'I was never a fan of John McCain, and I never will be.' Trump lashes out at the late senator from the Oval Office.

By John Wagner John Wagner National reporter leading The Post's breaking political news team Email Bio Follow March 19 at 1:02 PM President Trump took fresh aim Tuesday at the late senator John McCain, calling his 2017 vote on a health-care bill “a disgrace” and saying he never was and never would be a fan of the Arizona Republican, who died of brain cancer seven months ago.

“I’m very unhappy that he didn’t repeal and replace Obamacare, as you know,” Trump said, referring to McCain’s vote against overhauling the Affordable Care Act in July 2017. “I think that’s a disgrace, plus there are other things,” Trump said. “I was never a fan of John McCain, and I never will be.”Trump has fixated on the health-care vote since it occurred. Amid a spate of tweets over the weekend, the president called it a “stain” on McCain’s record and later took another swipe at him, falsely asserting that he was “last in his class” at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis.

RIP McCain..but he was dirty undercover democ-rat. Now lets move on!

Yeah we all remember your coverage of Johnny Mac during his presidential run you dip sharts...

costareports Trump matches up with McCain’s fungus encrusted toe nail.

Pos

What a fool this poorest of excuses for a President is!

Bet John McCain has many more fans than Trump will ever have ...and T keeps losing them....

Where r military to defend a war hero Mc Cain vs a draft dodger trump!

And your point is Everyone has the right to be or not to be a fan of anyone. This is America and every one of us know people we like and don't like. Why make it sound so uncommon?

costareports I can’t wait until realDonaldTrump is in jail and his assets are taken away from him and his family!

You'll never be half the man John McCain was either, which is probably the real reason underlying your disgraceful conduct.

No lash! Just truth telling! The media seems to forget how they treated McCain when he was running for president! Hypocrites

costareports I was never a fan of Kale and I never will be. And Kale is still available but McCain isn’t.

But he is dead has he ever heard of resting in peace!😳

Good, Trump is right McCain did his job like a spoiled brat just because Trump challenged his position he copped an attitude and voted on important things to bash the president and did not vote to support the American people.

costareports Captain bone spurs would have been killed in friendly fire in nam

costareports Well I have a thing to disclose...neither was I repuberetards whether peepeeprez or mccain are lower than 🐍 in grass in my book. MyBodyMyDecision stay out of my body & bedroom!!!!

One of Donald Trump's best lines of the year.

THAT'S OK , JOHN MCCAIN,WAS NEVER A FAN OF FAKE BONE SPURS EITHER !!! HERO VERSES COWARD !!!

McCain: American hero. trump: future inmate.

He's obviously a very sick individual. So SAD, SO SO SAD!

He is truthful on this. Anyone who loves Putin so dearly and Chairman Kim can't be a fan of McCain.

Please Twitter ban Donald Trump

Like I tell my high school freshman. You don't have to like someone but you can respect their accomplishments, but their 14 , way more mature than Trump

America is not a fan of Trump and never will be..

Why is this so newsworthy when so many people say daily they are no fan of trump

The Bronze Star Medal, unofficially the Bronze Star, is a United States decoration awarded to members of the United States Armed Forces for either heroic achievement, heroic service, meritorious achievement, or meritorious service in a combat

Has he actually ever said why he’s not a fan or is it more of the same-generalization and vagueness?

He is not alone! 75 % of Congress didn’t like him either! Yes, it’s sad to see a member pass so the Respectful thing to do is say the nicest things you can MAKE UP! Sorry MEGYN! It’s a fact! But nobody would love him more than you! He is your Father !

What a pathetic man. I will be glad when the press goes days without mentioning this liar’s name.

realDonaldTrump wishes to be hslf of the men John McCain was

should he have been in the rose garden instead?

The Washington Post wants us to think being honest is bad. Trump has the integrity to speak honestly. That’s something the WP doesn’t have.

tRUMP is a fan of every despot in the world but hates men of morals, convictions and love of country. McCain makes Rumpty Dumpty look like a whiney 2 year old. Oh wait that is RUMPS mental age. realDonaldTrump

costareports Hey realDonaldTrump we aren’t wild about you either. And rest at ease, when your gone no one will talk about you.

Best compliment McCain can get. To he hated by trump is to be known as a real hero.

donny boy is a waste of time to try and understand how a 3 year old mind works

I'm sure you're cellmate won't be either. It won't make a difference though - You'll still make a great prison bride to some dude named Biff. Enjoy.

I agree. A nasty vindictive angry little man

costareports Li’l Donnie Petty Man.

Jerk

Not I.

