“[John] McCain’s funeral seems to be shaping up as the Washington Establishment’s response to Trump. Wonder if it’ll have a lasting impact.”

So wrote Wall Street Journal correspondent David Wessel on Saturday morning, reacting to the fact that the late Senator’s funeral rites seemed to be essentially about “two things” - as political comedian Tim Young put it via Twitter - “Remembering Sen. McCain and hating on Trump.”

Indeed, family and friends aside, the so-called “Washington Establishment” and other “elites,” from politicians to former presidents, from beltway bureaucrats to celebrities and media figures, were arrayed in all their pious splendor on Saturday to rightfully celebrate the life of one of their own while taking absurd, out-of-place potshots at someone clearly NOT part of the “in” crowd.

Meanwhile … “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN,” Trump tweeted on Saturday in all caps, not long after the funeral / Trump hate-fest was over, letting his supporters know that the man the “Washington Beltway” loves to bash, for all his faults, is actually busy making the lives of millions of Americans better, right here and right now.

Liberals may pretend they’re concerned about his personal faults, but THAT is what irks them most of all.
