Trump: I called McCain a 'hero' four times

[A Perez]

Politifact rates Trump’s misleading spin as "mostly false", because context shows that Trump was making the point that he (Trump) does not think McCain is a hero.
Trump’s initial, caveat - free statement saying that McCain is not a hero is obviously what Trump believes.

Hey, Trump did call him a hero except it started with "McCain Isnt a War..."

None of his supporters denied he said it initially. In fact they doubled down. Now that he is backtracking you actually believe him? [emoji38]

McCain made sure Obama got his deal with Iran around Congress via the UN. The Corker Bill made it possible for the Iranian deal to go into effect without Senate oversight. John McCain, Bob Corker, and Lindsey Graham pushed it through.

Thanks John.

Yeah......and when he was running against Obama he was a shriveled up old man......right?

Yeah, but what does that have to do with Trump. Or is a Hero like a shriveled up old man? Because I disagree with that

Trump was trying to diminish McCain's war hero status. First it was McCain is not a war hero. Then it became McCain is a war hero because he was captured.

He is still a shriveled up old man. What did that have to do with what Trump said about him?

Exactly, according to Drumpf Truck even though McCain was shot down on his 23rd combat mission, he was not a "war" hero because of his 23 combat missions, but only because he survived the crash and was captured.

Funny how no one wants to produce an actual transcript, they want to para phrase with that oh not so true spin to it ...................

Funny how also everyone forgets to mention the fact McCain started the shit slinging by commenting Donald and 30,000 supporters were "crazies".

Now Donald and 30,000 folks think McCain is a piece of shit starting thrash.

That is the way the sane world see's it, then there is your side the left ..................

Such ******* drama queens ...........

Well respect certainly would not imply heroic.

Respect is earned, when you character assassinate others, they have little respect for you.

The GOP leadership wants to get rid of Trump
McCain, from time to time, does work with the GOP leadership