Whether u r a fan or not is not relevant. McCain was an honorable man who served his country and made his decisions from his conscience. Too bad we can’t say the same for Trump

All those hypocrites who claim to support our troops sold their souls to this fraud. Shame

Say's the one no one is a fan of either! How bitter to be the MOST HATED HUMAN ON PLANET EARTH!

CadetBoneSpurs strikes again! ripJohnMcCain

Trump Freak..

...because you’ll never be good enough to BE a fan of this hero. Stick that in your hat...realDonaldTrump, impeachTrump,TrumptyDumpty

And he wasn’t a fan of yours !!

Me either; he was a sad disappointment

i wish i could sing like robert plant but i don’t cry myself to sleep and mean tweet about him

What a pathetic man.

McCain will be remembered long after you fade into oblivion..

I’ll take Captain McCain over the coward trump any time, any place, any way. Trump once called those who served losers because they were stupid for serving.

John McCain, was everything that tRump is not, and can NEVER be.

Shame to lash out at a person who can not defend himself

Trump is a Traitor to everything that’s American! Why do Republicans stand with that crooked thug?

Donald you should be ashamed !

WHAT A SMALL SMALL SAD REPRESENTATION OF A MAN, LET ALONE THE PRESIDENT OF THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. THIS COUNTRY WAS ALWAYS GREAT AND HE IS DEGRADING IT WITH HIS DISPARAGING SPEAKING.

Why are you so disrespectful President Trump

McCain was a patriot and a hero, and realDonaldTrump is a con man and an organized crime boss

He’s a fan of North Korea’s dictator though. Loves how his people worship him

Served with honor in military but sucked as politician.

De mortuis nil nisi bonum [about the dead nothing unless good] - a sentiment that goes back to Ancient Greece and personified by Shakespeare. Something over which Tinhorn Trump, at his most uncouth, has obviously and completely ridden roughshod. Trump = Brutus?

Nobody ask you to be a fan. It nobody ask you for your opinion

trump is a very ill creature. There is nothing better l could call it.

I was never a fan of John McCain either, and I never will be. I had him for my own sanity or when I lived in Arizona for about eight years. He was a liberal Democrat then and he was still one when he died.

So district of ny can’t wait for trump.

What a worthless human being Trump is.

Trump is a small, small man to attack an American hero and a man who no longer works this earth! He’s insane!!!

Any dump McCain took has more morality than Trump

So classy.

Never a fan of Trumps snd never will be. I prefer men who are not sniveling brats, who don’t cheat on their wives, and are honest every day, ALL DAY!

No President has ever sanctioned Russia or N. Korea like Trump has. Show me where the love affair is. He’s also done more to try making a necessary relationship with both countries. And that is the key to lasting peace.

There will be billions of people saying that about Trump for decades.

Great sentence. Let me try it out: 'I was never a fan of Donald Trump, and I never will be.' Yup. Great sentence.

costareports The feeling is mutual

Being a Vietnam Vet I have tremendous respect for the Senators heroism but I was not a fan of his political positions.

Keeping it classy.

Characteristics of a coward, attack or character assassination a dead person

You couldn't make this shit up!!! He's the president!!!! 😂😂😂😂

Spend five years in a POW camp being tortured beyond belief and then get back to us you entitled pansy!!

He doesn't have to like him but the man is dead, give him and his family a little respect........

JoanBen46634671 McCain was a traitor his whole life! Read what his fellow POWs say about him!!

Of course trump wasn’t a fan of McCain. McCain was intelligent, decent, brave and an American hero. Things trump will never be.

The president is a traitor, unfit to be president

McCain is everything u’ll never be ; Family men , war hero, senator elected without Putin help etc ...... So leave him alone cuz he can’t answer you back

Ans vice versa spanky

Trump is only doing this (besides depraved indifference): He's reminding the GOP he owns them! By attacking one of their heroes; and, knowing they will not strike back at him; he's showing America he owns their souls. Don't miss the point.

Disgusting!

John McCain wise 10x the man you will ever be. You will never match his greatness

Why does he think he wasn’t invited to his funeral ?

When Trump dies, I predict that people will dance in the streets!!!!

Why was he not a fan? Because John McCain served our country as a statesman and a soldier and Trump did not? Because McCain had real friends and he does not? Because McCain was an honest, good man and Trump is a liar and a cheat?

McCain was a war hero but became a one-man obstructionist the last couple of years if his life. He didn’t get elected and Trump did.

I doubt that Senator McCain or his family ever wanted you to be “a fan”. You speak about others who have given service to our country in such a disrespectful manner. You are an embarrassment as our President.

Same to you, I think? From the ACTUAL majority of the USA.

