President Donald Trump is not letting up on his recent attacks of John McCain.
One day after telling reporters “I was never a fan of John McCain and I never will be,” Trump, 72, continued his bashing the late senator, who died in August at 81 from stage 4 brain cancer.
Speaking at a White House event at an Ohio tank manufacturing facility on Wednesday, Trump claimed he did not receive proper gratitude on behalf of McCain’s loved ones after “approving” his funeral service — which he did not attend — on Sept. 1.
“I endorsed him at his request and I gave him the kind of funeral he wanted, which as president I had to approve,” Trump said at the event, according to “The Washington Post”.
He then reiterated his comments from a day earlier, telling the crowd, “I don’t care about this… I didn’t get a thank you. That’s okay. We sent him on the way. But I wasn’t a fan of John McCain.”
