Trump's "the smallest man ever to occupy the presidential office...an all-star national disgrace."

Laurence Tribe today, commenting on Trump's not mentioning John McCain today during his Fort Drum speech:

Trump’s failure even to *mention* this dying military hero in the event celebrating a spending bill *named* after @SenJohnMcCain proves that Donald is the smallest man ever to occupy the presidential office. He is an all-star national disgrace.

1. If Obama had been the president who made that speech and signed the bill,

he'd have acknowledged and praised McCain, even though McCain was his rival for the presidency in 2008 and at the time criticized him pretty harshly - but Trump can't get past the fact that McCain has refused to kiss his ass like the other GOPers. Obama was and is a class act as a president and a human being; Trump, not so much.

5. So we'll said VO!!!

11. And, if he had given the same speech Spanky gave, republicans would have been apoplectic.

But, of course, Obama would not have even dreamed of behaving like that, and the republicans are scum-sucking, treasonous cowards and hypocrites for staying silent over this.

17. Any other President would have done so.

Either of the Bushes, Reagan, Carter, Clinton, Harding, Polk, etc all the way back to Washington.

Any normal human being would do so. And barring being a normal human being they would have realized that it was just politically better for them to do so.

18. Indeed. But I used Obama as the example of how far the presidency has fallen

in such a short time. From the sublime to the ridiculous...

[whopis01]

20. I wasn't trying to take away from your point.

I get what you were saying and agree with it.

I was just adding that Trump not only falls far short of Obama, he falls short of every other President we have ever had.

2. Trump is a vile monster devoid of humanity.

[Frustratedlady]

3. Every once in a while, I take the luxury of hoping that once a person dies, they have the privilege

of coming back and blessing someone who was particularly kind to them in life or getting payback for an especially cruel action against them for some self-satisfying or greedy reason. Free from the burden of his cancer, I have a feeling McCain could be pretty darned innovative in his choice of payback. Hopefully, he will give us a signal so we can share in his glee of a strike well done.

4. This is absolute tops, if you can call it "tops" so

Many other examples of blatant cruelty to humanity. Hitler by a thousand cuts

7. King tRumpy needs to spend more time outside

during meteorite showers. Maybe we can all get lucky.

8. He certainly is.

9. I used to think that James Polk was the smallest-minded President

Move over, Jimmy, Donnie’s taking your place.

10. Trump's making all past American presidents look better by comparison.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

13. The ghosts of Polk, James Buchanan, Millard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce,

Andrew Johnson and Warren Harding are having a spectral celebration in a White House attic. "Sure, we sucked; but this guy is way worse!"

15. The Napoleon of the stump?

What's wrong with you???

[Vogon_Glory]

16. Genuine Patriotism and a Good Education

THAT’S what’s wrong with me.

[lpbk2713]

12. No argument there.

Trump is a clumsy narcissist punk.

[Capperdan]

14. But he's still there

Disgusting piece of crap. They shouldn't play the National Anthem until he's gone.
