Saturday, after his death, President Trump paid tribute to Senator John McCain in a simple tweet. White House officials wanted a formal condolence message; They also prepared a draft message titled McCain, named 'Heroic Warrior'. But it was canceled at Trump's direction.
Trump did not stop this insult; Thus, until the death of a national leader, the White House has the rules to keep the national flags half-mast until the funeral is over. On Sunday, McKean's flag was half-pronounced, but in the morning it was back in the morning. After the start of strong criticism around this, after the noon yesterday, the flag of the flag was again half-masted.
On this day, journalists want to know more about Trump, if he thinks McCain as a "heroic warrior". Trump did not answer any questions. The situation was changed yesterday afternoon. Trump read out a written statement from a former soldier, where he said that he had a personal disagreement with regard to politics and policy questions, but he remembered with respect to the contribution of McCain to the country.Eprothomalo
It is learned that Trump changed his position in the face of constant criticism in television. Chief of Staff John Kelly and Press Secretary Sarah Hakabi Sanders also encouraged him to change his mind.
Trump and McCain's disagreement is not a secret. McCain was a war prisoner in Vietnam for more than five years. During the election campaign of 2016, Trump commented that he was not a war criminal, as the hero of the war, who preferred to come back from winning the war. Because of this comment, McCain dislike her fairly. Due to McCain's 'no' vote last year, a draft law could not be passed on behalf of the cancellation of the health insurance program known as the Obama Senate in the Senate. That's why Trump attacked him severely.Eprothomalo

McCain, the failure of the trump to express the last respect for this yearly Republican leader is often unfortunate. Republican Senator Susan Collins said that Trump has failed to show respect to an actual American hero by prioritizing his personal attitudes. According to New York Times commentator Frank Bruni, it is possible to treat such behavior only to a super-self-interested person.
Although Trump is unable to speak positive about McCain himself, his daughter Ebhanka has fulfilled the gap. In an event in Washington yesterday, Ivankara described McCain as 'an American patriot'. He said McCain kept himself in the service of the United States for more than 60 years.
The last laugh of the trump, however, laughs McCain. Before his death, he has ordered that Trump should not be invited to his funeral. Instead, he has ordered the former two presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama to invite him to make a speech.
