Senator John McCain: a political prophet foretold Trump's tyranny

Donald Trump obviously needs a Bible tutor:  
1 Samuel 31: Honoring the Dead
Meghan McCain, the daughter of Senator John McCain, mourns at her father's the military funeral 
"Honoring the dead involves more than where a person is buried; it involves treating life with respect, with honor, with dignity. After all, we are each created in God’s image (Genesis 1:27). The implication of this creation includes the way we honor the dead."

Apparently, Donald Trump carries with him some sort of *Pharoah wish*, because he acts like his mortality is never in question.  Yet, as we the faithful know, there will come a judgement day when Trump will be forced to stand in the brilliant light of our Creator and receive his justice. At that inevitable time, the spirit of Senator John McCain will be there to witness Trump's eternal banishment.  

Reported in Business Insider:  Senator John McCain recited the names of dictators during Trump's inauguration ceremony, according to Amy Klobuchar, in an echo report published in Business Insider, by Ellen Cranley. In my opinion, by framing the failed Trump inaugural speech with the echos of notable dictators, Senator John McCain was demonstrating his prophetic political wisdom.

Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar said the late Senator John McCain compared Donald Trump to notable dictators during his 2017, inauguration ceremony in Washington DC

Klobuchar, a 2020, presidential candidate contender, told a crowd in Iowa that the Republican senator recited the names of dictators while seated onstage for the president's swearing-in.

Senator John McCain compared Donald Trump to notable dictators aloud during the president's 2017, inauguration ceremony.

Speaking in Iowa on a campaign stop ahead of the 2020 presidential election, Klobuchar said she was seated next to Democratic Senator Bernie Sanders and longtime Republican McCain, who "knew more than any of us what we were facing as a nation."

"I sat on that stage between Bernie and John McCain, and John McCain kept reciting to me names of dictators during that speech because he knew more than any of us what we were facing as a nation," Klobuchar said. "He understood it. He knew because he knew this man more than any of us did."


McCain and Trump publicly squared off multiple times since the 2016, Election. Trump jabbed at the senator for his vote that killed the Obamacare repeal and raised eyebrows by mocking his capture while serving as a fighter pilot in Vietnam, saying he likes "people who weren't captured."

McCain's August 2018, death brought the pair's fraught relationship into focus, as Trump was asked not to attend the funeral and McCain's daughter Meghan took aim at the state of the country under the president in her eulogy for the massive crowd of Washington heavyweights.

"We gather here to mourn the passing of American greatness," Ms. McCain said. "The real thing, not cheap rhetoric from men who will never come near the sacrifice he gave so willingly, nor the opportunistic appropriation of those who live lives of comfort and privilege while he suffered and served."
In the eulogy to her father, McCain then zeroed in with a harsh rebuke to Trump's campaign slogan.

"The America of John McCain has no need to be made great again because America was always great," she said to thunderous applause.

Trump has kept up his hits against the senator, even after his death, complaining in March that he didn't get a "thank you" for approving funeral plans for McCain, despite his dislike for him.
(MaineWriter-  Donald Trump is stupid and cruel. In fact, Trump didn't realize that Senator John McCain had earned his right to have a funeral with full military honors because he was a graduate of the US Naval Academy and a retired senior Navy officer.)
