It’s a Shame President Trump Was Excluded from McCain’s Memorial Service.

 

The McCain family reported that the late Senator did not want Donald Trump to attend his funeral service.  The President did not although his daughter Ivanka and Vice President Pence were in the invited audience.

That’s a shame.

John McCain’s memorial service highlighted his often- expressed desire to bring unity to America.  Excluding the President did not serve that objective.

On a personal level, the animosity between the two stubborn men ran deep.  Certainly Senator McCain was greatly offended by the sometimes cruel and nasty comments Donald Trump sent his way.  So McCain’s wishes were understandable.

But one might have expected that this courageous, honorable soul would let his “better nature” prevail instead of insulting the President of the United States (and unavoidably his millions of faithful supporters).  After all, he did forgive his Hanoi jailers for the torture they inflicted.
