Trump, asked about McCain on @ChrisPlanteShow: "I'm being very, very nice. But at some point I fight back, and it won't be pretty."

From CNN's Kristin Wilson Keppler:

Sen @SenJohnMcCain to me, responding to Trump saying “at some point I fight back”: “I’ve faced far greater challenges than this.”

Editing to add I've seen other reporters tweeting about the "far greater challenges" wording, as well as some reporters tweeting that McCain said he's faced "tougher adversaries," as I mentioned in the first reply below. Possibly he said both. Either one will drive Trump even crazier.
