GOOD TRUMP: President Lends Air Force Two To McCain Family To Bring Body Of Senator To D.C. FREDRIK SANDBERG / Stringer / ByJOSEPH CURL @JOSEPHCURL September 2, 2018 While President Trump was bad-mouthed left and right over the course of Sen. John McCain's five-day funeral and remembrance ceremonies, he actually did the former senator and war hero a solid. McCain's body was flown to Washington, D.C., on an aircraft that was approved by Trump. "The late Arizona senator's casket was loaded onto one of the jets known as Air Force 2 -- which is often designated for the VP or First Lady's travel," TMZ reported. McCain's family was also flown on the same plane out of Phoenix on Thursday afternoon after McCain's body lay in state in the Arizona capitol building. "The 89th Airlift Wing, based out of Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, is responsible for the aircraft as well as Air Force One. McCain's body will be flown to the base, according to a representative of the airlift wing," Arizona Central reported. "This specific plane has carried the body of a significant figure at least once before, according to the Air Force. In 2001, this plane transported the body of United States Marine and Central Intelligence Agency Operations Officer Johnny Michael Spann. He was the first American killed in combat during the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan." The plane was a Boeing C-32A, the military version of the Boeing 757. It is only referred to as Air Force Two when the vice president is on board. But Meghan McCain didn't appear to appreciate Trump's benevolence. At a Saturday memorial service for her father at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., the daughter of the late Arizona Republican took to the podium and ripped Trump. “We gather here to mourn the passing of American greatness — the real thing, not cheap rhetoric from men who will never come near the sacrifice he gave so willingly, nor the opportunistic appropriation of those who lived lives of comfort and privilege while he suffered and served,” she said. Then she said, "The America of John McCain has no need to be made great again because America was always great." The audience applauded. No good deed goes unpunished. https://www.dailywire.com/news/35364/good-trump-president-lends-air-force-two-mccain-joseph-curl

Originality007:I don't know why you guys love to spout garbage about a country you know nothing about. John McCain was a well respected American hero compared to a chicken hawk Cadet Bonespurs . |

Lucasbalo:yes he is a well respected hero, i agree, but is it all American heros are given such treatment? |
| Re: President Trump Lends Airforce 2 For Mccain's Burial by Lucasbalo(m): 12:15pm On Sep 05, 2018 |
Originality007:Not really but he deserved it and only 31 people in the history of America was laid in State in the Capitol Rotunda which won't happen to Cadet Bonespurs when he passes away. |

OLAADEGBU:Trump should not have approved the aircraft to carry a war hero to a state burial, that would have simply been the beginning of the end for his presidency and the Republican party. The voters would not have forgiven Trump and the Republican party in November. You are talking as if Trump borrowed Mccain his personal jet. This is a jet that is always used for such purposes and you call it one good deed. You really need to see a shrink. |

Lucasbalo:The fact that you cannot see the magnanimity of Trump's heart shows how ungrateful you liberals are. ![]() |
