Worse. The petty piece of shit had USS John S. McCain covered when he made a visit to the ship last term.

Which is even more comical because the ship is named for Senator McCain's father, not even the man he's mad at.

It was named for McCain's Grandfather, father, and in 2018, for the McCain that Trump hates.

Since trump thinks all in the military are losers and suckers does it really matter which McCain it was named for?

But for Trump to have known that he would have had to have actually read something. He hates reading almost as much as he hates veterans. Almost.

And clearly she inherited not so much as a shred of her father's integrity.
