WASHINGTON — Picking on a dead man seems like the ultimate bully move.

But president Donald Trump continues to trash the late Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., all the same.

"I was never a fan of John McCain, and I never will be," Trump said at the White House on Tuesday, showing that his grudges don't stop at the graveyard's edge.

That followed a weekend Twitter tirade in which Trump identified "stains" on McCain's record that included his vote against repealing Obamacare and his role in forwarding a dossier on Trump to the FBI, which the president inaccurately said had happened before Election Day.

It's hardly a secret that Trump hated McCain, who was a frequent target of his barbs on the campaign trail. But McCain, a former prisoner of war and the 2008 Republican nominee for president, is no longer in a position to defend himself.

That hasn't stopped Trump from treating him like a foil in an ongoing celebrity feud.


It's a one-sided fight, and one that has little obvious upside for Trump, who .......................................................

It's possible, though, that he could alienate Republicans who are fans of his policies but either remain respectful of McCain's service to his country or simply find the specter of publicly bashing a deceased rival to be beneath the dignity of the presidency.

laughing . . .

2. I'd say it's the ultimate dick move,

but I guess they didn’t want to say that in the article. Pretty disgusting, but the bar has fallen so far now that a salamander would have trouble slithering under it.

5. Not only was Trump too cowardly

To do any military service for this country, with his 5 deferments, the reason we have him is because of cowardice, his own grandfather was thrown out of his country for that reason and that is why he came here as an undocumented immigrant. From that time the family have always been involved in petty crime, the KKK and the NY mobs, protection rackets etc, it is all they know.
