Trump’s Snub of McCain
The New York Times ^ | August 14, 2018 | Peter Alkalay

Posted on 08/14/2018 2:48:39 PM PDT by Trump20162020

President Trump’s refusal to mention John McCain’s name as he was pontificating about the new military spending bill for 28 minutes reveals the inner Trump in a stark way. His inability to mention the senator’s name is a sign of his immaturity, insecurity, fear of competition, vindictiveness and delusional sense of self-importance.

MnCain doesn’t mention Trump very often does he? McCain gets plenty of recognition in the media and Congress ... and he is dying. I am sure he will survive ... for a little while longer.

McCain is not President. McCain snubbed Trump on repeal of Obamacare.

That’s the least Trump could do after McCain re-shoved Obamacare up our a$$es.

The racist New York Times did not love McCain when he was the Designated Loser for the Kenyanesian Usurper.

How do you think McCain would have reacted had Donald Trump dispatched an aide to fly to England to obtain dirt on McCain from a foreign spy (supposedly retired) and then turned such dirt, which later turned out to be fake, over to the FBI?

He was a corrupt U S Senator with ties to the Keating gang.

TDS is strong with this one.

Trump not mentioning that POS McCain was a great moment.

Arizona residents on Obamcare had an 116% rate increase and McCain who for years ran on elimination of O’care and replacing it with better care system for less money, stabbed his constituents in their wallets.

McCain hurt the country “He Loves” just to defeat a Trump agenda campaign promise to get rid of O’care.

What an Asshat.
