I have deliberately snipped quotes from "foreign" leaders, as most of them care much more about our country than the traitor masquerading as POTUS.

Godspeed, John Sidney.

1. All of them mention McCain's accomplishments and/or character. Trump does neither.

Trump just issued a generic, curt "condolences to the family" tweet. Pathetic.

4. It must really infuriate dump to hear Angela Merkel praise McCain

5. It would have been easier to say "thoughts and prayers".

2. Trump is no doubt angry that McCain was respected by other world leaders.

He nurses jealousy of other's accomplishments. That is why he hates President Obama. He knows that Obama is his intellectual and moral superior. He hated McCain for the same reason. McCain, for all is faults and political views that ran contrary to what democrats hold dear, was a decent man who loved his country and put his honor and his country before himself. McCain could also admit to his own failings and shortcomings. And Trump fairs pitifully in comparison.

3. Reaction from Donnie Two Scoops: "Womp-womp!"

From Mike Pence: "Meh!"

From Eric Trump: "Where are my building blocks?"

6. Reaction from President Putin: "Increase anti-McCain production in the St. Petersburg factory ASAP!"

"Putin is not America's friend, nor merely a competitor. Putin is America's enemy — not because we wish it so, but because he has chosen to be."

- John McCain, July 12, 2018
