To start, I picked this topic because, while it wasn't dark and grim, told an interesting and relevant story about one of the President's many feuds, this one being a Republican who served in the war. This sparked my interest with the recent boost for Trump appealing to soldiers and veterans but, at the same time, disregarding someone who has served. I thought it would be nice to do something that is interesting and not completely depressing.

I would say that the fact of most sources being democratic shows as most of the article sided with McCain in the feud and opposed Trump. I also believe that most of the people my age oppose the President and therefore side with McCain. People I have spoken to think that McCain was instigated by Trump's comments and was reasonable that McCain made the comments he did.  I have to say I agree with this. I believe even more, after learning the history of the two, that Donald Trump is unprofessional and outrageous in his statements. I believe that he is hypocritical in calling for support of the troops during the NFL protest but disrespects a prisoner of war. I feel that because of the comments that Trump previously made to McCain, it makes complete sense for the Senator to makes comments towards Trump.

The leftist author makes their opinion know in the headline of his article. The article is extremely liberal and shows that from the beginning. The author does do a good job of explaining the feud and McCain's comments in just words. I do believe it is too one-sided and unprofessional so I think it is unreliable.

John McCain explains his remarks in his original C-SPAN interview. This is a television source as McCain shows up on The View and jokes with the hosts about his remarks pertaining to the President. We see a joking and laughing John McCain that is in contrast to his more serious C-SPAN interview. One thing this appearance does confirm is that he was indeed talking about Mr. Trump and wasn't afraid to say so. The parts with McCain speaking on the subject is reliable but the program as a whole is nowhere near a trustworthy political source.

Edmund DeMarche writes quick report on McCain's comments. The mostly conservative source had a surprisingly short article that didn't address McCain's comments being directed towards Trump but discusses it in the article. The fact that it doesn't say Donald Trump in the deadline seems surprising. I do believe Fox News is a reliable and professional source but on this subject, seemed to be lacking in content.

Sen. John McCain appeared to take a swipe at President Trump in an interview that aired Sunday when he called out the "highest income" Americans at the time who found a doctor to say they had a "bone spur" so they could avoid the Vietnam draft.

McCain was interviewed on C-CPAN3, American TV and talked about the war. The interview was wide ranging, but he mentioned the draft.

"We drafted the lowest income level of America and the highest income level found a doctor that would say that they had a bone spur," McCain said "That is wrong. That is wrong. If we are going to ask every American to serve, every American should serve."

The New York Times reported last year that Trump received a total of five military deferments during the war. Four were for education and one-in 1968-was the bone spurs in his heels. During that time, the U.S. inducted about 300,000 men into the military.

"I had a doctor that gave me a letter, a very strong letter on the heels," Trump told the paper.

Trump and McCain have maintained a tense relationship since Trump appeared on the political scene. Trump was widely criticized for his comment in June 2015 when he said McCain was not a war hero.

"He was a war hero because he was captured, " Trump said during the campaign. "I like people who weren't captured."

McCain, 81, languished for more than five years as a prisoner of war in Vietnam after his plane was shot down in 1967 during combat. McCain was released in March of 1973.

McCain revealed in a "60 Minutes" interview a few weeks ago that Trump never apologized to him for the comment.

McCain slams Americans who dodged Vietnam draft with 'bone spur'

Jonah Engel Bromwich explains McCain's quotes and the "bone spur" comment. The article seemed to be mostly neutral but did show signs of agreeing with McCain as it didn't really show quotes from Trump. I think the article did a good job at being as unbiased as possible. I feel as if this source was a very trustworthy and reliable source that seemed mostly unbiased.

On Monday, Mr. McCain appeared on "The View," where his daughter, Meghan, is a host, and repeated his comments. He said that while he did not consider Mr. Trump a draft dodger, the system had been so broken that "certain Americans could evade their responsibilities."

He did not deny that he had been talking about Mr. Trump, and was critical of the president for his past comments about prisoners of war.

But later, Mr. McCain insisted to reporters that he had not been talking about Mr. Trump, The Daily Beast reported.

"I was against that 40 years ago," Mr. McCain said. "So for you people to say that I'm taking a shot at Trump over that, then you don't know my record. It is unfair and unequal. The rich people didn't serve and poor people did. It has nothing to do with President Trump."

In an interview with The Times in 2016, Mr. Trump recalled the spurs as "temporary" and "minor," saying that they had not meaningfully affected him.

"I had a doctor that gave me a letter - a very strong letter on the heels," he said then.

The senator's comments on Sunday to C-Span followed a week of difficult questions for the White House over Mr. Trump's attitude toward military service, after a call from the president to the widow of a slain soldier ignited a firestorm. The controversy threatened to overshadow the president's agenda for a second week after the soldier's widow spoke out publicly on Monday morning.

Mr. McCain tends to vote in line with Mr. Trump's positions. But his remarks were a reminder of the simmering conflict between an unorthodox president and a senator who was shot down during the Vietnam War and subjected to abuse and torture for more than five years as a prisoner in Hanoi.

