Meghan McCain: Trump won't attack my dad again

President Donald Trump won't be trashing Sen. John McCain anytime soon.

After months of criticizing the war veteran over his stance on a GOP health bill and more, the president called the Arizona Republican’s daughter Meghan to say he would back off the cancer-stricken veteran senator.

“I don’t believe he would go there again,” the younger McCain said in an exclusive interview for POLITICO’S Women Rule podcast. “I don’t think at this point in his administration it would be beneficial to him in any way.”

McCain said her conversation with Trump was "very nice."

1. Why do you believe him, Meghan?

[malthaussen]

23. Well, the quoted article implies she thinks it won't serve to his advantage...

... which would indicate that she believes he actually calculates the advantage before he speaks. Since the evidence for that is shaky, I wonder if she is projecting based on her knowledge of another politician.

2. So, all that abuse is just water under the bridge

because abuse is okay if it serves his administration?
I really don't have much respect for her, anyway, and this sort of solidifies my opinion.

7. isn't that amazing? He just thinks he can sweep all the vileness away like that?

what a miserable, miserable little man.

[groundloop]

3. 45* obviously needs McCain for something, no other reason he'd pretend to make nice

And the instant he gets what he wants it's back to trashing McCain.

Hell, 45* went so far as to call McCain a loser for being a POW.... IMO there's no walking back from that.

32. She was born after all

that - 1984. The children from his first marriage grew up with dad in captivity

4. Sleazy, smarmy trump trying to play nice....

He is only pulling this stunt with Meghan to help himself. He must be feeling pressure now.

[nocalflea]

8. Hoping McCain will lay off on Trump regarding all things Russian.

Especially his not enforcing sanctions.

[CatMor]

11. Exactly

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

5. Good thing they're not related or he'd cut off his treatment. nt

[PearliePoo2]

6. Meghan McCain you are either naive or a fool. Probably both.

donald believes your dad is a LOSER. He got shot down, captured and tortured. He LOST.

NOTHING is going to change with this lying, Asshole-In-Chief. He will NEVER, EVER be a nice person.

33. +1 n/t

[Nitram]

9. Wonder how long that will last...

[brucefan]

10. What a class act!

You too,Meghan.

[Siwsan]

12. How lovely that her conversation with him was very nice - to her face

Given his history, Meghan seems like someone trump* would love to target for ridicule.

As for me, had anyone ever disrespected my father's character like trump* did McCain's, that individual would be in NO doubt of how I felt. But then I'm just not one of those 'high road' kind of people.

[get the red out]

13. Dream on

Trump doesn't have much of a history of only doing things that are beneficial to him.

[blueinredohio]

14. Wait until John pisses him off

[marble falls]

16. Its inevitable.

[dalton99a]

15. The asshole doesn't want McCain to say anything about his upcoming military parade

[bronxiteforever]

17. GOP playbook to pretend nice guy role prior to election.

They had meetings with pollsters and 2018 scares them. Hence the kabuki theater.
We have seen this play a bunch of times.

[Justice]

18. Trump is flattering Meghan so she will give him good coverage.

you can see through that from a mile away. From space actually.

[keithbvadu2]

19. As if Donald's word means anything

[UpInArms]

20. More refucklicanism ... as long as my stuff is okay,

it’s all good.

Sheesh ... what a stupid girl

[olegramps]

21. Meghan Von Braun is just another fascist.

[Fla Dem]

22. How do you have a "very nice" conversation with a man that has disparaged your father?

I'm not sure I could even take his call.

Why do republicans who Trump has denigrated turn around and suck up to him, Rubio, Lindsey Graham, Bob Corker, Jeff Flake, etc.

[bluestarone]

26. this

[hotrod0808]

24. I'm glad for her because

Trump is known for keeping his word with everyone. That's why she voted for him and still supports him hell or high water.

[Grins]

25. I dont think...it would be beneficial to him."

And now you know why Meghan.

[oasis]

27. How big of him.

[packman]

28. Meghan, I have some swamp land in Florida you might be interested in

or - a bridge in New York you can pick up for a few bucks.

[Phoenix61]

29. Ted Bundy was charming

He was also a serial killer. The ability to be charming from time to time doesn't change someone's underlying personality. Twitler is a malignant narcissist and nothing is ever going to change that.

[Marcuse]

30. He also renounced birtherism until he unrenounced birtherism.

31. Bless her heart

Believing Trump. Tsk tsk.

[Stainless]

34. She's a glutton for punishment or else she's suffering from Stockholm Syndrome

Trump is a pathological liar. He's not capable of telling the truth. Overlook it at your own peril.
