Trump has been stomping his feet and holding his breath on Twitter in a bid to upstage the funeral of Sen. John McCain.
Trump retweeted Fox News:
Report: There were no FISA hearings held over Spy documents.â€It is astonishing that the FISA courts couldn’t hold hearings on Spy Warrants targeting Donald Trump. It isn’t about Carter Page, it’s about the Trump Campaign. You’ve got corruption at the DOJ & FBI. The leadership….

….of the DOJ & FBI are completely out to lunch in terms of exposing and holding those accountable who are responsible for that corruption.†@TomFitton @JudicialWatch

Trump ranted about the Steele Dossier via more Fox News quotes:
“You have a Fake Dossier, gathered by Steele, paid by the Clinton team to get information on Trump. The Dossier is Fake, nothing in it has been verified. It then filters into our American court system in order to spy on Barrack Obama and Hillary Clinton’s political opponent……

….Donald Trump, and now we find out that there wasn’t even a hearing – that Donald Trump’s 4th Amendment right to privacy was signed away…and someone in there is swearing that this stuff is true, when it wasn’t? This is the scandal here – a police state.†Dan Bongino

Trump got really desperate and threatened Canada:
There is no political necessity to keep Canada in the new NAFTA deal. If we don’t make a fair deal for the U.S. after decades of abuse, Canada will be out. Congress should not interfere w/ these negotiations or I will simply terminate NAFTA entirely & we will be far better off…

….Remember, NAFTA was one of the WORST Trade Deals ever made. The U.S. lost thousands of businesses and millions of jobs. We were far better off before NAFTA – should never have been signed. Even the Vat Tax was not accounted for. We make new deal or go back to pre-NAFTA!

John McCain was getting the attention that Trump craves
Trump can’t handle the fact that McCain was getting the attention that he feels should belong to him all of the time. There was not a single mention of John McCain by the president on Saturday. Trump can’t handle someone else being regarded as an American hero, because in his mind, he is America’s biggest hero.
This is more than unpresidential behavior. It is the desperation of a small and insecure man who can’t stop putting his self-interest ahead of his country.
