Analysis: Waiting on Mueller, Trump fixates on another perceived enemy: John McCain

? Tips, comments, recipes -- send 'em! Thanks for waking up with us. Robert Mueller's Russia report may finally be ready,

He's lashed out at the special counsel, his senior adviser's husband and the late senator John McCain -- a frequent source of ire, from even beyond the grave. and it came amid an outpouring of statements in recent days praising McCain in the face of Trump’s attacks,” my colleagues Josh Dawsey, Ashley Parker, Felicia Sonmez and Alex HortonMcCain has been an obsession for Trump since the 2016 campaign, when Trump first stated that McCain was not a war hero. But the continued rebukes of McCain seven months after his death come against the advice of Trump's own aides.

Let the report speak for itself

Wasting his time on ghosts. What a tiny man

Respect the Departed.

Analysis? Odd new way of saying Opinion? Tabloid

You mean the guy who took the fake dossier and shopped it to a half dozen media outlets 🤔 Seems like he was actually an enemy to our Republic not just a perceived one

We need him to focus on job creation, infrastructure, and white supremacist terrorism....his focus in a dead man is odd and unseemly.

A cowardly man who has spent his privileged life protected by wealth, an army of lawyers & sycophants, and bodyguards criticizing someone who served his country. Nice.

Time for a new game? It's the TraitorTrump How Low Can He Go-game? Now that he's insulted dead war heroes, women, every minority, Democrats, Media, Comedians & now this prolonged hate-filled McCain tirade Who's next? Fredo Junior Eric 'Forrest Gums' Evita Trump & Juan Kushner

gggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggod

Like you are fixated on trying to destroy the President, WaCompost with your lies everyday all day.

نفس الفصيلة

This reminds so much of Nixon roaming around the White House at night speaking to dead Presidents, except this moron is doing it in broad daylight

Mc Cain never backed anything about Trump. Hense the left's fixation on him

Trumps typical attempt at distraction: Do something outrageous, say something ugly or controversial and divert the attention from my own ineptness and failures.

The corporate press...only principled in their hatred of Trump.

It's almost like he's mentally ill. Or something.

The exaggerated spin by the Fake News continues!

Trump is distracting from his high crimes and misdemeanors and the media has fallen for it. Again. And again.

LOL, 'Perceived.'

Distraction

It is beyond belief that he is doing this. No president, Republican or Democrat, ever obsessed over former foes like Trump does.

Perceived enemy Really This Dead man before he died colluded with the Clinton campaign and Obama's FBI, CIA, DOJ, DNI and foreign governments in a coup d'etat attempt, trying to remove our duly elected President. McCain don't get a pass from his treachery just because he's Dead

But Mamakin is a man of principle, respected and respected as an Arab The Trump Chair is like an air-powere...

The 'Us against them' mentality. 'Loyal vs Unloyal'. Thou shalt not disrespect my ignorance.

It is all a distraction..... that is what he does. Create headlines so that the real stuff isn't talked about. 'Catch and kill' Trump style

Two faces: Between honest and false Thank you and my prayers for the Canadian spirit, I was honest how much I love you ...

TrumpIsNotAboveTheLaw TrumpIsADisgrace Deflect, distract. The response of a child

He's not fixated on McCain. That's actually very amusing.

Keep going McCain, you're working wonders!

I have a feeling there might be something in the report that will justify Trump’s actions. I could be wrong, but this isn’t the first time he has been theatrical about certain issues. I wonder if the media and twitter just ignored this behavior like adults, they might just stop.

How many times did John McCain run for president ? Twice and lost badly both times. How many times did Trump run for president ? Once, and one big time. The difference 😂

Will he launch an attack on former President Bush next about HIS funeral? Where does the bottom fall?

Perceived enemy? Not only Trump’s enemy, he screwed the American people to get his revenge. Now we know as fact, he was all part of the dossier scam. Trump won’t let this go and neither will we.

The war hero passed the bullshit Steele dossier to the FBI as a pawn for the Deep State. Just because he was a hero, doesn't mean he could not be stupid as well. Trump should be pissed. realDonaldTrump

so many enemies... so little time

Saint McCain dumped his old wife for a rich younger model upon his return from Vietnam. Saint McCain screwed all Republicans on Obamacare vote. Saint McCain seditiously passed faked information about a duly elected president because of hatred. McCain is a cad and a traitor.

It’s called Deflection TrumpCrimeFamily does it well ...Jr now has a full time job deflecting via twitter

Mr. President regardless of what Senator John McCain may have done.Let him rest. What I dont understand is you complain about how the family didnt thank you for what you claim you did for the funeral but you send your family tonit.

JaxAlemany John McCain was a bad man.

Anyone who engages in a fight with the departed shouldn't be entrusted with the nuclear codes. Should he? 😲

McCain supported terrorists. It’s time this was brought to light.

John McCain, Hillary Clinton, James Comey, Jeff Sessions...ANY person that disagrees with this insecure, juvenile, narcissist is repeatedly defamed. Harboring hate and focusing on his own perceived (loser) image versus doing his job is why he is a Fake and Failing potus.

Analysis: Waiting on Mueller, remains fixated on perceived enemy: Donald Trump.

Not speaking ill of the dead Speaking truth, their living time The fact their body died Doesn't change their living crime … … …

OBSESSING OVER A DEAD SO HARD ITS DRIVING TRUMP MAD.

I still want to see Trump's tax returns!!!

I cannot believe the amount of coverage you're giving to his spat with a dead guy.

When you run out of live enemies...

Diversion, diversion, diversion - and it's working. Meanwhile, what he and the GOP are *actually* up to goes unnoticed.

Trump is encouraging his supporters to attack the grieving widow of a decorated American hero Every veteran should take note of how trump values service to the nation

“A lot of people are asking, because they love me and they ask me about a man named John McCain,” realDonaldTrump said. “If you want me to tell you about — should I or not? Yes?' YOU HONESTLY DON'T SEE THE SICKNESS IN THE MAN?

RWE’s German carve-up looks better than E.ON’sA year after a 17 bln euro asset swap, the German utilities’ deal is in Brussels’ antitrust sights. It’s more an issue for E.ON, which may lose out if forced disposals erode hoped-for cost savings. RWE, meanwhile, seems to have chosen the right time to bulk up in renewables.

Analysis | Lindsey Graham’s remarkably tepid defense of John McCain after Trump’s attacksAfter the president implicated McCain in an alleged pre-election plot to take him down, Graham offered the softest of rebukes.

So now WaPo loves dead McCain? too funny.

Meghan McCain fires back after President Trump bashes John McCain on TwitterPresident Trump's tweets suggest he hasn't forgiven McCain for voting against repeal of the Affordable Care Act. Meghan McCain is having none of it. This is stupid Democrats and Independents need to let their Senators know we want them to override Trumps veto. Allowing Trump to spit on Congress and the Constitution is a bridge to far. McCain assisted ISIS and colluded with foreign powers to tamper with the results of a US election and to launch the Russian collusion wild goose chase because he hated Trump that much. That evil old man ranks only behind HRC and GWB in terms of innocents murdered by his efforts.
