A humiliated T-rump will be banned from McCain's honorable funeral ceremonies
As with the April funeral of former First Lady Barbara Bush, the McCain family has let T-rump know he is not welcome at the funeral services for their patriarch Senator John McCain, who passed away on Saturday.
The nation's highest honors will be given to the late Senator, in which his casket will lie in state on Capitol Hill, followed by a 'full dress' funeral service at the Washington National Cathedral. He will be the 13th Senator to receive the honor, reserved for the 'most eminent' citizens in the country. The practice was started in 1852.
Burial will follow with full military honors in the US Naval Academy Cemetery above the Severn River in Annapolis, Maryland — the legacy homeground of the United States Navy — next to best friend and fellow Academy graduate Admiral Chuck Larson.
Former President Barack Obama, who beat McCain in the 2008 Presidential election, will deliver the eulogy at the request of the Republican Senator from Arizona. Former President George W. Bush will also speak at the funeral. It hasn't been decided if President Carter and his wife Roslyn will be able to attend, or if President Clinton and his wife Hillary will be able to attend.
One person notably who will not be in attendance is the current President. When pre-planning his funeral services earlier this year, Senator McCain specifically stated he did not want T-rump attending any of the ceremonies. His family has vowed to uphold his wishes, as they don't want him attending, either.
"McCain's action toward the strikingly unpopular Trump is seen as characteristic of the former US Navy pilot's blunt honesty regarding friends and foes alike," said one journalist. "Americans were quick to note that McCain's choices, even in death, were larger than life.'
