• President Donald Trump reportedly joked that White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was "having a nervous breakdown," over his response to Sen. John McCain's death, Bloomberg News reported.
• Sanders reportedly stared at him after he refused to answer whether McCain would have been a better president than former President Barack Obama, who defeated McCain in the 2008 election.
• Trump says he believes he properly honored McCain following his death, according to the report.

President Donald Trump reportedly joked that White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was "having a nervous breakdown" as she stared at him when he refused to answer whether former Sen. John McCain would have been a better president than former President Barack Obama.

McCain, who died on Saturday, was the Republican presidential nominee in 2008. He lost the election to Obama.

"I don't want to comment on it," Trump said in response to the question, according to a Bloomberg News report published on Thursday, adding: "I have a very strong opinion."

"Maybe I'll give you that answer some day later," Trump said.

Trump also insisted that he properly honored McCain after the longtime senator and Vietnam War veteran died following a long battle with brain cancer.

The White House lowered its flags to half-staff immediately after McCain's death, but raised them back up to full staff Monday morning. After some blistering criticism from veterans groups, Trump ordered the White House flags back to half-staff.

Federal code only requires the flag to be flown at half-staff "on the day of death and following day" for a member of Congress. But traditionally, US presidents have signed proclamations for flags to remain at half-staff until a prominent US official is buried.

As McCain's body arrived for scheduled memorial services in Washington, DC, on Thursday evening, Trump headlined a campaign rally in Indiana.

White House aides reportedly considered the optics of such a move, but decided to go through with it anyway.

McCain and Trump feuded for years over public policy and other matters.

In 1999, Trump downplayed McCain's military service and suggested he was considered an American hero only because he was captured and held as a prisoner of war for five years in Vietnam.

Trump repeated those remarks during his 2016 campaign.

"We had our disagreements and they were very strong disagreements," Trump said to Bloomberg. "I disagreed with many of the things that I assume he believed in."

Trump said he does not believe he failed to unite the country around McCain's death.

"No, I don't think I did at all," Trump said to Bloomberg. "I've done everything that they requested and no, I don't think I have at all."

"I respect his service to the country."

Sanders reportedly stared at him after he refused to answer whether McCain would have been a better president than former President Barack Obama, who defeated McCain in the 2008 election.

WTF kind of question is that?

 

[Commodus]

Maybe Sanders is learning the golden rule: Trump always screws over everyone. It's just a question of how long you hold out before it happens.

 

[Fanatical Meat]

There is a solution


She could quit

Can she? Can you take back the sale of your soul to the devil?

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

Can she? Can you take back the sale of your soul to the devil?

I think she needs to believe in the devil because her father sold her soul for her to him. Well why not? He's in league with quite a few demons.

IMO she's a product of her family, and if she rejects Trump she rejects everything she was taught to believe in, one of those is Dad. Doesn't make what she does right but I should not be surprised if this was the major factor in how she acts. But McCain was a god-damn-honest-to-goodness hero. That Trump wouldn't take the softball obvious question of picking McCain for President over Obama was a blow to her perception of reality, or at least I hope so for her sake.

Dirtbag and all those who support him

Maybe she's finally, after all this time, starting to come to the realization about how toxic Donnie is. All she really needed to do, look at the example of Sean Spicer.

She's been there three times as long as he was, and he still can't get a job. Working for the Orange Orangutan is a surefire way to kill your future. Maybe she's just looking for a life after Donnie.

Kind of like someone trying to forget a drunken one night stand.

 

[sactoking]

Mental health is no joke.

 

[shortylickens]

I'll be damned.

She's human after all.

 

[Moonbeam]

Viper pit.

 

[trenchfoot]

No doubt that the stench coming off of Trump is toxic and very long lasting. The very wealthy despise him even after he gave them most everything they asked for and for good reason too. And these are the very folks who dole out those cushy jobs to post-political career sycophants that did as they were told and advanced the agenda of the very wealthy every which way they could while on the gov't dole.

Its a softball question a child or half brained adult could answer. If Republican say yes, if Democrat say No.

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

Viper pit.

We live in a world where people deserve consequences for their actions most of the time, she included, but there is a sense of tragedy in that this happens at all. She might have turned out completely different for the good.

I despise what she does and represents and I have no positive thing to say, yet at the same time I am upset I have a sense of sadness seeing a corrupted potential. Perhaps but for the grace of God go I.

I have no sympathy for her whatsoever.

If someone asks you to be Trump's new Press Secretary, you taking that job?

This^ She knew all too well what Trump was about. She’ll get a job on Fox after she leaves, daddy will make sure of that.

You missed the important larger point. I don't have sympathy for her actions. I not approve of her. I find her to be aiding a terrible person, Trump. She has earned her scorn.

Again that's not the point, rather that people like her are made, and that is what's tragic.

I hear you, Rich! I have the same feelings about Adolf Eichmann and Josef Mengele.

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

I hear you, Rich! I have the same feelings about Adolf Eichmann and Josef Mengele.

And what a better world we would have if they and others like them had not been bred to evil and empowered to act on it, and there is not one word diminishing the harm they did exists in my sentiment. The evil that men do perpetuates down through the generations and while it is true I feel it is lamentable.

 

[Perknose]

^^^ In case it goes unremarked, I do understand your high-minded feelings. I just feel that they are wasted on such a rabidly willing and wholly energetic apologist who repeatedly LIES and stonewalls and materially misrepresents the truth, all to defend and protect the racist TRAITOR in the White House, an entirely ignorant piece of shit.

No tears or quarter for SHS from me.

No tears or quarter for SHS from me.

You will have noted that I have no kind words for her and have said she is accountable for her actions. She deserves all we say and maybe more, but there are aspects of the human condition, things that lie below the visible, the "pasteboard mask" of Ahab and like him it is the thing behind it I chiefly hate. Again I have no tears for her either, but I cannot help at times to wonder at our species that creates people who deserve no quarter. That's how my "eyesight" works, that there is a depth to reality that I must confront.

Do you think that wrong of me?

Her response would be: "I'm just doing the job I'm being paid to do. The fleas come with the dog. I had no idea how much he lies, and how he lives in an alternate universe. What do you want me to do? Quit? You gonna pay my bills if I do?"

I don't like the cow much, but I do think she just got in over her head, like so many females will do, and can't figure how to get out.

She might consider an acting career, (if she could drop maybe 50 pounds..)That she can deliver her lines with a straight face takes some talent.

 

[Perknose]

Do you think that wrong of me?

I strongly believe, in this case, that the thrust of your deep empathy is misplaced. Unless you will now post the same tender humanitarian empathy for Adolf Eichmann and Josef Megele, that is. Ball's in your court.

 

[UglyCasanova]

What a remarkably strange time to be alive

I must not be expressing myself well. There are two things, first SHS or Adolph or Vlad the Impaler, anyone you like. I have no empathy because I cannot nor want to get in their heads. But that doesn't force one to be deaf or blind to the tragedy of a world that breeds these which we may despise. It's not empathy for the horrid but regret that the world is not what it might be by whatever it is that makes the Eichmanns and SHS in the history of humanity. If that more philosophy than politics so be it.
