Trump excludes McCain in speech about defense bill in his honor

[ksoze]

President Trump touted a defense spending bill Monday named in honor of Sen. John McCain, without mentioning McCain once. Mr. Trump made the remarks at the signing of H.R. 515, the "John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019," at Fort Drum Army Base in New York.

1. Trump is a vile, petty, piece of trash

If he can take credit for something someone else did that might make him look good, he will, every time.

[Still In Wisconsin]

2. Petty little punk.

Trump didn't even serve. Bone spurs and all that. Fuck him.

[ADX]

3. He didn't want to take a chance on using McCain's name in any way that might elicit applause...

...He's a despicable cretin of the highest magnitude...

[PearliePoo2]

7. Yep, that's exactly it. Plus, besides hating McCain, it's all got to be about HIM! nt.

4. Such a thin skinned, petulant child nt

[malaise]

5. He's a no class low life-

a vile cretin

[John Fante]

6. What did he talk about then? Elton John records?

He's such an evil idiot.

8. That's so unlike trump!

[Doodley]

9. That's a surprise.

10. Last week I stopped in a coffee shop and two guys were talking about Trump

one a Democrat and the other a Republican. The Republican was bragging about how Trump had turned the economy around. The other Democrat said that Trump had inherited the longest bull market in history. I said that of course the economy had picked up some but the deficit had now jumped to over $1 trillion again to give billionaires a handout. Then the Republican starts talking about how we didn't have to worry about Noeth Korea anymore and so on. But I mentioned how Trump had said John McCain wasn't a hero because he got captured and that was when he got pissed and said you are a liberal and refused to talk to either us anymore. On leaving I said bone spurs couldn't carry John McCain's jock strap.

13. I wish I could have heard you. I admire those of us who speak up and don't let the fools

control the conversation.

Of course they have to control it because rational discussion is not in their playbook or genetics.

[doc03]

19. It is amazing how they can hate a fellow Republican that is an

American hero when he disagrees with Trump. I even heard a Catholic call the Pope a SOB when he disagreed with Trump.
I am not Catholic and I wouldn't call the Pope an SOB if he disagreed with a Democrat. We had a decent civil conversation until
I commented on what Trump said about McCain.

[budkin]

11. Because he likes people who weren't captured

He really does

[erronis]

20. And does he understand that he is captured? That he has no free will? That putin and oligarchs

control him?

It'd be really fun to watch him let loose on all the shit that he has had to put up with since he signed the contract with the russians in the 1980s.

OK - that was a fantasy.

[nolabear]

12. No low too low.

Asshole.

[Rene]

14. drumpf is such a little man

[steve2470]

15. such a petty man-child he is nt

[kentuck]

16. to borrow a phrase...

What a lowlife!

[DesertRat]

17. He even omitted McCain from the bill's title

Link to tweet

No mention of John McCain by any of the speakers at Trump event to sign act named in honor of McCain.

Trump omitted McCain from the title, calling it “the national defense authorization act.”

18. That's big of him.
