Donald Trump authorized Air Force 2 to transport John McCain’s casket.
John McCain is finally getting his due respect from President Trump — his body is being flown to Washington D.C. on an aircraft that had to be approved by POTUS.
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. As you know, 45 will not be attending McCain’s service in D.C. … reportedly because McCain wanted it that way.
Still, Trump announced earlier this week he had greenlit military transport for McCain, saying, “At the request of the McCain family, I have also authorized military transportation of Senator McCain’s remains from Arizona to Washington, D.C., military pallbearers and band support, and a horse and caisson transport during the service at the United States Naval Academy.”
This seemed to have been forgotten by many at the funeral. Many of the speakers attacked Trump including John McCain’s daughter Meghan McCain.
