WATCH: Trump Mocks McCain Again After Snubbing Him at Signing of Bill Named in His Honor

https://www.mediaite.com/tv/watch-trump-mocks-mccain-again-after-snubbing-him-at-signing-of-bill-named-in-his-honor/


So apparently, Donald Trump won’t salute Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) while signing a bill with his name on it. But the president is still willing to take a personal swipe at the Arizona Senator.

Political observers took note on Monday when Trump signed the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act while making zero references to the Vietnam War veteran and senator after whom the bill was named. Trump followed this up by speaking at a fundraiser event for Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY). And this time, he (once again) made snide allusions about McCain casting the deciding vote against Obamacare rollbacks.

“ObamaCare, we got rid of the individual mandate, which is the most unpopular aspect,” said Trump. “I would’ve gotten rid of everything, but as you know, one of our wonderful senators said ‘thumbs down’ at 2:00 in the morning.”

The crowd booed over the reference to McCain.

An old school Republican that I can respect, even though he sits on the wrong side of the isle. Not like these others, they get no respect, don't deserve it
