President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

I'd drop $20 in the "he didn't write that" sweepstakes

 

No way in fucking hell he wrote that. Or he grit his teeth when he hit "tweet."

 

Next-level political maneuvering from Schumer, who says he'll introduce legislation to rename the Russell Senate Office Building in memory of McCain. It will be interesting when Trumpists reject the renaming of a building from a nominal Democrat/modern Trupist, racist bastard to a republican. The truth is that Trumpists will revere Russell when they hear he teamed up with Strom Thurmond to write the Southern Manifesto and lead a boycott of the 1964 Democratic National Convention.
Amazing world we live in. Democrats have a far more favorable view of McCain than Trumpists do. Trumpists hear their boy disparage McCain's military service, and they're all in. Pathetic people.
Poll: McCain favored more by Dem voters than GOP in Arizona

 

I think there are a lot of people -- many of them Democrats -- who would have voted for McCain had he picked just about anyone else but Palin as VP. The contempt that people from his own part have shown him the past couple of years is truly shameful

 

Nah - he faced a really cruddy hand with what W. dealt him. I'm glad he got the nomination, but even if he got his choice of Lieberman, it wasn't going to happen.
It's funny though. Republicans are down on him because of those few votes where he went against the GOP. The Dems praise him for those few votes.

 

Or a syllable of praise for the man, just sympathies for a family. Never let it be said that trump couldn’t do the least he could do.

 

To be fair, the least President Trump could have done was nothing and any praise he offered would have been viewed as bullshit. This is a rare occasion that I actually think he handled the situation properly.

 

Trump should enjoy the break from the focus being on him for a day or two. But I think he's probably upset about it.

 

McCain has been on his deathbed for 36 hours, and the White House can't come up with more than two sentences?

Hell, even the Arizona Coyotes' PR intern managed to produce a paragraph:

 

When told of McCain’s death I am positive that trump’s response was a single word: ‘Good’

 

One of the Trumpist candidates for the other seat in AZ theorized via proxy on Facebook that McCain made the announcement yesterday in order to take attention away from the bus tour. You know, the one with the Pizzagate guy on it.

 

The fact that we're surprised that Trump actually sent out a tweet of condolence says it all about this president.
