    Clearly, Trump shouldn't be in the job of POTUS?!! Trump is such a little man and vindictive too! We are seeing Trump's spiteful pettiness is alive well!

    The president is failing at central requirements of his job.

    Donald Trump’s petulant reaction to the death of John McCain could be analyzed only in terms of what it tells us about the president as a person. But the incident also reinforces some of the central themes of his presidency.

    Trump continues to abdicate the role of head of state. He rejected a statement drafted by his staff honoring the Arizona senator, and then had White House flags returned to full staff on Monday, instead of leaving them at half-staff as is the normal practice. Late Monday afternoon, the White House reversed course and issued a proclamation ordering government buildings and facilities to fly the flag at half-mast.

    Trump's snubs and nastiness about McCain have no impact on McCain or his legacy.. it just makes Trump look bad.

    Trump really isn't bright.

    Trump never liked McCain, McCain never liked Trump. BFD.
    Personally I never cared for McCain's politics and I was really surprised when he announce he had a terminal illness he did not step down and let the governor replace him. That said, he gave a lot to his country and I thank him for his service.
    To you lefties that suddenly pretend to be something else, you fool no one. To those that throw barbs at Trump or McCain in this particular thread, grow up or start another hate thread about Trumps ties as if you haven't enough to keep you occupied already.

    Always makes you look good when you claim a self made Billionaire is stupid Margot.

    No matter how many times you scream he had Daddy's money, Daddy never had the billions he made.

    Not all of us measure the quality of a man by the size of his wallet.

    Pretending his intelligence played no role in Trump becoming one of the richest men the world says a lot more about you than him.

    McCain said that Trump's attack on his war record didn't make him(McCain) look small, it made Trump look small, and it did....

    Uh, "self made" means one earned all that money by one's self...Trump HAD millions at birth....that is hardly the definition of "self made".

    In case you lefties hadn't noticed yet, the righties here will -never- condemn Trump.

    It will -never- happen.

    They are the definition of demagogues.

    I seem to recall plenty of leftists condemning Obama for illegally drone-killing random ass people in the middle east.

    Tell me what you've condemned Trump for, if you could.

    that 'outrage' lasted all of 20 minutes. Melania's 'I don't care' jacket got three full days.

    I'm not crazy about Trump's twitter grammar.

    The "grammar." Not the content. The grammar is of zero consequence.

    You know and I know you.

    You haven't condemned a single damned thing he's done.

    I was really hoping to see another Trump vs. McCain thread. Can we discuss the flags again because we just haven't beat that topic into the ground quite yet. :deadhorse:

    Just to be clear you are adopting the standard that “more and higher taxes, more regulations, mandated $15 minimum wage, forced union dues, ‘free’ healthcare, ‘free’ college, student loan forgiveness” equal socialism, yes?
