It's a Piñata Party!

Trump-bashing was the order of the day at several funerals this week. At John McCain's funeral, pretty much everybody who spoke took a shot - it was sort of a verbal piñata fest. In fairness, President Trump did say several years back that McCain was not a war hero because he got captured, which was a nasty and mean-spirited comment. McCain never forgave him and the late Senator was, among other things, not a person to lay down a grudge. Apparently, that has extended to the family as well. 

Just as McCain was a complex and often contradictory personality, though, the President is too and often what he does, as opposed to what he says, is different. What he did for the the late Senator and the McCain family was to dispatch Air Force 2 to fly McCain's body from Phoenix to Washington, D.C. for the state viewing at the Capitol Rotunda and then transport the body and the whole family home again for the funeral when the Washington services were done. That is a story that I have not seen widely reported. Complicated men, both of them, but it is important to try and look at the whole picture in trying to take their measure and not just the bad moments of which both were - and are - so very capable.
