Trump declared Tuesday at the White House: “I was never a fan of John McCain, and I never will be.”
Trump drew criticism over the weekend for tweeting insults about McCain, a Vietnam war hero, Arizona senator and 2008 Republican presidential candidate who died last year of brain cancer.
He repeated those attacks in the Oval Office, complaining about McCain’s vote against repealing President Barack Obama’s health care law.
Trump targeted McCain during the 2016 presidential campaign, saying the former prisoner-of-war was not a hero. Trump received a series of deferments to avoid serving in Vietnam, including one attained with a physician’s letter stating that he suffered from bone spurs in his feet.
…said the draft dodger about the A-4 Skyhawk attack pilot and war hero. Trump is disgusting.
Disgraced traitor trump is still attacking US HERO McCain? McCain in his grave has nore dignity and honor than corrupt goniff trump. DeutcheBank anyone?
Never was and never will be a fan of traitor trump. Watch how this supposedly “ohev yisroel” will turn on us once the schmaltz really hits the fan!!
Those who are fans of despots and dictators like Putin, Kim and MBS are usually not fans of those that fought for democracy. McCain is a hero. Trump is a pathetic and week man.
Saint John McCain was an evil racist nazi when he ran in ’08 it was only when he attacked Trump that the democrats and media who hated him claimed to love him when all he was was a vindictive backstabbing sore loser.
Y’all Democrats were all dissing him and y’all Republicans were worshiping him. All of you are hypocrites.
McCain is a loser. He got caught, was a pow, and he lost the presidency. If you can’t win at least beat the system like Trump.
