Donald Trump: Picking a Fight With A Dead Guy

Read Time:5 Minute, 29 Second

by Gregory B. Gonzalez

Donald Trump is an idiot. I say that in almost every article I write about him to the point that I’m beginning to think I should begin all my correspondence with it. I recently saw a meme on Facebook that had the caption, “ONLY DONALD TRUMP WOULD PICK A FIGHT WITH A DEAD GUY, AND THE DEAD GUY IS WINNING.”

Which pretty much sums up the content of this article. John McCain has been dead for seven months now, and Trump has been insulting his memory on an almost daily basis for the last two weeks, pretty much just short of pissing on his grave. Instead of taking Trump on tit for tat, the McCain family has decided to take the high road and highlight their patriarch’s achievements as opposed to responding to the bully squatting in the oval office.

I don’t plan on being so charitable.

I never cared much for John McCain. I know that probably sounds like blasphemy, but I’m just being honest. Having said that, it doesn’t mean I didn’t have any respect for the man. I do, probably more now in death than when he was alive. When he ran for the presidency in 2000, I was hoping he would secure the nomination over George W. Bush, thinking he was by far the superior candidate. Who knows how different this country would be if McCain had been President? 9/11 probably never would have happened under his watch. I doubt John McCain would have ignored the intelligence reports or sat in front of a bunch kindergarteners looking like a deer in the headlights.

But I’m dwelling too much on what could have been and not on the here and now. The only real thing I can fault McCain for is his pick for VP in his 2008 presidential run, Sarah Palin. I think it’s safe to say that without her influence, the rise of the Tea Party might never have happened. I think that was when the GOP became the party of stupid.

I often wonder if McCain ever regretted his decision. If he did, he wisely kept it to himself. If it were me, I would spend the rest of my days on Earth waking up with the words, “Dear God, what have I done?” ringing in my ears.

Despite those shortcomings, you can’t deny that John McCain was an American hero. He served as a pilot in the Navy, he was a prisoner of war, served as a United States Senator and fought for the rights of veterans till the day he died. He deserved every honor that was given to him and probably a few that were not.

Which makes Trump’s ire towards him all the more mystifying.

The only thing I can boil it down to is jealousy. Trump deferred his military service four times, ensuring that he wouldn’t serve in Vietnam due to bone spurs in his feet. If you ask me, I think he just didn’t want to muss his hair. Trump started this rivalry during the 2016 campaign when he said that McCain wasn’t a hero because he was captured and that he liked people who weren’t.

Yeah, I can honestly say that I prefer billionaires who are actually self-made and you know… BILLIONAIRES. At least Jeff Bezos didn’t go bankrupt four times or get money from his scumbag daddy to start his fake ‘empire’.

On the whole, it’s probably not a good idea to pick a fight with someone who is revered by both republicans and democrats. And I have to give it to John McCain, he really shafted Trump, both on his refusal to vote in favor of the repeal of of Obamacare and his request to not have the tangerine douchebag at his memorial service. That was a masterstroke. It was like giving him the finger in death.

Trump says he never got a ‘thank you’ for giving John McCain the funeral he wanted. A thank you for what? Practically hounding the guy till his death? FYI: Congress and the taxpayers paid for the funeral. TRUMP DIDN’T DO JACK SHIT. You know, like his entire time in office. This dumbf*ck just loves taking credit for shit he didn’t do. I’m surprised he didn’t take credit for the brain tumor that killed McCain.

Just where is the GOP in all this back and forth? Cowering like the bunch simpering pussies they are. Only TWO of them have rebuked Trump’s comments, one of them being Mitt Romney. I guess that magic underwear of his has strengthened his balls. Good for him. The rest of the GOP is living in fear of getting a mean tweet like a bunch of little freshman high school girls. They make me sick.

And what of Lindsey Graham, John McCain’s so-called ‘best friend’? Why, he was douching it up at a fundraiser at Trump’s Mar-A-Lago resort. He was dancing to Trump’s tune and singing his praises. All that was missing was a guy holding an organ grinder. From what I heard, it was an epic display of ass-kissing. It shouldn’t surprise me, I guess. Lindsay has long been suspected of being a little light in the loafers, not that there’s anything wrong with that. Unless you’re Mike Pence.

As I wrote a few weeks ago, Trump doesn’t like the military, and this is proof. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a deluded fool. They’re nothing but a bunch of glorified mall cops as far as he’s concerned. The ONLY reason Trump believes the military is on his side is because they aren’t allowed to speak out against him or face court martial. Even John McCain wouldn’t betray that had he still been an active service member, no matter his feelings about Trump.

Even in death, John McCain has more honor than our highest elected official. I’m not sure what that says about our country, but it’s not good. If McCain’s death means anything, it should be that we need to be dedicated to the values this country was founded on. If we turn our backs on that, then maybe everything we hold dear as Americans died with him, and Trump wins.

If you respect any of the things that McCain believed and fought for, however you might have disagreed with him, then he did not die in vain. Resist.
