John McCain is finally getting his due respect from President Trump -- his body is being flown to Washington D.C. on an aircraft that had to be approved by POTUS.
The late Arizona senator's casket was loaded onto one of the jets known as Air Force 2 -- which is often designated for the VP or First Lady's travel. As you know, 45 will not be attending McCain's service in D.C. ... reportedly because McCain wanted it that way.
Still, Trump announced earlier this week he had greenlit military transport for McCain, saying, "At the request of the McCain family, I have also authorized military transportation of Senator McCain’s remains from Arizona to Washington, D.C., military pallbearers and band support, and a horse and caisson transport during the service at the United States Naval Academy."
Prior to the statement, Trump was being incredibly stubborn on publicly speaking about McCain's passing ... refusing to answer questions about the Senator, and even briefly returning the White House flag to full-staff. It was eventually lowered back to half-staff.

What a horrible crash. What are the details of that tragedy? Or is it a scene from a movie?
>>PRESIDENT Trump carried himself with dignity while two high-profile funerals took place, McCain’s and Aretha Franklin’s, that devolved into a swamp of Trump-bashing. Everyone involved ought to be ashamed (I won’t blame Aretha Franklin, however. Unlike the Senator, she didn’t actually sit down and plan her funeral to be an unhinged, spittle-drenched hate-fest).<<
Well and truly said!
>> McCain was a small man. Petty, vindictive, mean. Like Hillary he blamed everyone for his defeat except himself.<<
McShame, Kerry, and Shrillery: three peas in a pod.
Agreed, but that works only with a normal corpse. Here we are talking about maverick McCain’s corpse.
>>They should take him back to AZ with them MD has enough liberals.<<
Including our RINO Governor.
>I would have authorized an old mule...
I don’t think Pelosi could carry him that far.
CNN is making it a series.
The Trump bashing at the maverick’s funeral did not bother me one bit.
Because consider the source!
1. Bush-43 : arguably engineered the 2nd worst foreign policy blunder in US history by invading Iraq, which cost $7 Trillion in middle-east wars so far in addition to blood spilled and injured soldiers. ISIS was impossible under Saddam. Now Iran controls Iraq.
2. Barack Hussein Obama : gave us the worst economy with lowest GDP gains under any president in a century, doubled the national debt, and foisted Obamacare on the country.
3. The Clintons : not enough space here to list their corruption.
4. Democrat senators : can not get over defeat of Hillary by Trump.
!
Perfection.
Here is a partial list of the political leaders invented by the globalist media:
— patriot and maverick John McCain
— dignified John Kerry
— empathetic Bill Clinton
— competent Hillary Clinton
— brilliant Barack Obama
— affable George Bush
— charismatic Justin Trudeau
— forceful Angela Merkel
None of these people actually exists. The names are correct but the image is entirely contrived.
The same can be said of tyrant Donald Trump, bigot Mike Pence and fascist Orban ... none of them exist either.
Cunning Putin, well maybe he exists.

I would have authorized a prop cargo plane.
To save money to the taxpayer I would have had him shipped UPS Ground, not insured.

“CJ Pearson
At most funerals I’ve attended it’s God’s love that fills the room not hate and animus for a person who is not even in attendance.
Disappointed”
I think they talked about Trump more than they did McLame.
“...t’s God’s love that fills the room not hate and animus for a person who is not even in attendance...”
The man lived his life trying to get even and stick it to everyone he had a disagreement with, instead of using his position to do the right thing.
What’s surprising is that there isn’t MORE “animus” towards him.
Good God, have they STILL not buried him??
