Hours before President Donald Trump was set to give his State of the Union address on Tuesday, details started to emerge from his off-the-record chat with network anchors at the White House. According to reports, Trump called former Vice President Joe Biden dumb, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer a nasty son of a b---- and even found a way to attack the late Sen. John McCain nearly six months after his death.
After once again complaining about McCains vote to preserve the Affordable Care Act, the president said, By the way, he wrote a book and the book bombed. He was apparently referring to the Republican senators final memoir, , which returned to the top of The New York Times non-fiction best sellers list for a second time after McCain passed away from brain cancer last August.
The senators daughter Meghan McCain was quick to denounce Trumps comments on Twitter, writing, The presidents obsession with my father 6 months after his death is pathetic and telling - even at a time when he should be focusing on his message to the American public and the state of our union - the greatness of my fathers life and legacy haunts you.
But she was even more offended after she watched his speech.
