President Donald Trump made a rare appearance at a church last Sunday. It’s a safe bet the sermon was not based on Proverbs 15:1—”A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.” If it was, it didn’t appear to have much effect.
Before and after church, the president engaged in a tweet storm that insulted several people, including the late Sen. John McCain.
Trump accuses McCain of being complicit in the leak of the Steele dossier, a private intelligence report compiled by former MI6 officer Christopher Steele for the political research firm Fusion GPS, which, among other things, alleges that in Moscow Donald Trump booked ” … the presidential suite of the Ritz Carlton Hotel, where he knew President and Michelle Obama (whom he hated) had stayed on one of their official trips to Russia,” and, while in the company of prostitutes, defiled the bed.
According to Newsweek, ” … major parts of the dossier have been verified by subsequent investigations into Russian election meddling.” Trump’s behavior at the Ritz Carlton in Moscow, however, remains unverified.
The president referred to McCain as “last in his class at Annapolis.” This was too much for McCain’s daughter, Meghan, who said on “The View” that the president is leading “a pathetic life,” adding, “He spends his weekend obsessing over great men, because he knows it, and I know it, and all of you know it, he will never be a great man.”
This is the problem with insults and anger. They invite similar responses. Nothing is affected by harshness, except a general degrading of the office and of the people who shoot rhetorical arrows at others.

We know Mcclame was working with the rats so you idolize him
Cal, you are dead wrong. You have to bully a bully.
Like Romney...the press still wants graceful republican losers...
I’ve waited my whole life for a president who would tell it like it is.
People who want him to act like Pipi Longstocking can eat my shorts.
Cal Thomas should report the truth, that McCain was self serving (Keating Five), dishonest, and obsessed with destroying Trump. He served his country during Vietnam, but as was pointed out many times, his mental stability was questionable. Perhaps he had a permanent case of PTSD. Trump is within his rights to speak the truth...
Ya right, like President Trump could get any complimentary press if he spoke with the kindness of angels. Screw em, Dono.
Cal should retire. Anyone who uses Newsweek as a source is demented.
Trump should live to crush his enemies, to see them driven before him and to hear the lamentations of their multi-gendered partners.
Piss off Cal! Juan McStain is, was and will always be a traitor to this nation. Period. He and his rotten family deserve everything that’s coming. They will be exposed as the scumbags they are. And quit using the Bible to make your point. It looks awful on you.
When the left decides to embrace civility and humility then we can talk. I’m gonna be waiting a loooong time for that though.
Trump? Trump’s trolling the Press. And they fall for it every time.
” Embrace Kindness, Humility?
Crappola.
These liberal slugs have been doing their best from the get go to shit on The Donald.
He needs to call a spade a spade and hit em back without going through the main stream media that will distort everything he does.
Now in 2019, turning the cheek and playing nice will only get your ass kicked. It's much better to be the one doing the ass kicking.
Amongst a whole list of other items against McCain, including sedition, dear President, please fire away at will. Only way to educate the folks!
During my time in the camps, I had gotten to know the enemies of humanity quite well. They respect the big fist and nothing else. The harder you slug them, the safer you will be.Lesson of history when it comes to dealing with the left.

Trump is kind and gentle to those who earned it and harsh with those who deserve it.
McCain was a nasty loser who was viciousto his constituents and cruel to the MaiA people. Read up on how corrupt he was about the Keating Five and understand he backstabbed everyone to survive.
The media magnified the things he says, why doesn’t anyone admonish them? They fan the flames.
Cal that would be a sign of weakness and that is why we voted all the other republicans out.
Trump didn’t bring this up, the press did. So, he answers the question.
Secondly, I don’t see him criticizing McCain personally, rather the man’s actions.
You are what you are, you’re graded on what you do or don’t do.
Trump is a straight shooter.... So, Cal Thomas and the others I guess would want Trump to do it this way:
“John McCain was a great America. He served his country as a soldier and as a Senator. I respect that, OTOH, he fell short at the very end of his life, when he sold us short on his no vote on Obamacare, and also what he tried to do with the fake dossier.”