Sad, that you are the President of the U. S. A. And you still feel, like a worm, in comparison to a dead person. I guess you are, what you feel like.

of course he wasn't a fan! trumps cronies clearly show he doesn't recognize or value honor or integrity realDonaldTrump

And Trump is not good enough to stand in McCain’s very shadow.

He'll never be the man John McCain was, either.

He represents everything you can never be and your jealousy is apparent.

Anyone who votes for this deranged man should be ashamed.

All of us who voted for Hillary but watched him and Putin pull off a coup and rob her of the presidency were never fans of his and obviously never will be. What a heartless ass!

LowLife POS POTUS

So what he was another Kennedy in repub underwear

costareports I disagreed with many of McCain's actions & inclinations, but I also saluted him for his accomplishments, as when on the campaign trail in 2008, he corrected a woman for falsely attacking BarackObama, and for his courage as a POW. realDonaldTrump isn't capable of such grace.

Even from the grave he's a better influence on America than you ever will be

Yeah, but that’s only because McCain had balls...

John McCain lied to stay in power. Who ever voted for him must have felt betrayed . He is the sort of so called hero the left worship

That’s a shame, because Sen. McCain always spoke so highly of him. 🤣

Because McCain represents the embodiment of everything Trump has run away from or pretended to be.

costareports You don't have to be a fan realDonaldTrump but don't be a mf and disparage something you were to cowardly to do.

Trump is a disgusting president

POTUS is such a joke...

costareports Of course Trump is no fan of John McCain and it is not too difficult to understand why. McCain was one of the few Republican leaders to stand up to him; moreover, he was widely respected as a hero and a statesman, two things that no one will ever be able to honestly say of Trump.

McCain destroyed his legacy by lying about Obamacare just to get elected in AZ. From hero to zero, sad ending. 🤠

There is something seriously wrong with Trump. Why can't he let the late John McCain rest in peace? This is definitely an obsession. It says a lot about the state of his mind and his unfitness for office. An individual as unhinged as this should not be the commander in chief.

Donald Trump is a mound of respiring fecal matter

A coward attacks a man when he can't speak for himself TrumpCoward McCainHero

...and for this reason(and many more..) THIS POTUS is a POS!!!

John McCain wasn’t a fan of Donald trump.

You all do know that this Putin Ass Clown is putting on a show, right?You do know that Trump knows that everybody with a brain is aware that he's a Pile You do know that he Babbles a Shiny Object every day, on purpose, right Yo do know Trump is a ConMan, right?

Why aren't more politicians talking about Trump's cowardly excuse (bonespurs) to avoid the Vietnam war? Because a good numbers of them probably used the a similar excuse themselves.

Trumps only laying on McCain now because he was too scared of him while he was alive.

costareports What a disgrace tRump is to our America.

Totally unnecessary and classless.

Johnny RINO!!

costareports Shame on Trump. He is such a cruel and obnoxious man. And he represents our Country!! LOCK HIM UP!!

At least the late Senator John McCain was not a criminal a child rapist or an adulterer. Trump you are a true monster. You and all the criminal Republicans.

costareports I'm not a fan of realDonaldTrump ... and I never will be, even when he's dead.

Horton47Robin WTF is this attack on McCain really about? The Steele Dossier?

I wish Trump would understand that as President, his personal views aren't important. Who cares what he thinks as a private citizen. He speaks for the country and should honor McCain because of his service to this country. And I didn't like his politics at all!

.... Aahh... And John Spoke So Highly.. .... Of You.... (NOT). .... John.. Caring Man... War Hero... .... Donnie.. Bone Spurs.. Draft Dodger... .... 🤔.. Whose To Choose... .... Take Your💊And Go To🛌🛌🛌... 🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌

Trump: John McCain was more of an American than you will ever be!!!

Jealous of the kind of man you will never become?

costareports

damn let this man rest in peace

costareports I will never be a Trump fan...ever...never ever ever...never!

Is this a new low for Trump? Bullying someone who is dead? Be Best!

costareports bonespur realDonaldTrump attacking a war hero?

costareports it is happening.Everyday Trump feels more and more emboldened and empowered. Everyday when he does bizarre things and people like McConnell allow it (like this fake emergency at the border)Trump learns that he is untouchable. Something we can not come back from is on the horizon.

I don't give a rats ass what realDonaldTrump thinks. trump is a sociopath. Even in death, McCain still gets under trump's skin.

Ya'll are gonna lose your minds when he is re-elected in 2020. Better start bracing yourselves now, unless you can deradicalize the left and give the people a more centrist option.

No respect at all pathetic

costareports If you are a veteran how do you support this president and these comments. Talking shit about someone who cannot defend themselves. There is no place for this in America or the world for that matter.

