I can't even begin to express how little a person it takes to start leveling threats at an 81 year-old man with terminal brain cancer. What. A. Fucking. Loser.
‘It won’t be pretty’: Trump promises to ‘fight back’ against McCain

Trump promised retribution against Sen. John McCain
(R-Ariz.) for his opposition to several GOP health-care plans and his comments
implicitly criticizing Trump’s views and leadership Monday night.
“People have to be careful because at some point, I fight back,” Trump said in an interview Tuesday with WMAL, a D.C. radio station.
“I’m being very nice. I’m being very, very nice. But at some point, I fight back, and it won’t be pretty,” Trump said.
Trump’s comments came as the White House girded for a preliminary vote on its budget resolution. Whether McCain would vote yes was unclear at the time of Trump’s interview.
“We need some votes from some of the Republicans. For some reason, they weren’t there on health care. They should have been. We thought we had it. John McCain voted no, which was a shocker,” Trump said.
McCain offered a thinly veiled critique of Trump’s presidency Monday night in Philadelphia, where he received the Liberty Medal from the nonpartisan National Constitution Center.
“To refuse the obligations of international leadership and our duty to remain ‘the last best hope of Earth’ for the sake of some half-baked, spurious nationalism cooked up by people who would rather find scapegoats than solve problems is as unpatriotic as an attachment to any other tired dogma of the past,” McCain said in his remarks.
“We live in a land made of ideals, not blood and soil. . . . We have a moral obligation to continue in our just cause, and we would bring more than shame on ourselves if we don’t,” he said.
In response to Trump’s latest comments, he told reporters on Capitol Hill: “I have faced many tough adversaries in my life.”
