John McCain, "(American Standing in World) better under Obama"

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jun/11/donald-trump-foreign-policy-approach-qatar

“What do you think the message is? The message is that America doesn’t want to lead,” McCain said, while adding of the rest of the world: “They are not sure of American leadership, whether it be in Siberia or whether it be in Antarctica.”

Based on his own words, McCain should be drafting articles of Impeachment right now.
