differences on policy and politics, i respect senator john mccain and will fly the flag at half staff till the day of his internment. at the united states capital this friday, 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 paul bearers and band support and horse and cash and transport during the service at the united states naval academy. finally i ve asked general john kelly, secretary james mattis and ambassador john bolton to represent my administration and the service of rick wilson. i wish this had been delivered the first moment we had the news. this is papering over something that is going to be a wound that mccain family will have to face for a long time. it s a shame that we had to have a public outcry just short of pitch forks and torches in front
