This must really irritate the dotard coming from an ex-president who is widely respected worldwide. A Democrat to boot and a total contrast living in a two bedroom house in his hometown eschewing the perks of being an ex president, living mostly on his pension and book royalties.

Trump ‘made a mistake’ by not honoring John McCain’s service, Jimmy Carter says

Quote:
“I thought that President Trump made a mistake at first” by issuing a tweet that made no mention of McCain’s service, Carter told Fox News Channel’s Neil Cavuto.

Trump’s critics and supporters later made the president’s misstep clear to him, Carter said, adding: “I think his last statement that I read yesterday has basically corrected that.”

In an interview with MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell, Carter elaborated further, saying that the proclamation Trump issued Monday was “still not as enthusiastic as it should be.”

After McCain’s death on Saturday at the age of 81, Trump rejected the advice of top aides who advocated releasing an official statement that gave the decorated Vietnam War POW plaudits for his military and Senate service and called him a “hero.” Trump instead offered words of condolence to the senator’s family in a tweet that made no mention of McCain’s storied service in the military and on Capitol Hill.
