McCain's ex-chief of staff blasts Trump statement: 'You don't want to put a small man in a big job'

Senator John McCain's (R-AZ), former chief of staff Grant Woods, told CNN's Jim Sciutto that the Office of the President is a big role, filled by a little man.

After the death of McCain, President Donald Trump waited 48 hours before he released an official statement honoring McCain's service.

"Trump finally spoke about McCain. Earlier he released a statement, this of course after being pushed a number of times by Democrats and Republicans," Sciutto said. "What's your reaction to that delay in honoring Senator McCain?"

Grant said that he appreciated Ivanka Trump's, who first released a statement and was at a loss of words for the president actions.

The sort of thing one wipes off at the first opportunity, with much cursing and grumbling about good shoes being ruined.

I assumed LBN posts should only cite the original journalistic source rather than a third party or a platform service. Sometimes, news stories posted on platforms like RawStory contain errors due to bad copy and paste, etc., or a platform editor inserts his own text into the original.

The OP said Source: RawStory, which would mean to me they are the originator, as in "original source of this news". Perhaps I'm being too technical, which us engineers are prone to be, LOL.

I'm relatively new on DU and certainly don't know what's been discussed regarding the LBN rule in years past. Certainly willing to learn anything I can.....

That seems like authentic news to me.

Thank you for your diligence.

That will piss him off as much as anything. We should make that one of our key shout-outs during campaigns.

If you've been watching his photos the last few days, it looks as if he has located a hair artiste who has been adding stuff to the original catastrophe he had when he was sworn in. Now it's a lot fluffier! What's worse, he seems to act cockier, as if he thinks it makes him look "handsome." OMG.

There's something very wierd going on up there where he once had hair.