Mr. Trump, 71, and Mr. McCain, 81, have clashed frequently over the past several years. In July 2015, after the two exchanged barbs during the Republican primary contests, Mr. Trump said the senator was not a war hero, adding that he likes "people who weren't captured."

In July, Mr. McCain cast a deciding vote against a bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act, a measure that Mr. Trump had vocally supported. Mr. Trump, in turn, repeatedly attacked Mr. McCain on Twitter and at his rallies.

Mr. McCain's vote on health care came in the same month that the senator's office announced that he had brain cancer.

In response to the diagnosis, the president recognized an essential quality in a fellow Republican who has repeatedly spoken out against him. "Senator John McCain has always been a fighter," Mr. Trump said then.

Progressive radio and TV show host gives his take. This digital media show is in favor of McCain's shots at Donald Trump and seemed to be anti-Trump. Pakman called McCain's comments "perfectly true" and calls-out Republicans for being hypocrites. Pakman finishes out veterans that support Donald Trump. Although it does present itself professionally, I feel that the David Pakman show is too opinionated and doesn't seem to be a popular enough news source to be credible.

Tara Golshan writes in-depth article over McCain and Trump war of words. The article was good in explaining the history of the two men and where this argument stems from. It seems to be mostly impartial, but at the end seemed to explain that this is not a first-time thing for Trump and that his constant rude statements mixed with his failing bills causes frustration. The article seemed extensive in its' explanation of the feud and told the story accurately.

CNN's Chris Cillizza explains the on-going rivalry between Donald Trump and John McCain. The article is clearly in the opposition to Trump, and you can tell just by the headline. One positive of the article is that it gives McCain related Trump tweets which gives first-hand source information.  Correctly tells the story and gives background. I think CNN does have its biases but is still a trustworthy source that correctly tells the story.

"One aspect of the conflict, by the way, that I will never, ever countenance is that we drafted the lowest income level of America, and the highest income level found a doctor that would say they had a bone spur. That is wrong. That is wrong. If we are going to ask every American to serve, every American should serve."

While McCain didn't mention any names, anyone paying any sort of attention knows that he is talking about President Donald Trump, who received five deferments during the Vietnam War, including one for -- you guessed it! -- bone spurs.

Trump, despite being in generally good health at the time, received a diagnosis of bone spurs, which gave him a draft status that kept him out of the war. In an interview with The New York Times about the deferment, Trump was unable to remember the name of the doctor who had diagnosed him but noted: "I had a doctor that gave me a letter -- a very strong letter on the heels." He added that the problem was "temporary" and "minor." (Trump received four further education deferments.)

The "bone spur" shot is McCain's latest jab at Trump in a decidedly tempestuous relationship that dates back to at least 2015.

It was in July of that year that Trump, appearing at a conservative conclave in Iowa, said this of the Arizona Republican: "He's not a war hero. He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren't captured."

McCain spent almost six years in a North Vietnamese prison camp, where he was tortured and beaten. He suffered injuries that don't allow him to raise his arms above shoulder height.

Days later, asked whether he owed McCain an apology, Trump said, "No, not at all." He added, "People that fought hard and weren't captured and went through a lot, they get no credit. Nobody even talks about them. They're, like, forgotten. And I think that's a shame, if you want to know the truth."

Trump's tone changed on McCain over the summer of 2017 when the Arizona senator, shortly after being diagnosed with brain cancer, returned to Washington to participate in the debate over repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act.

"So great that John McCain is coming back to vote," Trump tweeted. "Brave - American hero! Thank you John."

That praise was short-lived, however, as McCain wound up casting the deciding vote against the Trump-backed repeal and replace plan.

"John McCain never had any intention of voting for this Bill, which his Governor loves," Trump tweeted in the wake of that vote. "He campaigned on Repeal & Replace. Let Arizona down!"

He added, "Democrats are laughingly saying that McCain had a 'moment of courage.' Tell that to the people of Arizona who were deceived. 116% increase!"

In an interview with "60 Minutes" last month, McCain insisted his vote against the health care bill wasn't revenge against Trump for the comments about his war service.

"If I took offense at everybody who has said something about me or disparaged me or something like that -- life is too short," McCain said. "You've got to move on. And on an issue of this importance to the nation, for me to worry about a personal relationship, then I'm not doing my job."

But McCain did note in that same interview that Trump had never apologized for the "I like people who weren't captured" line. And he made very clear that he doesn't hold a ton of respect for the life Trump has lived. Here's the key quote:

"He is in the business of making money, and he has been successful both in television as well as Miss America and others. I was raised in the concept and belief that duty, honor, country is the lodestar for behavior that we have to exhibit every single day." (Trump actually used to own the Miss Universe Organization.)

Oomph.

McCain can say what he wants about how his decisions regarding Trump are entirely unaffected by what Trump has said about him or the differences between the two paths the two men have taken in their lives. But it's clear there's not love lost between the two men.

Anderson Cooper and his guest discuss the feud of the Senator and the President. The clip was majorly in favor of McCain.
