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.

My TV will be off for the next week. I can’t take much more of the media and their bullshit. Tuning it all out.

A golfer and his buddies were playing a big round of golf for $200.

At the eighteenth green the golfer had a ten foot putt to win the round, and the $200.

As he was lining up his putt, a funeral procession started to pass by.

The golfer set down his putter, took his hat off, placed it over his chest, and waited for the funeral procession to pass.

After it passed, he picked up his putter and returned to lining up his putt, and completed it, thus winning the game and the money.

Afterwards, one of his buddies said, “That was the most touching thing I have ever seen.

I can’t believe you stopped playing, possibly losing your concentration, to pay your respects.”

“Well,” said the golfer, “we were married for 25 years.”

Obama went to Las Vegas after Benghazi attack.

He skipped out... the media didn’t give him any trouble.. they didn’t even report he was gone.

McCain got the respect he deserved and when he is facing God I pray that he gets everything he deserves.

Remember when O’Muslim gave a “shout out” to someone at his news conference about the Army Base attack by one of his terrorist brethren? Oh he was really somber about the slain Army members. Not.

You know, I heard this funny rumor that Trump and McCain hated each other.

I know, right? Can you imagine?

Someone should tell the media about it.

I bet the wait times at the McCain Urinal are harder to predict than tee times following Trump.

Big man needs to relax—He is too busy to play games praising a man he hated—and who hated him.

I would guess that very, very few outside of MSM are weeping and pulling at their hair and donning black clothes for McCain. I would say over 90% outside of Arizona don't really care.

I guess MSM wanted him to behave like a North Korean when Dear Leader died and then trash him for being a hypocrite and worse.

As some poster noted in an earlier thread, this shows how wide the gulf in perception actually is between the media, including Fox, and the public. From all the adulation written and broadcast, you might think he was in a class with Lincoln or Pope John Paul. You might wonder how we could possibly get along without him. However, any comment section below such commentary is almost universally negative. And, they better put a fence around his tombstone for public health reasons. Once again, Trump reflects the common man far better than the chattering classes.

They complain because he’s overweight but complain when he gets some exercise.