Yup. That is the president of the United States-draft dodger spitting on the grave of an American hero. The Trump inc con job. ImpeachTrumpNow Comey RepAdamSchiff TomSteyer realDonaldTrump

costareports What say you now Lindsey?

costareports I think 1 of the reasons is that djt is envious of people who have courage, & they are willing to sacrifice themselves in order to protect others. Also an attribute of courage is integrity, & sadly djt posses neither.

costareports It is well past time for all Senate and House leaders, both Republican and Democrat, to publicly condemn Trump’s uncivil comments about Senator McCain. The time for talk is over. The time for action on the floor is now.

Of course you’re not. John McCain was a man of honor, respect, pride, and leadership to this nation. And he left a great legacy. That’s something you are not and will never do.

costareports classy

Being a liberal Democrat, I did not agree with McCain on many issues, but I respected him for being a true American patriot. I have always known POTUS realDonaldTrump was stinking toxic garbage, so I have never been a TraitorTrump fan, and I never will be.

costareports Guess what trump the feeling was mutual

A ** wipe

costareports He may have died but his vile, selfish acts of revenge live on to the detriment of all Americans. Tens of millions of us share Trump’s righteous anger despite being repulsed by his vengeance.

costareports Because your repeal and replace plans SUCKED

costareports While hosting a foreign leader ? Really ? No boundaries, no filters, no sensibilities and no dignity. And, a seriously insecure, unconfident gasbag. Imposter syndrome (amongst his other mental/emotional disabilities) ?

costareports That's because John McCain was an American Hero, you never will be.

costareports I was never a fan of realDonaldTrump, and I never will be.

More active measures by Trump and Russia

safetstop Trump lashes out at the late Senator John McCain because he knows he will never get the the admiration or love this country holds for this Vietnam Veteran. Trump dodged the draft due to imaginary bone spurs. History will not ever put him on the list of most admired Presidents.

He simply expresses his frustration that he will never be able to achieve the greatness and integrity of character that John McCain had, nor the wide recognition he has in the majority of the population.

McCAIN IS MORE OF A MAN THAN TRUMP EVER COULD BE. Heard quote of Alexander Dumas today -'What makes a man is what he does when the storm comes.' Trump will never match up to Sen.McCain in this world or next! Next life- how about a snake-destroys all in its path; you've experience

costareports John McCain was everything you are not and you never will be, you are so jealous and insecure, you are nothing but a 2 year old little boy who wants to play with the BIG boys, but you don't have what it takes, you are pathetic and pitiful, nobody wants to play with you either!

costareports realDonaldTrump Of course you have a problem with John McCain. He was a war hero, had integrity & you know you'll never measure up. You on the other hand avoided the draft with a bone spur, & can't even remember which foot it was on. You are pathetic example of a human being.

You should be more worried about that 42% of people who like your president....they all love him because he is a bully, and he bullies even the dead. This should speak volumes about HIS supporters, you fellow Americans who LOVE trump....birds of the same feather....

costareports Why didnt he tell him to his face before he died? Oh I know. He has a short supply of guts.

what a puke potus is....really

costareports Most Americans aren’t a fan of yours and never will be

I don't give two hoots. He is dead and you are obsessed with him. Why? 25thAmendmentNow

He hates him so much he cannot stop talking about him. Sounds normal.

costareports And we are not a fan of yours either!!

THE COUNTRY DOES NOT HAVE GREAT HEALTH CARE realDonaldTrump

Repeat after me... I AM NOT A FAN OF THE PATHETHIC LOSER DONALD TRUMP & NEVER WILL...realDonaldTrump jax_persists MSNBC TheDemCoalition LatinosMatter latinovictoryus ananavarro cspan CNN Ruby74698396

Disrespectful ghoul.

costareports Saying he's not a fan constitutes 'lash[ing] out'? LOL

John McCain is the meaning of a Great American. realDonaldTrump

Disgusting and sick thing to say, one might think or feel this way but should have never made the statement publicly, this is deplorable, a complete lack integrity, a person of no character, Trump is suppose to be our President representing the American People and our country.SAD

costareports

costareports Trump is trying to kill McCain's chances of reelection.

The man needs professional help.

costareports John McCain was never a fan of Putin or his Puppet.

Mueller investigation must have Trump freaked out if he's tweeting about John McCain.

costareports What a pathetic President we have.

costareports I was never a fan of Trump and I will never be

costareports Neither were most conservatives-which is why McCain lost his presidential election.

costareports Nice of you to sell his propaganda again! Stop ✋

What a jerk 🤒

Just when I thought he couldn’t be a bigger jerk.

