President Donald Trump will officially not be attending Sen. John McCains funeral, a spokesman for the deceased lawmaker said Monday.
McCain passed away Saturday evening after a nearly year-long fight with brain cancer. McCain passed away only one day after announcing that he was discontinuing treatment for his illness. The former senator continued to carry out his senatorial duties while undergoing treatment.
McCain previously made his funeral wishes clear to Trump months before he died. The senator and president feuded several times throughout the 2016 presidential campaign and while in office, with McCain casting the deciding vote against an Obamacare overhaul.

Announce that he's posthumously pardoning Charles Keating.
Not when said douchebag senator says no. Have Bristol Palin go.
Pres. Obama did not attend the funeral of Sen. Lautenberg. By protocol (and for security reasons), that’s the VP’s job.
FLOTUS will probably get stuck going.....
Not sure how often this happens ... that a President is expressly told NOT to come to a funeral. McCain was an irrationally bitter old man.
It’s a church service, right? Shouldn’t that be open?
Are you going to make a scene and turn away POTUS? He would show he’s the bigger man.
Your guess may be a tad low, IMO.
LOL!
You are right... I am off by 100, for got to add Senate.
I’m not sure you really understand what that term means
I found that statement that his family released about his last words were extraordinarily MEAN
What kind of a family wants their loved one remembered for saying something hateful? Which leads me to believe, it was not he who spoke those words and all the other utterances purported to come from him, actually came from his family...especially his wife.
Just my opinion
And you are right about judgment of his evil deeds will come to light and we will all know that;
PRESIDENT TRUMP DID EVERYTHING THAT WAS PROPER REGARDING A MAVERICK.
Trump has much more important things to do.
McCain was spiritually dead in some ways, and Jesus said let the dead bury the dead.
I believe Trump was officially uninvited by the host months in advance.
The dead bury the dead.
Not at all. He was specifically not invited.
The bigger man takes care of the nations business while gary hart pretends to carry a coffin.
