One can spend several days trying not to overreact to President Trumps latest, unprovoked tweetstorm against the late Sen. John McCain R-Ariz., yet still conclude that there is something sick and twisted about Trumps obsession with the singular American hero Trump disparages.
Tom Rogan already in these pages has eloquently explained why, fake heel spurs or no fake heel spurs, Trump could never be fit to wear McCains discarded shoes. And lawyer George Conway, husband of top Trump aide Kellyanne Conway, has presented a persuasive case that Trumps fulminations about McCain and other bizarre eruptions are signs of a personality disorder.
What remains, though, is a reminder that on facts as well as fulminations, Trumps flip-out against McCain is full of falsehoods.
First, as many others have noted, Trump repeatedly accused McCain of trying to spread the so-called Steele dossier as a way to block Trumps election, but the undisputed evidence shows McCain didnt even become aware of the dossier until after Election Day. (Plus, McCain did exactly what a senator should do when provided such material: He turned it over to the FBI, without prejudice. But thats beside the point about Trumps dishonesty.)
What has not been as adequately refuted is Trumps allegation that McCain voted against a bill to repeal and replace Obamacare, and that McCains vote was a big surprise. Neither element of that story is true.
First, by the time a healthcare bill finally reached a vote in the Senate, it was in no way, shape or form a repeal and replace bill. In reality, it was a shell of a bill known as skinny repeal, which did next to nothing other than keep...

POTUS should stop attacking the Vietnam turn-coat McCain. There is nothing to gain from it.
That is true. It just does not help Trump to go on with this.
So how many Presidential election have you won?
He did not “attack.” He answered a question.
Mclame a vile pos??
The
north Vietnamese have a memorial for him!!
He can’t be that bad!
The keating 5— The U.S. lost close to $5 billion!
I am sure Juan had no idea what was going on!
And last but not least- Juan LIKED O’bummer as president!
Juan was a great senator!
This is Sarcasm —
I don’t think Pence would win.
Easy there meathead
Right. That’s the ONLY reason.
Good grief
Yes, the taxpayers are footing the bill for a hoax, but lest we forget the lives destroyed by this witch-hunt and the financial ruin of people whose only crime was associating with Trump.
And another thing, I just saw in the online news that President Trump keeps attacking George Conway. [/s] Thanks E. Pluribus Unum.

I knew it was sarcasm because if you meant it I was going to be forced to wiggle my nose and turn you into a toad.......heehee
Traitors deserve all the ridicule they get, and more.
Why you cant fall on a guy when hes on his deathbed after you guys dead and gone all bets are off
McCain was a complete piece of shiite traitor rhino bit backstab the GOP at every turn sabotage the repeal of Obamacare and Im glad hes gone
Our great and wonderful president Donald J Trump has every reason to attack this guy as the news comes out that he was personally responsible for spreading that stupid DOssier around which is the Genesis for this entire Rosenweasel Mueller witchhunt
It is now proven once and for all after two years of being a complete another fraud And since only now theyre idiots in this country are finally realizing it I think Trump has every reason to point out John McCain central role in trying to destroy him at the infancy of his presidency
Like I said you cant pick out a guy when hes on his deathbed but whats the guys dead and gone all bets are off
Sorry ... we’ve had too much experience with this being ‘above the fray’ ... and it doesn’t work.
The thing I ESPECIALLY LOVE about Trump is that he’s ready and willing to GET INTO THE FIGHT and really FIGHT about it. I just love it!
Keep it up President Trump. We’ve had no other President in my lifetime who has been SUCH A FIGHTER ... FOR AMERICA and FOR AMERICANS!
Yes...he is also using the tactic of taunting his enemies...ala Sun Tzu and all of that! We don’t know what Trump knows...maybe he’s purposely trying to smoke out one of McQueeg’s co-conspirators!
That's your argument boiled down. That Trump has no 'polish .
The trouble with spineless people like you is, for decades (probably) you complained about Republicans not standing and fighting and when we FINALLY get one that fights for YOU, you still complain.
You can keep your 'polished' politicians. They are as worthless as you are.
