Daily Mail: Donald Trump Dared to Golf 17 Hours After John McCain Died
Big Journalism ^ | 8/26/18 | Joel B Pollack

Posted on 08/26/2018 5:09:53 PM PDT by markomalley

The UK Daily Mail expressed shock and horror Sunday at the fact that President Donald Trump waited only 17 hours after the death of Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) to play a round of golf, as he typically does Sunday (and as President Barack Obama did before him).

The Daily Mail reported, with original ALL CAPS: “Donald Trump returns to the golf course just 17 HOURS after the death of John McCain as he faces criticism for failing to properly honor GOP giant’s life and legacy.”
According to the article, written by Megan Sheets, Trump was guilty of having merely posted a “meager tweet with his condolences” before returning to golf nearly a full day later.

Daily Mail, Trump can’t help McCain, since he is dead. As much as Trump is doing, he can’t raise McCain from the dead. Only OUR FATHER can do that.

The day Songbird died has much in common with that day in November, 2016, when America was reborn.

So I wonder what he shot today...

Shouldn't that be...

“...written by MeganSheets.” She must be related to Robert Sheets Byrd.

Give him a break...Golf could overcome the President’s massive grief over McCain’s official departure...

Daily Mail, this Deplorable Family went mountain biking. You know why, because McCain is still dead and I can’t revive him...

Oh, I thought since you were shoveling horse manure and cleaning poop from chicken coops, you were reading the media...😀

Sorry, horse manure and chicken poop is more beneficial than the media.

And I bet most Americans went to work and kept a normal schedule today. So what?

Ridiculous. With a country of more than 300 million, many of Trump’s fellow countrymen who didn’t take part in a treasonous attempted coup against him pass every day.

Yet there is no imperative for the president to thus never play golf.

Perhaps he made songbirdy on some of the holes. Nah, that would be a little too perfect.

"Printing McCain's face on a set of golf balls takes time."

He probably used these to do it...

Why should he not have? After McCain's death, he was feeling under par.

For sanitary reasons they should really should be installing a drain on McCain’s grave marker.

I don't understand.

Bottom line: He failed in 2008.

Unnecessarily.

A man and a friend are playing golf one day at their local golf course.

One of the guys is about to chip onto the green when he sees a long funeral procession on the road next to the course.

He stops in mid-swing, takes off his golf cap, closes his eyes, and bows down in prayer.

His friend says: “Wow, that is the most thoughtful and touching thing I have ever seen. You truly are a kind man.”
The man then “Yeah, well we were married 35 years.”

Barack Obama went back to the links after taking a minutes break to answer questions about James Foley’s brutal murder by Islamists.

Why is President Trump obligated to mourn the death of a Democrat?
