Despite our differences on policy and politics, I respect Senator John McCain’s service to our country and, in his honor, have signed a proclamation to fly the flag of the United States at half-staff until the day of his interment.
I have asked Vice President Mike Pence to offer an address at the ceremony honoring Senator McCain at the United States Capitol this Friday.
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.
Finally, I have asked General John Kelly, Secretary James Mattis, and Ambassador John Bolton to represent my Administration at his services.
What ever.
Why are we celebrating the racist (according to Dems 10 years ago) McCain?
Grifter even in death...
-sigh-
Apparently there is no shortage of McCain Love among the current and recently appointed DoD Top Brass.
He lost Fox News support, hence this half measure.
Trump is a class act.
Take the high road.

Don’t take the bait, Mr. President. Nobody gives a s**t about John McCain. They’re just trying to make you look bad. You’ve said all you need to say.
Too bad he caved
He should have said this upfront then.
Now it just looks like he caved.
Not good.
I think this statement makes McCain look petty, even after his death, and makes Trump look classy.
President Trump has the power to do this. Something GOP Presidential candidate McCain was never able to accomplish. May McCain rest is peace.
We must brace ourselves, folks.
Looks like it’s gong to be a week or more paying tribute to and saying goodbye to McCain!
When has he ever had Fox News support?
Of course Cnn had been complaining all day about Trump not making a statement .....now it is full on attack on his statement.
Hang in there Trump.
This 24/7 McCain worship will be over in 5 or 6 more days.
He is dead and he isn’t coming back.
And thanks for the new trade deal with Mexico.
MAGA
