President Donald Trump grew defensive when asked about his feud with John McCain in an interview Wednesday, and cast doubt on reports that the White House sought to hide a battleship bearing the late senators name out of fears it would upset him.
In an interview on Good Morning Britain, Trump was asked by host Piers Morgan about his feud with McCain. It seems a little beneath you, if you dont mind me saying, that now hes dead, youre carrying on attacking him. Is it not time to let it go? Morgan asked.
No I dont attack him, Trump said. People ask me, like youre asking me. I didnt bring his name up you did. You brought his name up, John McCain. So, Im not attacking him at all. I dont think about him.
I was not a fan, I didnt like what he did to health care, I didnt like how he handled the veterans, because I got them choice, he was always unable.
But hes dead, Mr. President, Morgan pleaded. There has to come a time
Excuse me but Piers, youre asking me a question. If you dont ask me about John McCain I would never talk about him, Trump shot back, referring to a man he has continued to attack, unprompted, at his rallies.
