US Senator John McCain, the war hawk who died on Saturday, had requested that former presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush be eulogists at his funeral.
According to reports, he did not want President Donald Trump to attend his services.
McCain, who died of brain cancer, had long feuded with President Trump, and his family asked, before his death, that Trump stay away from the funeral services.

So as the Deep State cabal puppets will be attending at McCain’s funeral….we’re sure the Clinton’s will show up too.
Press TV reports: Former Vice President Joe Biden will speak at a separate service in Arizona.
Obama, who defeated McCain in the 2008 presidential race, issued a statement shortly after the senator’s death, saying that “we shared, for all our differences, a fidelity to something higher — the ideals for which generations of Americans and immigrants alike have fought, marched, and sacrificed.”
“Few of us have been tested the way John once was, or required to show the kind of courage that he did,” Obama said. “But all of us can aspire to the courage to put the greater good above our own. At John’s best, he showed us what that means. And for that, we are all in his debt.”
Bush, who defeated McCain for the Republican nomination in 2000, issued a statement parsing McCain as “a man of deep conviction and a patriot of the highest order.”
The White House had prepared an official statement that hailed the life of McCain, but President Trump told senior advisers that he preferred to post a tweet instead.
Trump’s tweet did not include any kind words for the long-time senator and Vietnam War veteran.
“My deepest sympathies and respect go out to the family of Senator John McCain. Our hearts and prayers are with you!” Trump posted Saturday evening.
My deepest sympathies and respect go out to the family of Senator John McCain. Our hearts and prayers are with you!

McCain will lie in state at the Arizona Capitol on Wednesday, before his body will be flown to Washington to lie in state at the US Capitol.
On Sunday US defense manufacturer Lockheed Martin wrote a most ‘heartfelt’ eulogy to the late war hawk.

DNC and him destroy America. He’s a traitor. Bad gov.
HAHA McTraitor knew President Trump would never attend his funeral, much less give a eulogy so he told him not to come. They should bury him at sea, off the deck of the USS Forrestal just like he deserved… in 1967.
Who cares?He was never a President , just a Senator and they die and are usually just forgotten .So which gang want to make a big fuss of his political rubbish he took even to the grave?
Oh my goodness I think I am going to vomit……. McGrub was a piece of slimy shit….. he was a disgusting creepy little man of no character… he was responsible for many American deaths… and he will be a long time in hell…. and soon his father satan will be joining him…
I guess this funeral will be aired on every Democratic-run FAKE NEWS network for the sole purpose of demoralizing Trump? LOL Trump knew the truth behind McCain. The lib globalists have nothing valid to cling-on to which is displayed by their petty actions.
The guest of honor will be dead, so he cannot hurt the nation or people again, the two he chooses to speak are peas from the same pod in just about every aspect, remember the one piece of garbage said the constitution is just a Goddamn piece of paper so we know he is a traitor, and the other one is probably the biggest loser to ever enter the white house and his treason is beyond words. As for the dead guy Mcpuke, he was a public servent who did anything but serve the public, my toilet when I flush it does more for the public then he did in 30 years of so called service. He like many others makes a career out of public service and that is how they can do so much damage to the people. Let us hope that Mcpuke is in hell with his father, as the apple falls not far from the tree, (remember the USS Liberty white wash).
At least the US Marshall’s will know where they can arrest ALL the Deep State Co-conspirators at one time. And they can collect McCain’s GPS boot.
“Rent-A-John McBrownstain’s” final resting place will be at the Annapolis Academy cemetery where on his last visit he told the graduating class to NOT follow President Trump’s orders. Living on the East Coast will make it easier for me to visit his plot so I can relieve myself.
I haven’t heard a word from Sarah Palin, but then again, she may have been given the “Trump Treatment” by the McCain family.
