  1. And I’d like to know how John Mccain is now being labeled as a leftist?! I mean? Really?! He’s just jealous because John had the one thing trump could never get, character and integrity.

    1. VETERANS BILLS BLOCKED BY REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS:
      The Clay-Hunt Suicide Prevention Act
      Health Benefits & Retirement Pay Restoration
      Wounded Veterans Job Security Act
      Veterans Retraining Act
      Homeless Veteran Reintegration
      Disabled Veterans Home Accessibility Grant
      Job Corps Act
      Torture Veterans & Victims Relief
      Veterans Business Center Act.
      Remember this when the republicans tell you they’re the “Party of Patriots.”

    1. @BC stargazer Worse, it’s a criminal organization that asserts it’s will through the abuse of hyper-conservative religious dogma. No different than Al-Qaida, ISIS or the Taliban. The only shoe left to drop is for them to actually start attempting their “military” coup, something their militias and groups like the Proud Boys are eager to do.

    2. @Michael Dougherty

      We are already in power, we don’t need a coup, you obviously don’t understand how coups work.

    1. Tell me how John McCain from the grave gets to attack Trump again. All his pictures, all the McCain stories. You are so right.

  2. Wow even Fox News journalist are saying she was told the same thing and reported on it and I’m shocked by that.. John Lewis and John McCain are right there living in Trumps head with Hillary and Obama…😆

    1. @Ms Linda Well in fact he only said that he did not here these trump remarks he did not really defended him i.m.o.

    2. Ms Linda trump hates Bolton, and so why should anyone listen to anything Bolton says? Bolton decided making a buck more important than defending democracy

  3. I hold republicans in congress responsible for keeping him in tge WH after the House Impeached Trump, for causing misinformation , aka lies, and siding with Russians

    1. Yes, this is the real problem, they are just allowing Trump to do their despicable work. WE need to vote these cheaters out of office for not doing their jobs.

    2. While I am happy about The Lincoln Project working to help get Trump out it is only because they have sunk so far that they do it. Never any Republican in any office ever again. Most corrupt party since 1976, cheating to stay in office and rich pay no tax. Everything else is just to support that.

  4. Trump believes in nothing, honors nothing, and respects nothing.
    As far as Trump is concerned, serving anything or anyone other than yourself, makes you a loser. He truly believes there is no cause greater than himself.

    1. His supporters are as bad and putrid and morally bankrupt as he is. At this point, with all the glaring proof out there , they have no excuse! They are a made of the same putrid cloth as the creep in chief.

    2. I would say in Trumps defense, He is a Sociopathic Narcissist, He’s actually insane/ sick. If he was my neighbour he’d have my sympathy, unfortunately he’s the President of the United States, an Insane President, Not a combination that instils confidence.

    1. @carol 1 you must live in Portland like to burn the city down people’s businesses really smart girl you must be an immigrant

    1. They set off to “prove” that everyone must believe as they do, even if they have to force them on us. In the process, they destroyed their own church and their own party. Rocket scientists, these zealots.

    2. LAST CALL As a long time Democrat we don’t orchestrate at all. We are usually a mixed off key band. I wish we planned that well , but I have to be realistic.

  5. Donny Bone Spurs doesn’t understand Service / Patriotism / History or Empathy..
    Don’t get Re-Humped Dump the Chump
    Vote Nov 2020

    1. if Trump is a draft dodger, then Biden must be. Biden had 5 deferments that kept him out of the military draft. Leftist hypocrites.

    2. As a number of commenters have posted before: What does Vietnam and the coronavirus have in common? Trump didn’t fight in either of them; I guess its “bone spurs” are still “acting up”.

  6. I can’t wait until November the 3rd. Of course, the military will have to remove him if he doesn’t leave if Biden wins.

    1. @Terry Hawkins Well said. I heard Trump’s words just 1 week after he said them. He was overheard by some European representatives, one of whom I know, who told me. He cannot take this back because there are too many witnesses.

  7. I believe the story because trump called John McCain a loser, plus why was every other leader able to go to the memorial service in Paris but trump couldn’t? Folks he’s the real loser and never has anyone in his family spent a day serving their country. ALL trump wants is to stay out of jail by getting re-elected. He’s a liar, he’s compromised and is the worst President ever elected.

    1. @YouTube Moderator
      Yall ignorant racist magats can’t get over Obama’s big dk energy and chocolate smoothness can you? 😁
      ANYONE BUT THE PUSS GRABBER 2K20

    1. LAST CALL
      So you got a nickname for playing call of duty? What was your MOS? Where were you deployed. What outfit were you with? What cities or country sides did you patrol?

  8. I didn’t agree with McCain’s politics. But the man had honor, and as a disabled veteran, I give McCain every respect for the man. McCain was everything Trump isn’t.

    1. Before drain the swamp. Campaign finance reform. THAT’S why 45 has the vitriol for McCain. He’s suing him for plagiarism from the grave.

    2. McCain was tortured as a POW, it shows whenever he gives a wave or salute. Trump is tortured for being a lesser mess of a man.

    3. Exactly, he was an honorable person. One can disagree with McCain on policy and politics, but recognize his qualities and realize the world would be a bloody boring place if we all see things the same way … But trump is a disgrace to the idea of human race.

    4. I agree fully with U, almost a twin soul as far as this issue is concerned, 👍✊

      I’m not even an American, much less a Conservative, but still very much in awe of late Senator McCain and his sacrifice for his country.

      To all military service men and women, past and present, thank U for your service.

      Semper Fi.

    1. I like real, not fake Presidents. I like a President who isn’t worried about his hair, when he should be honoring war veterans instead.

    2. As a number of commenters have posted before: What does Vietnam and the coronavirus have in common? Trump didn’t fight in either of them; I guess its “bone spurs” are still “acting up”.
