"Aides hope he will contain his anger at the attention being lavished on Mr. McCain, even in death."

Inside the White House, the president’s aides briefly considered the optics of hosting events — including Thursday’s rally just as the senator’s body is scheduled to be in transit to Washington — but decided that they could not hold up White House proceedings for several days.

Several aides, battle-hardened by constant outside controversies, concluded that they could weather the criticism directed at them over the White House response to Mr. McCain, according to two people familiar with the planning who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

The president, who has privately groused that the news media has been much more critical toward him than toward Mr. McCain, ultimately believes the will of the world bends to him, not the other way around, one former adviser said. Mr. Trump particularly delights in attending political rallies, and rarely cancels them — in February, he canceled and quickly rescheduled one after a school shooting in Florida.

But this weekend, it will be Mr. McCain, not Mr. Trump, who will draw a crowd and capture the attention of the nation, and the world.

1. I think the coverage of McCain's death has been over the top

But since it rankles Needy Amin so much, I'm willing to put up with it, even if it is starting to look like the Reagan necrogasm.

8. we're being played

a one string banjo...
Trump isn't stupid, though he's a goof. He knows it cost him nada to critique mccain, and by doing so fortify mccain's good name. Surely the people can see that trump and palin are on the same side, versus any idea of improving the world, and Mcain/palin were very close to winning the '08 election (obviously the economy was is such a mess Obama was picked by the the powers/be to fixit) and poor mccain was in wrong place/wrong time! To rewrite the truth by giving him Trump's pretend animosity when - the future depends on knowing what went down, doesn't it? The entire mass media except foxnoise is pushing this trump versus war hero Mccain bs, and it should stop
