Trump says that McCain doesn't do enough for vets

I don't like McCain. For many many reasons.

However, my nephew is a Iraq War vet with severe PTSD and medical issues.

His claim with the VA was stuck in neutral until he contacted his Senator's office (one John McCain of AZ) and McCain personally got involved with his case (and reportedly dozens of others of his constituents). Because of McCain's intervention, my nephew now has 100% disability and was able to buy his own land and move there... away from everyone but his immediate family. He is also getting weekly visits to the Tucson VA facility and is (slowly) getting better.

I can fault McCain for many things... but not his support of Veterans.

Not sure WTF Trump is talking about.

Of all the things to go after McCain on (for what reason I have no idea), this one is just weird.

I am so happy that he is going to lose spectacularly and be humiliated forever after this.

McCain far outshines Trump in every way when it comes this.

Trump is full of shit.

Whatever bile that falls out of trump's mouth is an insult to human beings everywhere.
