Has there been a statement from Trump about John McCain's passing?

I quickly checked CNN and didn't see anything, though there were messages from Trudeau (Canada), Morrison (Australia) and even the Israeli UN Ambassador. But nothing from the Trump.

I figured he would at least have one of his aides tweet something for him.

This "president" is such a classless idiot.

2. Okay, I finally found it.

He DID have one of his aides tweet something. I know because "sympathy" is spelled correctly.

3. "So have you heard the news about John McCain. He was a prisoner of war, you know.

That's what people say. Not smart enough not to get caught. I was never caught. Because I'm smart. Very very smart. He was caught. Not so smart. How about that economy? Booming. That's what they say. It's my policies. But he's dead. Not smart. I'm not dead. Very very smart. We sent thoughts and prayers. Nice. Very nice. Smart. Very very smart"

That's sort of what I expected from "The Real" Cheetoh.

7. Not respectful at all to Senator McCain. tRump bypasses McCain the man. . . . nt

8. He posted on Instagram the tweet, with a photo of ... himself.

12. "with a photo of himself" says it all. Trump has no decency.

9. 45 has no business even mentioning McCain's name.

Wonder how Dump would hold up over 5 1/2 years as a POW, with daily beatings and solitary?

McCain's was a man; Trump is some (very) lower life form.

10. No there hasn't. I've seen a pic of Trump with words on it but that's it.
