American political leaders of both parties are paying tribute and offering prayers for ailing Arizona Sen. John McCain, but President Donald Trump has so far been silent.

Neither the White House nor the president has yet spoken out after McCain's family announced Friday that the former prisoner of war and longtime public servant would no longer seek medical treatment for an aggressive form of brain cancer.

He’s not dead. Those vultures are just trying to outdo each other beating their chests and rendering their garments.

Tacky

Better to be criticized for silence than for being a hypocrite. . . . IMHO

If Trump said anything it'd be seen as hypocritical.

Everybody has to chime in on this.

McCain is so wonderful that even the Pope is going to declare him a saint before he is dies.

McCain is just pimping his death.

Why doesn’t the old bastard take his dying routine on the road? A media blitz. The Sunday morning talks shows.

“I’m dying! Look at Me!”

This being the case, President Trump is correct in keeping silent. All these other morons are just sucking up to this dog and pony show.

Just die already McCain. Then the Trump White House will issue a polite press release expressing sympathy, thoughts and prayers and all that baloney.

McCain already said he didn’t want Trump at funeral. Why should Trump say anything, he will just get blasted by McCain.

Hopefully the Navy is building garbage scows or target barges so they can name one after him. The current USS John S. McCain is in honor of his father and grandfather, not him.
