Trump the pariah to sit and sulk as Washington pays its respects to McCain


This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 79%. (I'm a bot)Donald Trump's absence - perhaps at the White House, maybe even on the golf course - will not only underscore the antipathy between him and McCain, who made clear he did not want Trump at his funeral.According to the Washington Post, which dubbed Trump "President non grata", White House aides had written a statement that honoured McCain's service as a prisoner of war in Vietnam and his long career on Capitol Hill and described him as a "Hero" - only for Trump to veto it in favour of the 21-word tweet.McCain is a national hero in the national cathedral and Trump will be sitting fuming in the White House.Former president Jimmy Carter told Fox News Trump "Made a mistake" with the tweet that made no mention of McCain's military and political service, adding on the MSNBC that the subsequent official statement was "Still not as enthusiastic as it should be".Trump acknowledged McCain in public remarks that night.Quinn commented: "This is going to be much worse. McCain is a national hero in the national cathedral and Trump will be sitting fuming in the White House. Saturday is going to be a very bad day for Donald Trump."Summary Source | FAQ | Feedback | Top keywords: Trump#1 McCain#2 President#3 National#4 Washington#5Post found in /r/politics, /r/RedditSample, /r/AutoNewspaper, /r/TheColorIsBlue and /r/GUARDIANauto.NOTICE: This thread is for discussing the submission topic.