Just shows you have no morals

There’s a reason why Trump was banned from McCains’ funeral.

Is this a bulletin board for slackers and wastrels? 🤣

And yet the left beat up Michael Jackson...

It’s nice to know that after seven months the great hero John McCain is still pissing this idiot of a president off. BeBest John. RIP. The country has your back on this one.

Disgusting draft dodger vs decorated war hero?

Class

And I am not Trump fan and NEVER WILL...

Who Cares realDonaldTrump FREAKISH FAKE poor excuse of a Man. Bone spur 5 deferment Military Dodger.

Jealous much?! Will never be half the man he was, nor shine his shoes. You are a complete & utter embarrassment, narcissistic sham and shell of a human being. Worthless to all.. Especially our country. You will forever be known as most despised POTUS!!! realDonaldTrump

Class act, as always.

How very sad. What leadership we have.

Trump is afraid of his strength, his memories which we cherish and the backbone he has had all his life. Unfortunately POTUS doesn't have a backbone, hides behind others and is a bully. Why speak ill of the dead. Bad karma comes back to one who does that...waiting

What is his obsession? Psych evaluation needed.

This may be one reason why ....

Putz.

Just the fact that he continues to lash out over an individual who has passed away is proof that he isn’t a fit human being let alone a fit president.

McCain was not popular at the end in Arizona.

traitorTrump does not have the ability to act like anything but a toddler. he should never have been allowed to infect the white house.

You could never live up to McCain, he served his country, you are serving yourself, no president has been more destructive, yep the economy is doing great, have you looked at the deficit?

You were never a man like John McCain and you never will be either

So the democrats also pick and choose which republicans they stand up for. Hint: he agreed with the democrats. Hypocrisy at work by the democrats.

I think Trump can not tolerate McCaine because McCaine was and will always be the real thing.

You’re. Childish. Period. realDonaldTrump

Maybe because McCain was everything you wished to be but lacked the character and integrity to achieve in life? Perhaps a prison sentence will give you, “Don the Con”, a better perspective, you pathetic soul.

John McCain was a perfect imperfect human being who cared more for this country than the wholly self-serving traitor and sociopath currently in the white house can even begin to comprehend.. No one will ever have anything but contempt for trump and his crimes against America...

Me neither

That would make John proud!

. . . I agree trump 😂

I don’t care if you are not a fan of McCaine, but at least show a little common respect!!!

McCain was a commie.

Mcain was a traitor

I can see why now Trump was never a fan. I was fooled too & voted for McCain, sorry he turned out to be a traitor.

So I’m guessing he voted for Obama in 2008?

You are a coward. He was a hero. I can see where you would not be a fan. As an American, you should appreciate what others did while you were nursing (or milking) your 'spurs'.

Neither was I and I'm an Arizonan. We mostly hated him

I can't think of a worse person than trump. Seriously.

I was always a big fan, but then I decided to be a space heater. Now I simmer them with my warmth!

No, he was answering a question.

Because McCain was a man the orange fool can never be

What idipt wd have for a POTUS. Continually attack a deceased man. A man who served / dedicated his life to the service of his country, and did so proudly. Come on little donald, try to limit your childish barbs / tantrums to the living. To those that can defend themselves.

John McCain is honored, loved, and respected then Trump could ever wish for! Trump is just plain jealous!!!

He's a crazy, vindictive, evil man. This too will backfire on him.

😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

I don’t understand how this topic is worthy of a WaPo article.

He's transparent. You ask him a question he's going to answer it honestly. Why set him up for this unless it's intentionally? Can't argue Russia collusion anymore huh? Fake news

Wow. I guess realDonaldTrump feels like a patriot now. How pathetic

Someone is a little jealous

realDonaldTrump . That is exactly how a child acts. Just because you aren't a fan of someone doesn't mean you say hateful things about them. Even malign them after death. Obviously, you are filled with hate. I feel sorry for you.

SMH

As a AZ Republican voter, I can assure you, he was not beloved here......

If this is all your campaign can sustain itself on for 2020 is attacking an American War Hero Veteran then maybe you are not fit for the Presidency of the United States of America! SenJohnMcCain MeghanMcCain

Saying you aren't a fan= lashing out now

He uses him as a decoy.

Keep your hate for others to yourself and or share with your therapist.

Although many can’t grasp it Mr McCain tried to undermine the President of the United States. To label him Benedict Arnold is not a stretch. In George Washington’s day think what the penalty would have been.

The Americans were never a fan of yours so stop screaming at us thru the tv & twitter you TWIT.

Why does America put up with this crap?

