Can Trump get pettier?

McCain isn't laid to rest yet and Trump can't resist showing his profound insecurities and pettiness. He vetoed an official statement outlining McCain's achievements in military service and in politics. The American flag on the WH is today at full mast, no doubt an order from the orange coward himself or someone taking the initiative as they didn't want to face the rage of the manchild who takes exception to someone else (even dead men) being the focus of attention for a few days. My initial reaction was anger, but that quickly turned to pity. Pity for the deluded souls who still believe Trump walks on water. Shame on you.

He vetoed an "official statement"?

Just think about that for a minute or two. I don't really know how that works, but it sure sounds bizarre, even for the Trump White House.

Was there some spending attached?

SMH.

@MistyCee Not so much spending as cost. Cost to Trump's ego, and having to acknowledge the reality after saying McCain wasn't a hero because he was captured in Vietnam-which as Trump wouldn't know was the result of being shot down as he was providing ground support for troops on the ground.

@HerKing yeah. I think your talking about his refusing to issue the statement his aides had prepared, which I knew about.

Using the word veto threw me, because it sounded like he'd rejected something from Congress.

It's petty, I agree, but really, its Trump's call as to what he says as to whether he thinks service to the country or loyalty to him is more important and he seems to be pretty consistent in that regard.
