For the clusters of onlookers, besuited power players and three former presidents who had all traveled to Washington National Cathedral, the muggy day was a historic opportunity to memorialize the life of Senator John McCain, who was remembered as a deeply patriotic war hero, a former Republican presidential candidate and a scrappy, humanly flawed, ultimately idealistic lawmaker.
For President Trump, it was Saturday.
In the many discussions about how to mark his life that Mr. McCain had with his staff and family before he died, he had made clear he did not want Mr. Trump to participate in anything they planned. So as Mr. McCain was eulogized in the presence of much of the American political establishment, Mr. Trump, pointedly uninvited, engaged in what by now is a familiar weekend routine. He sent a series of angry tweets aimed at some political adversaries, then left the White House to play a round of golf at his resort in Virginia.

I'm surprised they actually mentioned this part. Reporter has probably been fired by now.
Washington Mourned John McCain. President Trump Played Golf.

He did? Good.
Right on schedule.
“Washington Mourned John McCain. President Trump Played Golf.”
And I had a large BM.
We all honored him in an appropriate way.
Good for Trump!
Good to hear that President Trump is getting some R&R. He has to take good care of himself.
After all, he’s almost singlehandedly taking out the entire Swamp by himself.
Trump 2020!
I am a VietNam vet and do not consider McCain a war hero. I admire that he survived prison camp although he did acquiesce to the captors. Small price to pay to stay alive.
However, since he has been a senator, he has been self centered, self aggrandizing and selfish. He has been the poster child for term limits.
Better than going to that fiasco.
Well, it wasn’t like he was invited to the funeral...any of them.
Life must go on...
*snicker*
If you listen to the MSM, everything that happens is connected to Trump, and he is always in the wrong. To me, I see no problems here. What was he supposed to do, wear sackcloth and sit in ashes?
If only Trump had had some golf balls with McKook’s photo on them. That would have triggered them.
I hope Trump had a pleasant day on the links !
Now lets turn our attention to Bob Dole.. Who has lined up at the memorial today for the millionth time to honor his friends. 95 now. He’ll be going to rest soon I feel.
Uh he was banned from the funeral what is he supposed to do?
How many times did Obammy say I or me in his ‘eulogy’ today?
Trump will be written about in history books. McCain will not. McCain died knowing that. That makes me happy!
Well, the McCain family made it very clear he was not invited. What was he supposed to do, invite Sarah Palin over for dinner? (She was disinvited too.)
