John McCain is an American hero & one of the bravest fighters I've ever known. Cancer doesn't know what it's up against. Give it hell, John.

(6,839 posts)It doesn't sound hopeful, but maybe McCain can beat the odds and pull through.

(38,471 posts)at Trump's expense, since he's offered neither sympathy nor condolences.

(6,926 posts)I notice it more. I realize a limited vocabulary combined with loving to hear your own voice gets repetitive, but it sounds worse to me.

His appearance
His mannerisms (raising the hands up and down when he talks)
Plus his voice

I hope John makes a speedy recovery.

(43,173 posts)He's petty and holds a grudge.
McCain waivered on his campaign, was highly critical of him at various times and ultimately was responsible for the Steele Dossier being turned over.
He might not go beyond the generic written statement his office put out.

(2,760 posts)but don't promote falsehoods. Obama was the first to make a statement, but Trump made a statement as well. I am in France reading it on French news, so I find it hard to believe you can't find it in the US.
"Donald Trump, avec qui les relations étaient tendues, a dans un communiqué déclaré que le sénateur avait "toujours été un combattant".
"Melania et moi envoyons nos pensées et prières au sénateur McCain, à Cindy et toute sa famille. Remettez-vous vite", a-t-il dit."
qanda
(10,422 posts)He's quick to tweet about any and everything. You hear that kind of news and you stop everything to be one of the first to say something. When I was on Twitter last night, I saw four statements in a row from Obama, Hillary, Bill and Ana Navarro. I went to see if Trump had said anything yet and he hadn't. So, we don't need to know that you oppose Trump, but we also don't need a lecture about something that hadn't happened yet. People aren't fortune tellers.

(20,135 posts)That's Trump's tweet.
And I don't believe for a second that he actually wrote it. Compare that to one of his other tweets:

I'll be sure to double-check everything I post about him from now on so as not to promote any lies about him.

(45,427 posts)Nobody deserves cancer. It would be great if all Americans could get the same medical care a US Senator is getting regardless of ability to pay.
mdbl
(4,973 posts)at least John McCain has excellent health insurance which gives him and his family the ability to deal with his condition and not the medical bills. Very few other Repugs deserve that kind of piece of mind since they are willing to rip it away from millions.

Maybe god is trying to tell him something.
