   The one-sided anti-Trump media didn’t tell the whole story, as per usual.   
      
   According to Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), President Trump directed his   
   Chief of Staff John Kelly to do something incredible for the McCain family   
   following the passing of Senator John McCain.   
      
   Graham did acknowledge that yes, the relationship between McCain and the   
   President was most definitely strained.   
      
   Trump has been getting slammed for at first refusing to comment on   
   McCain’s legacy, failing to release an official proclamation in a timely   
   manner, and later returning the White House flag to full staff before   
   eventually relenting and lowering it again.   
      
   McCain, for his part, had written a letter to be released after his death   
   which took clear jabs at the President.   
      
   “Clearly they had a contentious relationship,” Graham admitted. “He’s not   
   the only one to have had a tense relationship with John McCain.”   
      
   What Trump did after learning of McCain’s death, however, is getting very   
   little attention by a media that has seized on that poor relationship to   
   portray the President as petty, spiteful, and downright mean.   
      
   “John Kelly — I don’t know if John’s listening — he called right after   
   John passed to the family. The president tells General Kelly ‘whatever   
   they need they have,'” Graham told Fox News host Sean Hannity.   
      
   ‘Whatever they need, they have.’   
      
   Certainly sounds like a man willing to put their differences on the   
   backburner to honor McCain properly.   
      
   “The president told John Kelly, whatever they need they get,” Graham said   
   in a follow-up interview on NBC.   
      
   Trump released a statement on Monday indicating that he had directed   
   Kelly, Secretary James Mattis, and Ambassador John Bolton to represent the   
   administration at McCain’s services.   
      
   He also responded to a family request for military transportation of the   
   late Senator’s remains, military pallbearers and band support, and a horse   
   and caisson transport.   
      
   Whatever they need.   
      
   “Despite our differences on policy and politics, I respect Senator John   
   McCain’s service to our country,” the President said.   
      
   Graham had frequently come to the defense of his good friend McCain during   
   numerous public spats between him and the President.   
      
   He criticized Trump for his frequent reminders to the American people that   
   it was McCain’s vote that prevented Obamacare from being repealed and   
   replaced.   
      
   Graham also slammed the administration after word leaked that an aide had   
   joked about McCain’s illness during a meeting, calling it a “disgusting   
   thing to say.”   
      
   Now, Graham just wants to put the matter behind him while he mourns the   
   loss of Senator McCain.   
      
   “It is all over now. The flag is down,” Graham said. “When the President   
   mentioned John, he got applause. I hope he’ll remember how people feel   
   about John.”   
      
      
   --   
   Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in   
   denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016.  The clown car   
   parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump   
   truck.   
      
   Congratulations President Trump.  Thank you for cleaning up the disaster   
   of the Obama presidency.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the   
   The World According To Garp.   
      
   ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its   
   supporters can dispute that.   
      
   Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum   
   wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare.  It can't   
   be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great   
   it is.   
      
   Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight   
   years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer   
   liberal democrat donors.
