Washington Mourned John McCain. President Trump Played Golf.
NY Times ^ | Sept. 1, 2018 | Katie Rogers

For the clusters of onlookers, besuited power players and three former presidents who had all traveled to Washington National Cathedral, the muggy day was a historic opportunity to memorialize the life of Senator John McCain, who was remembered as a deeply patriotic war hero, a former Republican presidential candidate and a scrappy, humanly flawed, ultimately idealistic lawmaker.

For President Trump, it was Saturday.

In the many discussions about how to mark his life that Mr. McCain had with his staff and family before he died, he had made clear he did not want Mr. Trump to participate in anything they planned. So as Mr. McCain was eulogized in the presence of much of the American political establishment, Mr. Trump, pointedly uninvited, engaged in what by now is a familiar weekend routine. He sent a series of angry tweets aimed at some political adversaries, then left the White House to play a round of golf at his resort in Virginia.

Why would President Trump attend a corrupt, evil Deep Stater leftist funerally bash ?

"I am a VietNam vet and do not consider McCain a war hero."

You are not the first or only Vietnam War Veteran I have heard who conveyed those sentiments about the late Senior Senator from Arizona.

Well, if you’re gonna be narcissistic enough to plan your services to last over the course of three months and ten states, all loaded up with passive aggressive gestures and completely inauthentic “friends” as “mourners” - then I think your enemy deserves a little get away golf time.

PS - McCain, B-HO still doesn’t give a sht about you.

Where is the story that when PDT was preparing for his presidency etc, one J McCain was plotting to undermine the results of the election by pushing the ‘dossier’ that was - in fact - a lie.

Inre the ‘Russian collusion’ the story was made even stranger because HRC ‘won’ the popular vote so I guess the ‘plot’ was to make sure SHE won enough votes in the correct places so as to be offset by the places that she didn’t desire to attend during the campaign.

Mighty elaborate plan there....

They simply don’t like it that he doesn’t sit down, shut up, and take their ridicule like a little pussy - like every other damned Republican President or candidate in the past. No, they don’t like it at all. That’s why he lives in their rotted brains rent free.

When was the last time the Slimes got on Obama’s case when he went golfing following a tragic event? Can’t remember.

He was asked not to be at the funeral or any activities.

What was he supposed to do, sit on the timeout step?

What morons.

I missed the McCain funeral on TV. There were repeat episodes of Flipping Vegas and Cops that were more appealing.

The MSM’s created and fake adoration of Juan McShame is downright sickening. They only gave a s**t about the man when he disagreed with his own party, and especially because of his opposition to Trump. By Tuesday it’s back to pushing the Mueller investigation. McShame will be completely forgotten!

“However, since he has been a senator, he has been self centered, self aggrandizing and selfish. He has been the poster child for term limits.”

I am also a VietNam vet, and this POS disrespected and stabbed in the back the POW/Mia movement several times, simply to provide shade for the draft dodging pervert we had infesting the White House at the time.

Even though he was a vet, I have NO respect for his service, or his life for that matter.
