Seven years before dismissing John McCain as a ‘loser,’ Trump had glowing things to say about the senator and even a positive remark about Barack Obama, the ex-pal claims.
Meghan McCain clapped back at Donald Trump’s alleged comments about her late father John, noting that the loss of her dad is ‘incredibly painful & raw.’
Meghan McCain slammed Donald Trump on May 29, saying he’ll always be ‘deeply threatened’ by her late father, Sen. John McCain, after a report claimed POTUS wanted the USS John McCain ‘out of sight’.
Despite John McCain’s two daughters begging Donald Trump to stop insulting their dead father, POTUS laid into the late war hero yet again on March 21 by calling him ‘horrible’.
John McCain’s daughter Bridget has broken her silence to respond to Trump’s comments about the late senator’s funeral. The usually private 27-year-old did not hold back.
Donald Trump wants a pat on the back for giving John McCain the ‘kind of funeral that he wanted,’ even though he ‘wasn’t a fan’ of the U.S. senator. On top of it all, the POTUS disrespected the war hero in a tank factory.