Why does TrumpTheLoser obsess everyday about Senator McCain? Has he returned from the dead and set up house in Trump’s psychotic brain? Trump needs medical care ASAP.

NOBODY should be a can of Traitor SenJohnMcCain!!! Do your research & free yourself from these LIES & DECEPTION!!! Many vets have talked about & revealed the treachery of this man.

Hasn’t said anything nearly as bad as how the press and TheDemocrats treated mccain during his presidential campaign.

“I was never as decent a human being as John McCain, and I never will be. There, fixed it for ya realDonaldTrump.

I share his sentiments, because I have paid attention to McCain's actions.

Middle school antics to keep focus off failure to govern (Middle East, Mexico/Wall, no cuts to Medicare or Social Security, Infrastructure, Trade Wars, NoKo, Obamacare, Opioids...can't. Type. Any. More. Exhausted.) AmateurHour

He became a criminal years ago I’m in a military family he was not a hero once you find out the truth it’s my opinion

That’s the way cowards go about, attacking those that are superior to them in every which way. Trump is nothing more than a piece of disposable trash that will never achieve being a real man less a statesman like McCain. Eat your heart out Donald!

...isn't this opinion of McCain that of Putin also?

Nor will I. McStain was a disgrace to our country.

Disgraceful disgusting human being.

John McCain owns acres of real estate in this clowns cranium. It's not worth much but bet he'd be pleased nonetheless.

Because he was a brave man something you would never understand.

You don’t have to be a fan but don’t spit Venom at a person who is more respected that you and who fought and sacrificed himself for our country, unlike you.

Talk to me again about civility.

Trump's lack of the traits of decency, courtesy, selflessness, and respect remind me of what I've read and watched about Ted Bundy; a sociopath. While Trump is no killer, he has the framework of mind to easily dehumanize and use people to his purpose in the most shameful ways.

Because SenJohnMcCain is an admired patriot, and Trump will always be a corrupt criminal traitor, who will end up in prison.

But a fan of Putin and Kim and any other autocrat out there. Hey LindseyGrahamSC what say you. Cowards both of you

president turd

realDonaldTrump speaks for many Americans that know A from a bullfrog. WeStandWithTrumpKAG🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

McCain can wear that as a badge of honor. Sometimes enemies & critics say as much about a man as his friends & admirers. Better to be loathed by Trump than loved given Trump’s base character.

realDonaldTrump such a nasty human...and I stutter even saying human

Me either. Globalist progressive.

What a horribly pathetic man.

speaking ill of the dead is moral turpitude

LindseyGrahamSC this will be you too

Fitting comment for everything. If people don’t understand why he doesn’t deserve to sit in the WH after this comment; you are as twisted as him.

McCain was a traitor

Trump is despicable.

The little boy in Donald never stops hurting. Big boys don’t cry - obviously they lashes out even on those who passed away. Donald, you can keep going on for the rest of your life.

POTUS realDonaldTrump 🤥🤡 Deutsche Bank

Probably because he showed some decency and respect for those who didn’t agree with him!

Trump is only a fan of Trump

😡😡😡😡😡

MeToo

Trump never forgives someone he can't corrupt. John McCain's friend, Lindsay Graham, submitted to Trump's threats instead of maintaining McCain’s ethical standards. Trump’s behavior suggests that his business model has always been one of humiliating opponents.

That’s because he is SMARTER and BRAVER than you will ever be!!!!!

Trump2020

A true American and hero which trump will never be.

Disgraceful human being

How bout Obama?

Scary, scary, alien being of a shallowed man that I truly feel sorry for.

I H8 Trump, always have & always will! $$0l=!

Trump may be taller than John McCain was, but compared with McCain the man, DJT can't be seen without a very strong microscope. He is a nothing burger.

Trump made it official today. Donald J. Trump is a coward and the greatest America Traitor in the history of the United States.

Y’all hated McCain when he ran against Obama though

Every time he says stuff like this, he loses another percentage point of the independent/undecided vote. Keep it up, Trumpty Dumpty.

That’s because he will always be a reminder that you were a gutless wimp when it came to serving in Vietnam.

What’s sad as well as hypocritical is that most of the respondents here were not fans of John McCain either.

McCain is standing at the gates of heaven and will be interesting to see how Trump will get past him.

I have never been a fan of the morally bankrupt realDonaldTrump, and never will be.

He’s so jealous of everyone. He only wants everyone to like him. If he doesn’t feel like everyone does, then he has to attack people he feels like everyone likes. He wasn’t loved as a child and it shows.

MeghanMcCain

realDonaldTrump cannot get along with anybody. NOT even dead people 😂

I never was either... He made too many selfish choices, because of being butthurt from not winning the presidency himself... Pure jealousey led him to the decisions he made and because President Trump never respected him... A lot of people don't respect McCain...

