A terse Donald Trump was quick to take to Twitter after Senator John McCain’s death today but the 45th President of the United States didn’t have much to say about the man who sought to be the 43rd and 44th Potus himself.
In unusual brevity and lacking his standard hyperbole, Trump wrote:
My deepest sympathies and respect go out to the family of Senator John McCain. Our hearts and prayers are with you!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 25, 2018
There was no mention by Trump of McCain’s military service, his unsuccessful 2000 Gop nomination bid or his 2008 standard bearing for the party. Unlike his boss, Vice-President Mike Pence at least acknowledged his fellow Republican’s career:
Karen and I send our deepest condolences to Cindy and the entire McCain family on the passing of Senator John McCain. We honor his lifetime of service to this nation in our military and in public life.
