From Ted McLaughlin at jobsanger:
I did not always agree with the political stances taken by Senator John McCain (R-Arizona), but I respected him. He was honest, and I believe he tried to always do what he thought was best for the country — and he served heroically in our military. He deserved full honors on his passing. And I think most Americans of all political persuasions agree with that.
Unfortunately, the present occupant of our White House is a small-minded man who cannot put aside his personal grudges to honor a man who served his country. He thought he could continue to show his disrespect for Senator McCain after his death.
It was bad enough that instead of giving a tribute to the senator from his own party (as other politicians of both parties did), he did a two-sentence tweet of condolences to McCain’s family, then repeated that in an Instagram sporting his own picture (instead of McCain’s). His staff had written a tribute of McCain for Trump, but he refused to give it.
But perhaps the most disrespectful was Trump premature raising of the White House flag.
