Tuesday Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said President Donald Trump’s budget was dead on arrival.

In a statement, McCain said, “President Trump’s $603 billion defense budget request is inadequate to the challenges we face, illegal under current law, and part of an overall budget proposal that is dead on arrival in Congress.”

McCain was asked by MSNBC’s Kasie Hunt, “Can I ask you about president’s budget? Is it dead on arrival?”

He replied, “Yes. and the commitment to rebuilding the military cannot be fulfilled with this level of spending. It is $30 billion too short.”

I see he is pissed because he wants his war machine funded.

If only it had been an anti-aircraft missile instead of ground fire........................

McCain went on MSNBC? I’m shocked (not really)0

McCain is a nasty piece of business. Should have retired for the good of America 20 years ago.

Now he IMO serves Amerika.

He should shut up and learn about negotiating from Trump. You don’t do what Rs normally do

1) Start with what you want (or what you want voters to think you want)

2) Negotiate down to what Schumer/Pelosi want

The neocons want boots on the ground so their defense contractor donors stay happy supplying arms and other equipment to an American military in the field.

McCain is now Tip O’Neill. That’s what the GOPe has become.

[conservative98]

Ok then. We want the wall funded completely. Stop bs’ing around.

Trump should go back to halting all government hires to save money until the elite give in and pass a budget he can live with.

No budget, shrink government as we wait minus military.

[conservativepoet]

Senility keeps talking I see.

[A CA Guy]

I don’t like McCain, he is hiding something.

Follow his money and infuluence and find out what.

[chris37]

GOP majorities are going to be DOA in about one more year.

I sure can’t think of any reason at all to vote GOP.

[Defiant]

Definitely. That was what I thought would be necessary coming in. Find out what Democrats have on all the GOP leadership and neutralize it. I’m not sure the deep state has given Trump that information yet. With McCain, it’s affairs and corruption. With Linda, it’s his boy toys. With lots of them it is something perverted. Drain the swamp!

45 needs to demand a budget which funds the wall and fullfills the GOP agenda.

Those against that should expect to be primaried.

Maybe we can move to recall McCain.

Lynn Forester de Rothschild is on the board of directors for his foundation at ASU. And he is a ‘friend’ of Henry Kissinger.

The New World Order is strong with McCain. He is not loyal to America, or the Constitution. He part of the “Anglo-American Establishment’ Quigley wrote about.

Recall the maverick turd.
