President Trump slammed late Republican Senator John McCain for the fourth time in five days yesterday (March 20th), reciting an extended list of grievances during an appearance at a plant that builds Army tanks in Ohio. Among Trump's complaints about McCain, who died last September of brain cancer, is that he wasn't thanked for his funeral. Trump said, "I gave him the kind of funeral 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." As he has in recent days, Trump also criticized McCain for having given a dossier alleging that Russia had compromising information on Trump to the FBI after the 2016 election and for casting the deciding vote against the so-called "skinny repeal" of the Affordable Care Act in 2017. In a new complaint yesterday, he also blasted McCain over the Iraq War, saying, "He was calling Bush,President Bush, all the time, 'Get into the Middle East, get into the Middle East.'" Trump has repeatedly attacked McCain, both before and after his death, including saying that he wasn't a war hero because he was captured during the Vietnam War. McCain spent more than five years as a prisoner of war in Vietnam.
