Many are criticizing Donald Trump for attacking Arizona Senator John McCain’s Vietnam war service and his status as a POW. Despite the criticism, though, Trump is now doubling down with his criticism of McCain on Twitter and Facebook.
It was a bad move to attack McCain for his status as a POW, to be sure. But to attack McCain–who many call McLame–on policy? THAT is the right idea.
Many feel that John McCain is a terrible Republican and Trump zeros in on some of that this week…
Here is what Trump posted to Facebook yesterday:
I am not a fan of John McCain because he has done so little for our Veterans and he should know better than anybody what…

Trump posted a long line of attacks on McCain on Twitter yesterday, too:
In addition to doing a lousy job in taking care of our Vets, John McCain let us down by losing to Barack Obama in his run for President!

Captured or not, all our soldiers are heroes!

The Veterans of our country have been treated like third class citizens for many years…

….John McCain has failed miserably to fix the situation and to make it possible for Veterans to successfully manage their lives.

All he does is go on television is talk, talk, talk, but incapable of doing anything.

I will make this right for our great Vets!

It's a national embarrassment that an illegal immigrant can walk across the border and receive free health care and one of our Veterans…..

….that has served our country is put on a waiting list and gets no care.

I have a proven track record supporting our Veterans. Veterans deserve universal access to care. VA scandal proves politicians are inept.

Trump also had something to say about Mitt Romney:
Why would anybody listen to @MittRomney? He lost an election that should have easily been won against Obama. By the way,so did John McCain!

I’ve wondered that myself!
