The family of Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) does not plan to invite President Donald Trump to the senator’s funeral when the time comes, according to a New York Times report.
McCain and Trump have long had a contentious relationship, including Trump slamming McCain and insisting he was not a war hero during his 2016 campaign.
“He’s not a war hero,” Trump said back then, referring to the former prisoner of war. “He’s a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren’t captured.”
The relationship did not get better after Trump was elected, particularly after Trump mocked McCain after he voted against a key Obamacare repeal.

I don't have to...I had to endure the alternative for 8 years!
>>And to believe I actually voted for this guy.
I honestly did vote for Palin and hoped he’d die in his first term.
Pence should carry a bottle of whiskey donated by President Trump, and pour it on McCain’s grave - after it has been filtered by Trump’s kidneys.
No sh*t. Golf 18 holes is more important than attending this POS funeral. This asshole is headed to hell anyways. I hope his eternal punishment is being tortured by the North Vietnamese every single day.
Enough with the bitter drama McCain. Just die.
We need that Senate vote.
I am confident to say that people voted for McCain BECAUSE of Palin.

Let’s just hope Trump misses his invitation sooner rather than later.
Anyone surprised? It’s who he is and who he’s always been. I am surprised the atheist is having a funeral. But I doubt God will be mentioned.
If he had not chosen Palin he would have suffered the greatest loss in history. Then he showed his thanks by backstabbing her.

John McCain confidants told White House that Trump won’t be invited to funeral: Report
Of course he does. No one is surprised are they?
Jane Fonda will be welcome, I am sure.
Telling people that they are not allowed to attend your funeral is not exactly a Christian thing to do, being that “forgiveness” is a pillar of the faith. Well, perhaps McCain is convinced he’s going to Hell?
I didn’t vote for him, I voted for Palin.
As you say.
I voted for Sarah hoping that Juan would have a chest-grabber at the Inaugural Ball
I guess he will be buried in Arlington. His Father and Grandfather would be appalled at hoe he really turned out.
Bitter, vitriolic and vengeful. Not a gentleman but an ingrate.
