Donald Trump Claims He ‘Didn’t Get A Thank You’ For ‘Approving’ John McCain’s Funeral Amid Attacks
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.”
