Do You Think the Ghost of Sen. John McCain Is Haunting the White House Given Donald Trump's Increasing More Strange Behavior?

I can’t understand why the President would, once again, disparage a man as exemplary as my friend John McCain: heroic, courageous, patriotic, honorable, self-effacing, self-sacrificing, empathetic, and driven by duty to family, country, and God.

Today, Wednesday, 3/20/2019. At a WH event in a factory in Lima Ohio:

"I gave him (McCain) the kind of funeral that he wanted, which as President I had to approve. I don't care about this, I didn't get a thank you. That's ok."

He spoke about McCain for about 5 minutes.

Trump seems to think he rules over Congress (which the the body of government that grants whether someone can "lay in state" at the Capitol) and the National Cathedral.

“All funerals and memorial services at the Cathedral are organized by the family of the deceased; only a state funeral for a former president involves consultation with government officials,” Washington National Cathedral spokesman Kevin Eckstrom said in a statement. “No funeral at the Cathedral requires the approval of the president or any other government official.”

He 'signed' a piece of paper and wanted to take credit for the entire plan for the funeral like he personally wrote every word of what was to be done, who would attend, who would speak and how many. I'm sure that he took time out of busy schedule to inspect everything down to the smallest detail to make sure it was done to his perfection. 🤦‍♂️ @beckyromero
