With Senator John McCain's recent passing, the Trump-McCain feud has heated up. It's really a manufactured kerfuffle, as one party is saying little, and the other party has departed from the living, no longer able to participate in the feud, except posthumously via the media.
Leave it to the media to resurrect the controversy between the late senator and the U.S. president as a means of bashing President Trump, whom the media detest. It is also a distraction from the stock market breaking records left and right, a new and better trade deal with Mexico, a country that the media constantly tell us hates Trump and won't do business with him, Bruce Ohr's congressional testimony, and other news the media would prefer to ignore.
Trump has been criticized over the past four days for his response to Senator McCain's passing. He wasn't personal enough, they say, even though the president appropriately tweeted, "My deepest sympathies and respect go out to the family of Senator John McCain. Our hearts and prayers are with you!"
Then the media fussed and pouted over how long the flag over the White House should be flown at half-mast. The flag flew that way appropriately after McCain's death, but the time period wasn't enough. CNN probably wants it at half-mast permanently until Trump is out of office, although another six and a half more years at half-mast might be a bit excessive.

Andrea Mitchell is an idiot. I despise her for lying and trying to cover up the fact that Trump was indeed “wire tapped.” Did she ever admit that she was wrong? I don’t think so.
That makes her a political hack. Idiot is too nice a term for her.
Go away Andrea! The only reason the DemocRAT left is making a big deal out of McCain’s passing is because he did not like Trump — otherwise, there would be none of this stupid tripe.
Go away Andrea!
Trump should have replied to the half-staff flag fiasco with a copy of the rules and regulations for flying a flag at half mast.
Unlike Odumbass who flew it at half-staff for entertainers Trump was following the rules.
Trump didn’t give phony data about McCain to the FBI. McCain did that.
McCain SHOULD HAVE been pissed at the people who gave him the phony dossier and got him to give it to the FBI, making him part of their plot.
But he wasn’t even annoyed at them.
So, he must have agreed with it OR been a part of it.
Same with hilLIARy,... she does not seem to mind that she paid $12 million for false data - Or was it actually her idea to MANUFACTURE dirt?
Heroic action in battle and successful military missions result in Silver and Bronze Stars, occasionally a CMH, military parades and ceremonies celebrating victory.
POW status is NOT HERO status.
The late Sen McCain was in constant Irritation Mood. He forgot that Donald J Trump was his own man and didn’t need to be approved by Sen McCain. Really ticked Sen McCain off and his rage pretty much took over from there.
I think what started this...started in July 2015 in Iowa when Trump made the one line comment that being a POW doesn’t mean you are a hero. From that point on, I think McCain was set to be anti-Trump. Add on the fact that McCain was never a GOP guy....he was a uni-party guy. He couldn’t understand the public fascination with Trump.
Would be funny if trump walked in while pence is speaking and took over for him
And President Trump sent AF2 to Phoenix to pick up his worthless corpse and authorized the military honors for the Capitol and burial at Naval Academy. He has gone way beyond what he needed to do.
The media lives McShamey when it suits them
In McShamey’s own book he admitted he received better treatment than others plus he admitted to making a taped confession
Others said he sang loud and long
Perhaps this disdain for “us” goes back to his “wacko birds” comment about Rand Paul & Ted Cruz in 2013. The Senators for all intensive purpose play to the “same base” that Sarah Palin brought too him, all 13 million of us who darned near saved his political backside and made in POTUS, had he listened to her and her desire to fight for MI and other Blue Collar States, their would have been more. I wonder how far back his disparaging comments go in terms of making fun of “us”, if it goes back to before 2008 and if it was in his heart, than he played us and Sarah...
The feud started the minute Trump stated that he sided with the citizens and the rule of law and intended to enforce the laws and borders.
Erasing them has been McCain’s life work.
Fraudulently documented foreigners are the means to get to the New World Order.
Americans wouldn’t vote for it, so they are importing people who will.
So who started the feud?

rules and regulations for flying a flag at half mast.
Sec, M
....and on the day of death and the following day for a Member of Congress.....
And of course Silver Stars don't have a “V” as they is what they are awarded.
I find this McCain crap at the capitol nauseating. McCain started the feud with Trump by never accepting DJT.
