Well, once again, Donald Trump demonstrated his real character—that of a petty, vindictive and thin-skinned bully. Upon John McCain’s passing, Mr. Trump didn’t acknowledge the accomplishments of Sen. McCain, a true American patriot who served our country in war and in peace. Instead, Mr. Trump ordered the White House flag to be returned to full-staff, while others in Washington and around the country remained at half-staff in honor of this true patriot. Then he issued a lame statement to Sen. McCain’s family, without mentioning Mr. McCain.
Finally, as is the case with most bullies when challenged, he bowed to political pressure, ordered the flag to be re-lowered to half-staff and made a passing comment about Mr. McCain.
I guess that’s the best he—who received five draft deferments—has. How can anyone who loves this country, especially veterans, support this small, weak man?
