, his complicity in the slaughter of the Syrian people, his violation of international treaties, and his assault on democratic institutions throughout the world.“

He would have been better off saying nothing at all.

I will honor the memory of a fallen warrior, John McCain. Not for his politics but for his willingness to sacrifice his own life in service to this country.

Should I live long enough to see your death Trump I will throw a joyous party and piss on your dishonorable grave!!

Trump is just a heartless SOB

On the passing of John McCain, WH pool reporters are being advised by @PressSec to refer to Trump’s tweet. That Trump tweet is obviously not the same as an official statement from the president of the United States.

He's really the lousiest person in the world.

...of a generic Dollar Store condolence card. Blah pablum.

Doing so without mention of the man himself is a slam.

Not to mention the current market value on Trump brand "hearts and prayers".

It could have been said about anyone who had just died. It was Obama's tribute they made the centre of the report, since it was a proper one about McCain and his achievements.

They did note that Melania did do a follow-up "Thank you Senator McCain for your service to the nation" which at least includes "service" and "thank you".

I was moved to tears.

That drumpf didnt author in the first place. He's far too petty and vindictive and since everything is only about him, he truly had zero to say so let a subordinate post that for him. drumpf should be scorned for this, he's such a weak pathetic pretend man. Sad that his so ignorant and hate filled sycophants won't even notice, their heads are so far up the traitors ass.

It was just a curt, generic message of condolence to the family. Did Trump think throwing in an exclamation point added sincerity?

He didn't "pay tribute" at all. He read a few lines that a writer wrote for him, that someone like Kelly convinced him was necessary to publish, because he can't even manage to come up with anything himself that would sound sincere....because he doesn't know the meaning.

It would seem to more appropriate in a congratulatory phrase. The entirety of the note is terse and lacking any significant compassion for their grief. I can only suppose this is the best that he could draw up from a rather compromised soul.
