Donald Trump at golf club as John McCain family honors late senator at National Cathedral

Source: USA Today

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump went about his day like any other Saturday – tweets and time at his golf club in Virginia, as John McCain was honored at the National Cathedral.

Trump got into his motorcade and left the White House around 10:30 a.m., wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and white MAGA hat. He arrived at Trump National Golf Club in Loudoun County, Virginia.

Trump had no public events on his schedule, but he began the day with a series of tweets criticizing the Department of Justice and the FBI and threatening Canada.

"There is no political necessity to keep Canada in the new NAFTA deal. If we don’t make a fair deal for the U.S. after decades of abuse, Canada will be out."

me. I have run out of English profanity and use Italian, French and German profanity now too since the fucking moron came to DC. I keep hoping that McCain has some clout and can make Karma happen to the narcissistic sociopath and the sooner the better.

sad.

Also squandering about another $3 million of our hard-earned tax dollars to pamper himself with his luxury, gourmet, golden, glorious, super-expensive golf goof-off.

Tragic. Where is Orson Welles now that we really need him?

If I were to comment with my feelings about Trump, I'd be banned from DU, disconnected by my ISP, and arrested.

So I'll stand silent.

Some of these paid tribute to McCain which also, without naming who, were not nice to Trump.

Color me SHOCKED.

Seriously, it's too bad he can't be a big enough person to expose himself to something other than the voices in his own decaying head.

He'll never be lauded the way McCain was today, or for the past five days.

Bury him at one of his golf clubs. Maybe near a sand trap and stick an engraved golf club as his tombstone.

USA Today is still the paper of record in the heartland. Comparing a real hero and patriot like McCain to a cowardly loser like Trump will deal his ego a heavy blow. Eat it, Chump.
