Trump said some crappy things about John McCain, too. John McCain was a hero in the Vietnam War. He was a prisoner-of-war. Trump said that he shouldn't have been captured----that it made him less of a man.

I was under the impression that was "fake news".
If he said that seriously, he is a stool tool.
Not fake news. You gotta watch mainstream news instead of just right wing outlets.
From memory, it was on The Wrong Planet, not Sky News.
There are insane people on WP, as well.

Don't be so hard on yourself.
You are simply misguided, not insane. <comfort>

Donald Trump criticises John McCain's 'war hero' credentials
Also: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/201 ... n-in-death
and: https://eu.freep.com/story/news/politic ... 741070002/ (the actual video is linked further down the page - it's 23 minutes of rambling, self-aggrandizing verbal diarrhoea but the part describing McCain as a loser starts around the 1:20 mark and leads into the BBC News clip of the same conversation, above)

I just read that many Republicans want him to run in 2024.

Trump called John McCain "a dummy" because he got caught.
He was outrageously joking around as he always does.
People who have a poor understanding of humour don't get it.
I get it. 
But this was before John McCain died.
What I am interested in is his actual comments after his death.
Videos are more credible than type.
If anyone has a video recording, please post.

If something is generally considered not funny it isn't a problem with people lacking a sense of humour, it's a problem with what the attempted comedian is using for material.

I find Trumps humour *generally* entertaining/amusing.
Am I a bad person?
BTW, If a progressive politician joked the same way, would that be OK?

The only humor Trump ever demonstrated was when insulting or denigrating someone else. Trump is too much of a malignant personality to display any other kind of humor.

If. What Trump said wasn't a joke - it was a mealy-mouthed attack on a decorated war veteran which, like strong independent women, terrify Trump. That's why he attacks them.
Remember the parents of the Gold Star veteran who were openly mocked by Trump?
I suppose that was just another case of him "outrageously joking around".

I wouldn't consider someone to be a bad person simply on the basis of what they laugh at. Further, I would actually agree with you that at least some of Trump's statements that get covered as being tonedeaf were probably attempts at humour.
I don't think this is one of them, McCain didn't just get 'caught', he was subjected to significant torture at the hands of his captors. There's plenty of jokes that would be fair to make at his expense, but haha you got shot down and tortured seems pretty tasteless no matter who's making it - you know, unless it's someone who lost a loved one after John McCain murdered them with his fighter plane. Outside of that scenario it's just tasteless and within that scenario it's not really a joke, it's just a dig at someone who wronged you.