You sound like an elementary aged kid who has a crush on someone, and the only way you know how to express it is by bullying.

trumps is a disgusting excuse for a human being

OMG...realDonaldTrump attacks a dead man when he has more than enough living opponents.

So...this is who YOU are. Whether you're Trump himself or one of his anti-American followers; if you support this kind of hateful rhetoric toward our military members, then you're an embarrassment devoid of what is actually good about this nation. JohnMcCain Trumpbonespurs

'I was never a fan of John McCain, and I never will be.' Hardly a 'lash out'

You know with all this talk one would think he's not dead. Don't tell me he faked his death. Wonder why?

McCain was a spoiled punk; worst student in his class; fucked up and got shot down; leveraged that into a political career; married an heiress; and settled in to a life at the trough, courtesy of the UniParty, America be damned. He was the definition of Swamp Creature.

conservatism in 2019.

...and friends and just plain citizens who are quite ready to stand up for him. this is definitely not working for the Donald, but he's so blind to reality right now he can't get off that track.

I think he knows he's done for and in his narcissistic manner has to put someone else in his place at the bottom the heap, someone who can't fire back. Fortunately, he picked the wrong man: a hero, a true hero to all Americans and someone who has a multitude of loving family...

“Lashes out”. Trump answered the question honestly. The language tricks are old and hack.

Can the dead RIP

What on earth is wrong with him? What adult behaves like this? His parents should be ashamed of the terrible job they did raising him.

McCain is braver than you. I think you will never achieve what he achieves

Trump is a worm nxt to Sen. McCain.

So not ALL veterans deserve praise. Noted. Thanks Mr. President.

You don't have to be a fan. Just show respect for an old war veteran.

Hey idiotbafoonmoroninchief realDonaldTrump. Just saying..

A hell of a lot of us have never been a fan of the Idiot-POTUS who has never been a fan of John McCain.

The privileged draft dogger versus the war hero life long public servant. I no where my money is.

We watched it... Lol there was no ‘ lashing’ Who owns u Amazon?

With John McCain politics were about ideals and people offering different solutions about how to best help the country I may have agreed with some, disagreed with others but always felt a sincerity in his position We could use more John McCains in the world

McCain was a deep state swamp rat

So says the Traitor !

We expected that the occupant of the Office of POTUS would be a person, who gave proper respect to those that have serviced our nations military, especially one who has done so with the distinguished life of Sen. John McCain, especially by one who hasn't made any sacrifices.

The only fans John McCain had were liberal progressives and RINO's. He was definitely not a friend to conservatives.

Yep ....

That’s because he was and is still a better man than you Mr Trump!

Trump will be haunted till forever by Mc Cain. By Obama. By Hillary. Just like Scrooge. Visited by 3 ghosts. Except there is no happy ending for the WH or T Tower or any of his clubs or homes. Because he can't escape from himself. But he doesn't know that.

DAMN I love reading stupid comments from stupid fin jack wads. McCain was worse than Benedict Arnold . At least we KNEW about that TURN COATS agenda. He screwed over his comrades and screwed over us Arizonans.

Trump has a connection to McCain. He also has brain malfunctions. Trump's Personality Disorder and moronic development, shows he is not capable of, intelligent. conservation with Adults. He is a Child without proper supervision. His advisors are his more intelligent, Children.

Recognize that Trump is a Narcicist Racist hypcrite Bigot and fool. Unfortunately he has con a lot of likewise Americans. The Americans are called REPUBLICANS GOP whitenationalist whitesupremist & Racist. No question, America needs to make it right, ImpeachTrump

Is this the day he became presidential?

And McCain is still winning from the grave and El Trumpo is still proving himself to be a sleazy con man.

In my humble opinion, that single remark by the loathsome person in our Oval Office should be reason enough for everyone who voted for him in 2016 to vote for anyone but him for 2020. He is such an AMORAL human being! MINE CNNPolitics maggieNYT mitchellreports MeetThePress

...Causing Graham to detach his lips from the Trumpian bottom for just a moment before Lindsey remembered who he is and resumed with vigor.

Yet he's obsessed with him. And I think the feeling was mutual.

Can we stop calling LindseyGrahamSC McCain’s best friend now? Because if someone talked this much smack about my dead bestie I for sure would slap that look off your face.

I was never a fan of “Individual-1,” and I never will be, because he is nothing other than a Lying Liar Con Man. WORST PRESIDENT IN HISTORY!

I'm sure he was no fan of you, Traitor-in-Chief, and neither am I. You're beneath the mud under his boots.

