Trump says he didn't get a 'thank you' for approving John McCain's funeral arrangements
President Donald Trump on Wednesday continued his streak of attacking the late Senator John McCain and complained to a crowd in Lima, Ohio that he was not thanked for approving the state funeral arrangements of the senator.
Trump, while addressing the crowd on Ohio, said: "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 ‘thank you,’ but that’s OK. We sent him on the way. But I wasn’t a fan of John McCain.” The members of the crowd included military members too who remained largely quiet when the president criticized the war hero.
Reports state that Trump did not attend McCain's funeral, and the request reportedly came from the senator's family and not the senator himself.
