U.S. Senator John McCain rebukes President Donald Trump in a new memoir, accusing his fellow Republican of failing to uphold U.S. values by showering praise on international “tyrants,” discrediting the media, ignoring human rights and demeaning refugees.
“Flattery secures his friendship, criticism his enmity,” wrote McCain in The Restless Wave, which he co-authored with longtime aide Mark Salter.
“It is hard to know what to expect from President Trump, what’s a pose, what’s legitimate,” McCain said in the book that is due to be released on May 22. An advance copy was sent to Reuters by publisher Simon & Schuster.
McCain, the 2008 Republican presidential nominee, remains one of the strongest voices in his party on foreign policy, despite a battle with brain cancer. He has been credited with championing civility and compromise in Congress during an era of acrid partisanship in U.S. politics.
The 81-year-old Arizona lawmaker, who has served in the Senate since 1987, has also been both a critic and target of Trump, who during his 2016 presidential campaign disparaged McCain’s war record by saying he was not a hero after enduring 5-1/2 years as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam....

They will bury this loser freak ‘ s remains in an unmarked grave. If they don’t, their will be the first urine flood ever.
Will Rogers never met John McCain.
Remind me again. Is McCain the one who promised repeatedly to defeat Obamacare, and when the time came he made a big show of saving Obamacare? Is he the one who rolled over for Obama in 2008?
+1
Not dead yet..............
This backstabbing rat b@#tard can’t die soon enough.
I do wonder if McTraitor knows how much the voters despise him.
:)
It will be interesting to see if McCain can still control the Armed Services Committee from beyond the grave.
Not sure if he added that rider in his contract with Satan.
When is the last time McCain has been heard in public? This narcissistic asshole has been brain dead for months. Whoever is “ghost” writing this is screwing Trump.
Oh, and let me continue on.
The fact that this SOB hasn’t resigned yet so that his constituents can be properly represented is due to:
A: He’s brain dead.
B: He’s a narcissistic asshole.
C: Both.
I thought McCain is pushing daisies??
die! already
father knew both the father and grandfather of mccain (the admirals)-and said neither one served their son/grandson well by raising him as an entitled brat. His USNA record shows this— and shows that, like medical school, what does one call the nearly last in class....”Sir, Yes Sir” apparently.
It is unfortunate he was shot down, and the record of his Hanoi Hilton behaviour is what it is. Many here would maintain that he was taken to Moscow and brainwashed, so many of his actions seem to jibe with leftist democrats who have always been in the Soviet sphere.
What is more important is what he did with Lincoln Savings— the bankster crooks who got him out of it and the fact from there forward he has been a false republican, selective conservative and owned by both the leftist laborite/socialist wing and at the same time the M/I complex Involving us in deep military long term expenditures of lives, and hardware, providing himself as some kind of “expert” when he is certainly not, and the Beltway Bandits who perpetuate his memory and reign need to be exposed - prime vendor contractors of govt. waste. His actions in the gun running/Benghazi payoff clintonite charade and the “moderate” (taliban) ISIS support in yet another “civil” war between clients of Syria was a disaster. He has to answer for the soldiers we have lost because of it, and their families. As of course, does hitlery and billery and the entire cabal.
Just..... go, McCain. You have accomplished very little and your legacy will be even less. Whoever “wrote” this book.... name the ghost writer. And follow them into the mist.
Restless wave. More like a duplicitous middle finger.
One idea: "His heart was so big that he never ceased to care about what other people thought of him ..... Media People, that is".
I think that sums up the rationale for most of his actions over the decades, but there are probably other 1-liners that are much better.
McCain who? Who is this know nothing RINO person you speak of?
