Trump blasts McCain, bemoans not getting 'thank you' for funeral
By Brett Samuels - 03/20/19 03:48 PM EDT

President Trump on Wednesday unleashed fresh criticism of John McCain, attacking the late GOP senator for his connection to a dossier of claims about the president and Russia, his vote against a Republican effort to repeal ObamaCare and his support for the Iraq War.

Trump spent five full minutes jabbing at McCain during an official White House event intended to highlight manufacturing in Ohio. The barbs marked the fourth time in the last five days that Trump has criticized McCain, who succumbed to brain cancer last August.

"I gave him the kind of funeral that he wanted, which as president I had to approve. I don’t care about this, I didn't get a thank you. That's OK," Trump told workers at a tank factory in Lima, Ohio.

"We sent him on the way, but I wasn’t a fan of John McCain."

Cyber, you and I are friends; I would never say anything unkind to you.  We have a difference of opinion regarding Trump's attack on deceased McCain.  This time, Trump is taking credit for giving McCain a funeral - like, "If not for me, McCain's body would still be dead at his house."  That is the inference of saying, "'I'" gave him the kind of funeral he wanted."  AND, "I didn't get a thank you."  That is an effort to show Trump was the "bigly boss" and he "let" McCain have a funeral.  I had tears over this one - how dare Trump try to follow McCain into his grave as though McCain wouldn't be in that grave except that Trump "let him have it".

Donald Trump dispatched Air Force One to shuttle the McCain family to his State Funeral in Arlington.  That is what he received less than zero thanks for, but rather a never-ending stream of insults starting the moment the ingrates stepped off the plane.  Yes, we will always have differences about the late Senior Senator from AZ.  I had the pleasure of dealing with this teeny tiny little man for the better part of 40 years, so my opinion of him and his trashy little family is not going to change in any lifetime soon.

Let's just say I feel the same way about McStain that you feel about Donald Trump and leave it at that.

       I was recently reading Macbeth with some high school kids and we were struck by how much President Trump lacks what the Bard refers to as "king-becoming graces:"

"But I have none. The king-becoming graces,
As justice, verity, temperance, stableness,
Bounty, perseverance, mercy, lowliness,
Devotion, patience, courage, fortitude,
I have no relish of them..."

       I don't know how I could endeavor to support such a man and still look my son in the eye, when I have spent countless hours imparting to him that character matters. If I'm going to sell myself that cheap, I might as well put on some biker shorts and peddle my ass down on the corner.

Something is definitely wrong with this man.

Yes there is.  I'm glad God finally pried his clinging fingers from power and called him home to face the music.

Oh wait..that wasn't what you meant, is it?

Instead of the news focusing on what he said about American industry, trade terrifs and a General Motors plant that is closing, now they will zero in on  his hatred for McCain.

Nothing is wrong with the man.  He is speaking the truth and you certainly can't blame him for the MSM ignoring his accomplishments and focusing on the RINO that just passed. 

Wait till the documentaries come out and he's painted as less than a hero.

I had a lot of problems with McCain as a person, Senator, and presidential candidate. However, the man was elected 6 times by the AZ voters. McCain beat his 2016 opponent by 13 points. Trump won the state by 4 points. This is the kind of dumbassery that makes a red state blue, next year.

Exactly. Comments like this does Trump no favors, but what's worse is the impression it gives of the Party he represents.

McCain was popular in AZ ... not so sure of his popularity beyond that.  He carried a tremendous amount of baggage and I think many just might think that Trump is justified.

Say whatever you want about his politics; John McCain was an honorable man. I'm disappointed by how some regard him posthumously just because he wasn't as hard right as some would have liked.

The same BS stinking pile of lies they failed to sale about his military service and time as a POW during his campaign for President. He served Honorably and God bless him for that. Was he a solid conservative, Hell no and he had me fuming several times by the sides on issues he took, but let the man rest in peace instead of making a public hero out of his truly left of center daughter.

He was more left than even moderate.  He did some things that really hurt this country.  The fact that he refused to step down when he knew full well that he had an very aggressive terminal cancer was par for his behavior of arrogance.

What he did with the dossier was an attempt to smear Trump and elevate Clinton.  Quite frankly, I see that as despicable, again on par for his behavior.

It is unfortunate that what he did prior to his death is still havin an affect on this country and is in the news; pretty difficult to ignore.

I think Trump's mannerisms deeply offended him. He thought he was doing the right thing. I think God will forgive him for that, so we should too.

I don't really care what McCain thought of Trump. he had absolutely NO business trying to smear him.  That's seems to be forgiven, how about forgiving this President for pushing back against someone who tried to smear him and take him down??  He's a sitting President who is now dealing with the fallout from the liberalism of J. McCain.
