Trump already said what he thought of McCain back in 2016
McCain dying doesn’t change that

The thing is the majority of people could care less if Mcain is here or not. I imagine most people do not even know who he is.

The old fossils in Congress are devastated well at least in print, social media or tv they are all a bunch of phonies.

Hopper contends that the information McCain provided allowed the North Vietnamese to adjust their air-defenses. As result, Hopper claims, the US lost sixty percent more aircraft and in 1968, “called off the bombing of North Vietnam, because of the information McCain had given to them.””

I highly doubt this

Plans would have been changed etc etc

Kudos to him, finally someone in politics that isn’t a flaming hypocrite. He gives me every reason to love him as my President. Thank You, LORD God, for him, thank You!!!
