Trump and Meghan McCain’s feud over her dad continues to escalate, and it really needs to STOP

There’s been a feud going for the past few days between Meghan McCain and Trump over her father, the late John McCain.

It all began on Sunday when Trump tweeted the following:

I understand that Trump is angry about McCain’s part in pushing the phony dossier and I’m fine with him quoting from Ken Starr and reasonably tweeting about it. What’s done is done.

Instead Trump tweeted that McCain was “last in his class” in the very next tweet, which no matter how you feel about McCain, was just in very bad form. McCain is dead and cannot defend himself any longer. Cheap shots like that are really uncalled for in my opinion.

Meghan McCain responded to Trump on Twitter…

 
Understandably Meghan ran to her father’s defense on The View, along with her co-hosts. You can watch that if you like.

 
At some point, either before or after this, Trump retweeted the following tweet, hitting back at Meghan McCain and her father:

McCain then hit back with a cartoon comparing her father to Trump:

 
Katrina Pierson then changed the cartoon in defense of Trump…

 
And the very latest is Trump’s comments from today when asked why he is attacking John McCain 7 months after his death:

Let’s be real, he’s attacking McCain because of the dossier, not because of Obamacare. That’s not why these new attacks began on Sunday.

Honestly, I think these attacks on McCain have really gone too far at this point. If Trump wants to make factual statements about what McCain did, I have no issue with that. As I said, what’s done is done and Trump has a right to be angry about it.

But taking cheap shots against McCain and and retweeting people defending him against McCain just isn’t helping and it’s not a good look for the President of the United States. It really needs to stop.
