Trump is NOT invited to McCain's funeral. What will Trump do to steal attention & make it about him?

.

Trump cannot stand when someone else is the center of attention.

He will stop at nothing to turn the lights and camera on him.


What craven thing will he do, during John McCain's funeral, to grab the spotlight?

He's going to claim he declined the invite because he didn't want to bring politics into the funeral.

He thinks that way he can save face AND get accolades for being thoughtful.

Sad part is that his cultists will dutifully parrot that like it was the gospel.

away from McCain and his family would be for him to resign, admit his guilt and be taken off to prison. That should do it.

He's going to vomit a tweet about how he declined the invitation so politics wouldn't be brought into the funeral.

His cultists will dutifully spread the word far and wide.

I wouldn't put it past him to hold a "rally/hatefest" at the same time, but I think even his staff will find a way to prevent him from doing that.

i have no idea what it will be, only that it will be incredibly stupid, flop horribly, and possibly implicate him in further crimes. what little remains of our national pride and cultural norms prevents any from accurately forecasting his majestic idiocy, but whatever he does will surely propel the country further into our home made Sargasso sea of pariah-hood.
