Keep telling the truth as you see it, Mr. President

DONALD TRUMP IS A REAL PERSON, including when he's being President of the United States.
He's being criticized for not playing the game of hypocrisy according to the “rules” like all the establishment politicians, Republican and Democrat, have done and continue to do. The insincerity of politicians is criticized but then, when a newcomer to the game speaks honestly and clears the air, as Trump did yesterday toward John McCain, the politicians run for the hills in horror.
The biased media characterize it as an attack, and "unseemly behavior" for a head of state. I see it as the President giving his side of the story, which he should do. The idea that he should remain above the fray, and never answer attacks on his person, is wrong. I love his instincts and think he should keep following them. I'm a big believer in the rightness of our instincts.
I also have never liked John McCain—the worshipful blubberings of his daughter don't help. In 2008 I didn't vote for either major party presidential nominee because I couldn't bring myself to vote for John McCain.
I thought Trump's remarks were helpful; I was glad to learn that the McCain family had to request all those special ceremonial privileges and government-funded air transport and security for McCain's many-days long lying in state and funeral/burial (for a senator!?) from President Donald Trump, which he graciously gave yet they couldn't bring themselves to thank him. In fact, the President was banned from the funeral! They feel themselves entitled. It puts things into better perspective for We the People. Why should we be kept in the dark so that a rigged consensus can be fashioned for making a national hero of John McCain? I prefer truth-tellers to the privileged sons of ex-presidents and admirals who themselves covered up the truth.
Keep telling the truth as you see it, Mr. President.
