President Thin-Skin Trump Attacks John McCain Because He Didn’t Cheerlead Yemen Mission
….
McCain raised eyebrows when he said he didn’t consider the recent military mission in Yemen a “success” because of the death of a Navy SEAL and a young civilian girl. McCain clarified his comments based on the fact that the mission included gathering intelligence, which they did, but also capturing Al Qaeda terrorists, which they did not:
“My understanding of the parameters of the raid were, they wanted to capture individuals,” Republican Sen. John McCain, who received a classified briefing on the raid Tuesday, told NBC News. “The objective was to kill the bad guys but also capture some of them,” he continued, adding that another goal was to “gain information from various electronic devices.”
This didn’t matter to Trump who tweeted:
Sen. McCain should not be talking about the success or failure of a mission to the media. Only emboldens the enemy! He's been losing so….

…long he doesn't know how to win anymore, just look at the mess our country is in – bogged down in conflict all over the place. Our hero..

..Ryan died on a winning mission ( according to General Mattis), not a "failure." Time for the U.S. to get smart and start winning again!

Is this grade school? All Trump had to do was stick his thumbs in his ears and wave at McCain saying, “Nyah! Nyah!” to complete the childishness. And what’s with bringing Mattis into it? It sounds like he’s saying, “BUT MY DAD SAID IT WAS A SUCCESS!”

Trump has never served. My father can't bend one of his knees or lift one of his arms above his head. I am done with this today. DONE.
