LETTER: Donald Trump's latest shame is his treatment of John McCain
This lack of empathy even to the departed shows clearly a man who has tarnished the US image
It ill behoves a sitting president to ignore issuing proper condolences following the death of a man who once criticised him openly. John McCain’s passing at the weekend was widely eulogised by many of his compatriots, but a presidential order made certain that a flag usually lowered to half-mast when a senator dies, be left in the usual position. This lack of empathy even to the departed shows clearly a man who has tarnished the US image since his election as president. A referendum on impeachment, if held in the US, will clearly show enormous disillusionment with President Donald Trump. AR Modak, Johannesburg
