'Much like his wars, it never ended': Trump takes aim at John McCain’s funeral

26 April 2023

Former President Donald Trump recently took aim at the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) yet again. In his new book, "Letters to Trump," the former president mocked the late senator's funeral saying it was “much like his wars, it never ended.”

The remarks follow Trump and McCain's contention leading up to the senator's death.

Per Mediaite: "The longtime Arizona legislator and 2008 Republican presidential nominee had a tumultuous relationship with Trump."

The report also noted: "During Trump’s first run for the White House in 2016, McCain critiqued his 'uninformed and indeed dangerous statements on national security issues,' prompting Trump to mock McCain’s military service during the Vietnam War, which included a stint at a military prison camp where he was tortured."

Letters to Trump “reveals part of the incredible private collection of correspondence between President Trump and the countless world leaders, celebrities, athletes and business leaders who shaped the United States, and the world,” including communications with the late Arizona senator.

Trump also had critical remarks to say as he reflected on McCain.

“I never warmed to him,” wrote Trump, “never felt good about anybody having anything to do with John McCain and never will, even despite the fact that at their request, I gave him the world’s longest funeral, 11 days. Much like his wars, it never ended.”

The former president has a history of attacking the McCain family, even taking aim at the late senator's daughter, Meghan McCain.

“At the request of many of her [Meghan McCain’s] representatives, I made it possible for her father to have the world’s longest funeral, designed and orchestrated by him, even though I was never, to put it mildly, a fan,” continued Trump. “In his own very special way, he was a RINO’s RINO.”
