... "I’ve been worse treated than President Trump has, so let’s be sure that we know about that," McCain said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

McCain was captured during the Vietnam War, tortured and held as a prisoner of war for more than five years ...

11. At least McCain served and didn't lay out with a bone spur excuse.

2. McCain appears to be making a "Revenge is best served cold" move.

Trump may rue the day he dissed McCain about being a POW.

15. Yep. No love lost there.

Poor persecuted, maligned man

10. Senator McCain suffered terribly, and most likely still does today.

I couldn't, in good conscience, compare what another politician has gone through to what McCain endured. I may not support him politically, but I honor his courage and his service to our country.

12. How about the way Hillary was treated last year? Or Obama during his 8 years?

Thanks for playing the game, McCain! We have some lovely parting gifts for you courtesy of our sponsors, like the world's tiniest violin:
