The flag at the White House is at full staff today out of spite. If there was ever a doubt that President Trump is a petulant little boy it has been answered today.

Trump has sympathized for the families loss. That is all enemies are afforded.
"Enemies"? That idea is particularly bizarre.

Personally, one who finishes LAST in his class should NOT be allowed to be buried here.

He was only allowed to stay because his father was an Admiral.

The same with his being able to keep flying with his terrible flying record.
He did not finish last. Besides, do you ask your Doctor where he/she graduated in their class? No, you don't, you just care that they did.

The flag shall be flown at half-staff on Peace Officers Memorial Day, unless that day is also Armed Forces Day.

Just because the swamp creatures can't obey the rules doesn't mean Trump should follow suit.

Almost last.

After high school, McCain was accepted to the United States Naval Academy, though he was not a strong student. He was often disciplined for misbehavior and ultimately graduated 894 of 899 of the class of 1958.

It’s incredible. To fly the flag at full staff like this is glaring and incredibly childish. Is it to distract from Cohen and Manafort? It says something when Vietnam is more respectful than the White House.

yes he was and why I'll never know, could never get past that, as well as his affiliation with the Keating five.

White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, and other senior aides urged Donald Trump to release an official statement on John McCain, praising him for his service to America. DONALD TRUMP DECLINED.

What a petty, insecure, disgusting little man with tiny hands.


"President Trump decided against releasing an official White House statement on Sen. John McCain following his death, two administration sources confirmed to Fox News. The statement would have praised him for his decades of service and his heroism as a Vietnam War POW. White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, Press Secretary Sarah Sanders and other senior aides all had pushed for such a statement, which would have called McCain a “hero.”
The president, however, rejected the statement and instead issued a brief tweet Saturday night following the legendary Arizona Republican senator’s death. "
