Today Trump signed the John S McCain National Defense Authorization act, named of course for John S McCain (who is, we might note, currently dying of cancer).
Guess who was deliberately not mentioned, and in fact, had his name conspicuously omitted from remarks. Go on, guess.
If Trump had mentioned McCain’s name, the media would be doing stories about how he was callously exploiting McCain’s name for his own benefit, and then gone on to tell about their background of conflict. He was going to be blasted whether he did or didn’t mention McCain.
I was looking for this thread when I jumped on this morning. The defense act was a major piece of legislation, but the headline in my local paper was that Trump didn’t mention McCain. Then and there I correctly surmised that there would be the obligatory Trump bashing thread on that very topic in the Hannity forum.
