MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
Having spent much of the day golfing, while the likes of George W. Bush and Barack Obama deftly pillared him, the former Celebrity Apprentice host finally took to social media this afternoon with an apparent swipe at an unnamed Meghan McCain:
While perhaps Trump will deny that the tweet had anything to do with the memorial that Sen. McCain made abundantly clear he was not welcome at, the digital equivalent of yelling all-caps came after the younger McCain spoke for herself, her family and many who admired her father this morning in the cathedral.
Her voice cracking and tears clear for all to see, The View co-host offered a moving eulogy to her father on Saturday and earned poignant applause from the former POTUS’ and others in the political and cultural elite at Trump’s expense.
“We gather here to mourn the passing of American greatness, the real thing, not cheap rhetoric from men who will never come near the sacrifice he gave so willingly, nor the opportunistic appropriation of those who live lives of comfort and privilege while he suffered and served,” the now-deceased Arizona Senator’s daughter said before truly launching in.
“The America of John McCain has no need to be made great again, because America was always great,” the former Fox News Channel co-host added to a very very warm and loud reception from the bipartisan crowd.
Suffering sustained backlash over the next few days in his latest of many snubs of the self-described “maverick” Senator, Trump’s White House finally put out a statement praising McCain on August 27, though it made a point to note “our differences on policy and politics.”
Flags on the Executive Mansion and other federal building were put back to half-staff for McCain until tomorrow’s private funeral at the Naval Academy with an Oval Office proclamation.
