The defense authorization bill is named after John McCain — but Trump didn't mention him
CNN ^ | 8/13/18 | Betsy Klein

President Trump just signed the National Defense Authorization Act, named after Arizona Sen. John McCain, but the President never once mentioned McCain's name or thanked him.

“We would not be here for today’s signing ceremony without the dedicated efforts without the dedicated members of Congress who worked so hard to pass the National Defense Authorization Act,” said Trump while thanking service members and military leadership.

However, he did mention Rep. Elise Stefanik, who spoke briefly and represents the district containing Fort Drum, as well as Don Baker, Dan Donovan, Joe Wilson, and Martha McSally.

I do wonder what atrocities must be stuffed inside this bill.

The NDAA is where the Uniparty hides the egregious stuff.

So, after verbally defecating on DJT's head every time he sees a microphone, McCain then expercts praise or something at a bill-signing? Geez, he's further gone brain-wise than I thought!

No human alive should ever get anything named after him/her. Too much political mischief.

I don’t think Trump will ever say his name. I respect all the horror and pain that McCain may have been exposed to as a prisoner of war, but I don’t understand the leap that many intelligent people make label him a hero. Even if a hero, that is no reason to let him screw us over and over and over and over again a d again and again and over and again and again and over and aoved and again and over ...