He was a war hero, but he was also a traitor at the end.

He was never a fan of John McCain because McCain was never a fan of his. McCain is dead and gone let him rest in peace.

CLASS-LESS, attempting to change the narrative from the SDNY investigation.

Never gonna let go of a grudge are you, realDonaldTrump? What a sad, petty, little man you are. 😕 TuesdayMorning

He was a war hero and Sharon Stone's cousin - Head of state

Total lack of character, honesty and decency is what you have and the GOP that stands behind you.

I was never a fan of people who cower to dictators and I never will be

Trump is not human, he is a beastly animal, a monster .....

do we really care these guys dont like each other?

It's really a shame that Trump will never experience the outpouring of pure joy and happiness the world over when he dies. Remember this moment in the future when you feel bad for his family.

Let’s put Trump in a cage and invite people to poke at him with sharp sticks for five years.

So in other words, I’m still pouting and can’t believe Senator McCain voted country over party. Furthermore, I’m still the same vindictive prick I was when i got elected.

There is a new evidence that John McCain was deceptive and manipulative and trying to bring down trump. You guys are reporters and should figure that out, but you’re lying biased manipulative and push your own agenda over truth. WP propaganda for the left. Nothing more

I wish this nightmare was over. 😞

You liberals realize Trump just said what his entire voting block thinks about McCain too right? This isn't ground breaking or shocking stuff. It's what everyone on the right thinks about mccain and did long before he died.

I was never a fan of Donald trump, and I never will be.

Boy just when you think he can’t be more inane he goes to s new level! Shithole President would be a step up realDonaldTrump GOPLeader senatemajldr Do something! He’s a disgusting disgrace

What a coward - to speak negatively about a dead war hero!

Probably because McCain was well-respected by the vast majority Americans. Jealousy is a stinky cologne.

Utterly disgraceful... just awful.

Trump is only a fan of himself!

It’s disgusting for Trump, from the Oval Office, to relentlessly attack someone who’s no longer alive to defend himself. The silence from his own party, their refusal to condemn his hate speech, is even more disgusting!

So this is the way trump show respect to national heroes Even after the death of McCain? Just when you think someone can’t go any lower, leave it to trump to find a way to do so 🤦🏽‍♂️

Put a cork in it lol

But he loves Kim Jong Un and Papa Putin. Got it. TrumpTheTraitor

Trump:

Always has to act like a big man in front of foreigners and ends up.being a cringeworthy fool.

Donnie, Donnie, Donnie... I was never a fan of Senator McCain, either. We disagreed on most things. But, geezis, man... have some dignity about you. Didn't your father ever tell you not to speak ill of the dead? Weak. Sad.

McCain is a dead person, Trump is a (sick-sick-sick) living person. I wish it was the opposite.

His voters, Fox News, Corporate America, Supreme Court, Senate agree with him, that’s a fact. The ugly truth but nothing but the truth!!!

A TRAITOR!! Period!!!

Is this Trump guy a machine or alien in human form that has no respect for the DEAD.....what's his problem go fund your wall from your money and let the world be at peace LAIR !!!

He hates people who honorably served while daddy was buying him deferments.

I second that sentiment.

RIP John--- but he over-used his POW experience for 45 years. Like that Democrat who was punched by a cop 50 yrs ago and keeps getting re-elected because he was a 'hero'

What an asshole, no one said you have to like him, but for god's sake have some respect for the dead, if not for a war hero. GOP you people have enabled this behavior, history will judge you on how you handled this cheeto dusted moron, and history will not be kind.

Brutal honesty , love it.

John McCain and his family had a long history of service to this country. Trump has nearly destroyed it in only 2 years. Who's your hero?

He’s still butthurt he wasnt invited to the funeral

You sad little man realDonaldTrump

John McCain’s involvement in the unsubstantiated Steele dossier will forever be a stain on his legacy.

Trump is pathetic

Always good to see the rest of his silent, cowardly and complicit Grand Old Party lashed to this particular mast. It's like Al Capone whacking a guy repeatedly with a baseball bat and the rest of the mobsters at the table pensively but wordlessly smoking their cigars.

Draft dodger is not a fan of a war hero and Patriot. Interesting.

Well McCain wasn’t a fan of trump or Putin either, go figure...

Not that he was on them to start, but this man is completely off the rails.

Because he saw you for what you are a fraud. TrumpCrimeFamilyMustGo

Trump is the greatest

BUT BUT BUT CIVILITY?!?!?!

When a pig grunts, I'm never surprised.

I'm all for digging him up and shipping his remains to GITMO.

What a piece of crap. This is a sad time for America.
