Seething Trump Levels Threat At John McCain
As if the guy who was tortured for years is gonna be afraid of a pussy who has lived his life surrounded by bodyguards.

The war of words between President Trump and Senator John McCain rolls on.
I’d say it began when candidate Trump hit at McCain during the primaries, suggesting McCain was a “hero” only because he was captured, and that he preferred those who didn’t get captured.
It’s been a back and forth ride, since then. Last night, however, Senator McCain gave a speech that some felt was a not-so-thinly-veiled swipe at Trump.
“To fear the world we have organized and led for three-quarters of a century, to abandon the ideals we have advanced around the globe, to refuse the obligations of international leadership and our duty to remain ‘the last best hope of Earth’ for the sake of some half-baked, spurious nationalism cooked up by people who would rather find scapegoats than solve problems is as unpatriotic as an attachment to any other tired dogma of the past that Americans consigned to the ash heap of history,” McCain said at the National Constitution Center, where he was awarded the Liberty Medal.
It certainly sounds like Trump.
The president, thin-skinned and intensely sensitive to even the slightest perceived criticism, fired back in a radio broadcast earlier today.
“People have to careful, because at some point I fight back,” Trump told WMAL radio host Chris Plante. “I’m being very nice. I’m being very, very nice. But at some point I fight back, and it won’t be pretty.”
Seriously, seek help.
I am about 99.9 percent positive that McCain was casting some indirect shade your way, but I am 100 percent sure that it does not serve you or your efforts to make a big deal out of it, Mr. President.
But, as we’ve seen time and again, Trump is a child on the playground. He’s incapable of letting anything go, or responding with some measure of self-control. It’s always a threat, with him.
For those who are miffed at the psychologists who marched in New York this past weekend, claiming Trump displayed the characteristics of a malignant narcissists, and therefore, was a dangerous man, it’s becoming harder and harder to hear your protestations.
McCain, whose politics make me retch, knows what he’s facing now is much worse than a squealing man-baby, and responded, no doubt with that in mind.

In response to Trump's threat, McCain had this blunt response: "I’ve faced far greater challenges than this" t.co

He has. And he is.
Trump needs to grow up.

John McCain Accused Of Living It Up At Hanoi Hilton; Twitter Does Not Disappoint

Sen. John McCain (R – Ariz.) regardless of his perceived political faults, is an American hero. From 1967 until 1973, he was held and repeatedly tortured as a prisoner of war in the North Vietnamese prison dubbed, The Hanoi Hilton.
This fact has been unbelievably twisted in the minds of some idiots as proof that McCain wasn’t, in fact, a POW, but was living it up at the city’s Hilton hotel.
The reply tweet came in response to this short exchange between AlwaysTrumper Bill Mitchell and Sarah Quinlan.
Twitter is a place where dumb, uninformed thoughts are published as a matter of course, but this reply immediately got the setdown it deserved from anyone with two brain cells.
Because, duh:

"Hanoi Hilton" was an ironic nickname for a North Vietnamese POW camp. t.co

Mockery is the only way to combat this kind of thing, clearly.

the Hanoi Hilton was nice and all but it didn't have as good an omelet chef as the Hai Phong Hyatt

This shows just how aggressively stupid some can be.

Print it and frame it. Twitter illuminates public discourse, if only by showcasing what knowledge is not actually generally known. t.co

And while the tweet alone is ridiculously stupid, it’s the likes and retweets that show just how many out there think the same:

How dare John McCain waste the taxpayer's money staying at The Hanoi Hilton when The Hanoi Howard Johnson's was less expensive t.co

Saddest thing is the number of ignorant people who favorited this without a clue what the Hanoi Hilton entailed. pic.twitter.com/I2N0bIpTUe

In the words of President Trump, “Sad!”
