President Donald Trump, already facing widespread rebuke for his attack on Sen. John McCain, stepped up his criticism in a speech on Wednesday in Ohio, at one point, sounding annoyed, saying « I gave him the kind of funeral that he wanted —- which as president I had to approve. I don’t care about this. I didn’t get a thank you. That’s okay. »
« We sent him on the way, Trump continued, « But I wasn’t a fan of John McCain.”
In the speech at a tank plant in Lima, Ohio, Trump claimed that McCain hadn’t properly advocated for veterans –« he didn’t get the job done » — and said veterans were « on his side. »
And he once again angrily recounted how he felt betrayed when McCain voted against repealing Obamacare.
“Not my kind of guy,” Trump said as the audience of union plant workers listened quietly.
