30. After Trump thoroughly and explicitly insulted McCain by proclaiming he wasn't a war hero,

I'll always believe that Trump's staff warned him not to invoke the name of McCain's mother, Roberta. Not Cindy. Not Meaghan. Roberta McCain.

Like Barbara Bush, Roberta is the matriarch of the McCain family and fears nobody.

I'm sure that Trump was nearly giddy with the prospect of making a mocking comment of John McCain and his mother but he was stopped by those with far more wisdom than Trump will ever have.
