Trump gloated about John McCain's cancer and cruelly mocked 'donut' Meghan McCain for crying: Wolff

.

“When she hears my name she always looks like she’s going to cry. Like her father,” Trump allegedly said. He also made fun of her weight, nicknaming her “donut.”

“Very, very tough family. Boo hoo, boo hoo,” Trump added.

Wolff claims that when McCain made his tumor diagnosis public in July 2017 Trump said, “You see? You see what can happen?” He would then “mime an exploding head,” Wolff claims.

As McCain got sicker, Trump complained that he was not a “good enough sport” to quit his Senate seat and let one of Trump’s allies take it over. He also saw John McCain’s deadly brain tumor as a twisted kind of “personal validation.”

Keep defending him, and the other GOP sycophants, Meghan.

Where I live there was a bunch of old conservatives here who stood out for their vile behavior. One of them was diagnosed with cancer. Another one in his circle of fellow travelers promptly went in line to mock him for having cancer and for being to the left of Himmler.

God, or Karma, or whoever gave Sen. McCain cancer just to please Donald. That's how he processes things. No wonder he fits in so well with fundagelical magical thinkers.

Tue Jun 4, 2019, 11:17 AM
Jun 2019

how much it was making Trump crazy to see all of the people on both sides at his funeral. All of the pomp and circumstance associated with his funeral due to his status as an American hero, not just a Senator. Don't you wonder who will even go to Trump's funeral when he dies? I'm sure it will be a huge gold plated hoo hah but I can't imagine anyone other than his normal toadies like Graham, Hannity, Limbaugh and McConnel going.

I can't remember what Nixon's was like, if I remember correctly all of the form Presidents were in attendance but it was pretty low key for a former President.

Gary Busey, Jon Voight, Pants Shit Fever Nugent and so on.

Of course it probably wouldn’t be a state funeral since I doubt they’d do that for convicted felons.

she doesn't support Trump's policies across the board. Trump doesn't have "policies." He does things at critical times to divert attention or get votes.

Immigration immigration immigration is a call to arms for Trumpers. Meghan doesn't agree with the wall. Tax cuts mainly for the uber wealthy...not what Meghan pushes, altho she (and everyone else in the world) likes lower taxes.

His foreign policy- she thinks he doesn't have one.

Cozying up to dictators - not a Meghan "policy."

Alienating our allies - she doesn't support that at all.

Facts and truth are on our side. We don't need to just say things because it feels good.

which can't even be called plans, policies or positions.

That boat won't sail...claiming that a never Trumper supports Trump or the extremist reactionary things he does, like cage children, ban Muslims, increase tariffs, call people names and be disrespectful, alienate our allies, praise murderous dictators.

It's just not true, no matter how someone tries to paint that picture. She's a traditional Republican...like anti-Trump Scarborough, anti-Trump McCain.

She also is very close to her "Uncle Joe" Biden.

The "Spox" is defending a person who is the worst liar in the world. Number 1..very bad, the worst.

No one lies more or stupider than Donald Trump. Tough job for any person. Defending that kind of liar.

"Trump allegedly observed that Rudy Giuliani has ‘crazy, crazy eyes’ and ‘looks like a mental patient,” Wolff claims in his book." This is one of the few true things Trump has ever said, but Rudy is being crazy on Trump's behalf - so why would Trump insult him? Because that's just what he does?
