Trump jokes Sarah Huckabee Sanders is 'having a nervous breakdown' over his behavior toward John McCain after his death



President Donald Trump reportedly joked that White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was "having a nervous breakdown" as she stared at him when he refused to answer whether former Sen. John McCain would have been a better president than former President Barack Obama.

McCain, who died on Saturday, was the Republican presidential nominee in 2008. He lost the election to Obama.

"I don't want to comment on it," Trump said in response to the question, according to a Bloomberg News report published on Thursday, adding: "I have a very strong opinion."

"Maybe I'll give you that answer some day later," Trump said.

Am sick and tired of this reality shitshow

[Kber]

1. Sarah, retiring in disgrace is better than retiring in jail.

I don’t know if it’s too late to save yourself, but the situation isn’t going to get better with time.

[LiberalFighter]

35. Would prefer her in prison.

[True Dough]

2. Wow! She's finally standing up to Trump by staring at him in disbelief

over his petty stance on John McCain. The past year of spewing complete B.S. to defend Twittler and we're supposed to believe Sanders has a shred of dignity? Nah!

[forgotmylogin]

33. Giving him the ol' "smoky eye".

[Proud Liberal Dem]

3. Deplorable

I don't like SHS at all but it's pretty deplorable to be mean to somebody if they really are having a nervous breakdown.

[irresistable]

4. A shitshow with hurled feces, day and night.

[democratisphere]

5. Maybe SHS has a conscience under that cold hearted battle axe exterior.

drumpf is a true psychopath with absolutely no conscience.

[flibbitygiblets]

12. Everyone is better than Dump by comparison. SHS is an awful human being, just not as bad

Pretty low bar IMO. Hell, Ted F'ing Cruz is a better person than Dump, and his own family hates him.

[democratisphere]

13. Good point!

Matter of degrees.

[moriah]

41. As I've said, "better than Trump" is damning someone with EXTREMELY faint praise.

My ex-governor's daughter is too much a Southerner to not shield her shock at Trump doing what Just Isn't Done in this kind of situation.

Funerals are big here, the whole town may seem to be present, especially in small towns. You might go to a funeral here just to be reassured the rat bastard you hate really is dead, but you still shake hands with the family and say you're sorry for their loss, and you withhold your negative comments until after the deceased in the ground.

Now, the things said at various post-burial gatherings, away from immediate family... well, those stories can get VERY interesting. But at least they're shielded from them by dirt, which is kind of silly, but it's where we draw the line.

May not seem like such a big deal, but I can see this being what it took to shake Sarah -- she's seen a lot, but this is just Beyond The Pale for someone brought up with such traditions.

[muriel_volestrangler]

22. Maybe not a conscience so much as a bit of self-belief that she's a loyal Republican

which is why she wants what would be, under any other Republican president, the standard "McCain was a hero and served country honorably in the military and Congress" stuff. She can tell herself it's OK to be unthinkingly loyal to Trump as long as he shows the bare minimum of loyalty to the party. But over McCain, he doesn't; and what's more, he seems to enjoy the effect this has on Huckabee Sanders. Because he's a sadist, when it comes to underlings who don't have personal billions.

[democratisphere]

24. Torture is in drumpf's DNA.

Hopefully we will be rid of him soon!

[forgotmylogin]

34. Now imagine if SHS turned Omarosa-style...

She probably has maps to the buried bodies.

[democratisphere]

38. SHS may be meeting with Mueller before this is done.

Might be a good idea for SHS to go "Omarosa"!

[Docreed2003]

6. Fuck you Donald, you smug piece of shit

[catrose]

7. Not ROFLMAO

[spooky3]

8. He's a real Laff Riot. Idiot. Nt

[bucolic_frolic]

9. Losing touch with reality, or unable to discern TV and Presidential roles

Totally wrapped up in his own head in any event

[GeorgeGist]

10. So why bring it here?

[bluestarone]

11. Man the RETHUGS got the NUTJOB they wanted

That's for sure

[yallerdawg]

14. Every sycophant who bowed to this aberration...

is calculating how to best extricate themselves and salvage their future in some way.

It really does resemble Omarosa's analogy - "The frog swimming in the pot while the water heats to boiling."

[pazzyanne]

15. Run, Sarah, run!

When tRump starts "joking" like that, your days in the White House are numbered. You are smart enough to know that. Pack up and get out while you still have a little time.

[Submariner]

16. Another stupid question by the media

when he refused to answer whether former Sen. John McCain would have been a better president than former President Barack Obama

What was the point of that question? For what? Would the answer, Yes or No mean diddly squat to us, the voters? F*ck no.

The press never asks the questions we want answered. Every time a reporter has Trumps ear, he or she should be asking ""Mr. Trump, based on all the proven lies you tell the press and your followers at your MAGA rallies (insert one of many numerous examples here), it has been established that you are a pathological liar. How do you square your lying with the truth staring you and us in the face?".

Or other questions highlighting his serial lying. Call him out as a liar at every opportunity.

[Baitball Blogger]

17. Sarah Huckabee Sanders found a grain of decency. Who knew?

[CanonRay]

18. He revels in other people's pain

[peekaloo]

19. Love to see her break at a briefing.

then forcibly escorted from the podium.

[Chakaconcarne]

20. I wonder if there will be a press conference today.....

Been about a week... and the last one was full of.... "I can't comment", "we've addressed that question many times before (with non-answers)", "the president has addressed that question, I will refer you to.....", "I will refer you to the president's legal counsel"...

[Initech]

21. Trump is this guy:

[7962]

29. I loved that movie. And there are SO many bosses just like that in real life. nt

[Corgigal]

23. May need to watch his twitter feed Sarah.

The morning shot may have just been fired.

[Totally Tunsie]

36. Would that make it the "morning warning"?

[JI7]

25. i bet he has said some really fucked up things to or about her many times

[SWBTATTReg]

26. John McCain is a far better man than this guttermouth...no comparison at all...I don't give a fly...

ing hoot about rump's opinion on anything, period.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

27. Sarah, if you have even a tiny shred of a soul to save, get the hell out now.

Nobody survives the Trump White House.

[7962]

28. Well hell, his "base" should be pissed that he wouldn't say McCain would've been better than Obama!!

According to them, he was the worst president EVER

[Johnyawl]

30. What a vile snake he is...

...SHS stands at the podium everyday and debases herself defending him, lying for him and deflecting criticism and he mocks her? If she had a shred of decency and self respect, at the next press conference she would walk up to the podium, read her resignation letter, and walk out the door with her finger in the air.

smfh I do not understand that kind of raw ambition that would place a person under the thumb of such a vile creature.

[Totally Tunsie]

37. In *UCCUS's world, loyalty goes in only one direction.

*Unindicted Co-Conspirator of the United States.

[Johnyawl]

40. yup...

...just like every other tyrant

[Dave in VA]

31. The Orange Hemorrhoid Flares Again!

[Princess Turandot]

32. He attracts flies, then revels in pulling a wing off of each of them..

And he seems to enjoy it more when they have some sort of attachment to him.

[yellowcanine]

39. SHS has a pulse? Not a robot? Who knew?

Do tell.
