“Tonight’s pool report: Trump responded to questions about today’s collision of the USS John S. McCain: “’That’s too bad,’ he said.” “
He’s gonna catch it for that remark. Though I suspect he said more.

Unclear whether @POTUS had been informed of missing and injured sailors when he responded. Media wasn't aware of that info at the time. "
So Trump wasn't aware of seriousness.
What would a beautiful woman want with a couple of malaccas like you?
My son, an active duty sailor, just told my wife there are 10 missing.
curious to see what both vessels track will look like.
Does this have anything to do with affirmative-action, equal -opportunity, LBBTQ political correct BS (promotions)? I bet it does. Many have said that good people will die because of PC.

Thoughts & prayers are w/ our @USNavy sailors aboard the #USSJohnSMcCain where search & rescue efforts are underway. "
Prayers for your nephew’s safety and the successful rescue of his shipmates.
This "a" is not an "o"
This "r" is not an "l"
It is tricky. BTW, the straits separating Morocco from Spain are the Straits of Gibraltar. The Straits of Malacca are famous for piracy, Muslims from Indonesia attacking shipping out of Singapore.
Dire Straights indeed.
Amen
John McCain, da Turd
