Newsweek: “President Donald Trump again faces heavy criticism for his comments at a campaign rally Thursday night about cancer-stricken U.S. Senator John McCain and former President George H.W. Bush, who recently lost his wife of 73 years, Barbara.”
“Before thousands at the Montana rally, Trump … chided McCain for his vote against the president’s repeal-and-replace measure for Obamacare last year.”
“McCain announced he had been diagnosed with brain cancer a year ago, and he famously shot down the Obamacare repeal on the Senate floor despite his life-threatening disease.”
“Trump also bashed a common campaign slogan of Bush’s, a ‘thousand points of light,’ which was a call for volunteerism and symbolized diversity around the country. The current commander-in-chief said he never understood the phrase.”
“Trump also used his bully pulpit to deride Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and again refer to her as ‘Pocahontas,’ while suggesting a DNA test be conducted to prove her heritage.”
