The widow of Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) can never forget Trump opening his presidential campaign by insulting her husbands Vietnam War service and shes not sure shell ever get over it, reported BBC.
Trump and McCain often disagreed politically, but the senators widow said she hadnt ruled out voting for him in two years.
I cant answer that right now, McCain said. I think at this point, Id like to see some softening of the rhetoric, I really would. Its hurtful.
However, she revealed that shes heard rumors suggesting Trump wont actually seek re-election although he has already launched a 2020 campaign.

(9,341 posts)The headline should be she's heard rumors he won't run. I hope and pray that's true.

(18,837 posts)I know that at one point he had stockpiled $100 million in cash, and since he gets away with everything, maybe...as one person suggested...he'll simply slither off and use it to open another failed casino.
But because it's a rumor, and we don't know the source, I'm not buying it...yet.

GAWD, have they NO self-respect?

(1,483 posts)Maybe more than half, since I imagine John McCain wasn't home every day.
So that gives me a pretty good indication of where Cindy is on the GOP-meter. Somewhere between Meghan and Trump.

They're terrible people. They just don't want that fact to be so obvious.

(21,998 posts)There were some occasions when her late husband said something of importance but she's irrelevant. If she's willing to vote for Trump because he's a "Republican," then her comments are unimportant.

(14,971 posts)Trump keeps saying being President has cost him a fortune and it has. He loves money over everything else.

(4,927 posts)problem is that once he is out of the White House he will never be able to make up the $$ lost, not even close. The Trump name is trash and that is really all he has to sell. Most of his golf courses and resorts don't make money....and once he is out do you think all those people will still book his D.C Hotel, or Mar a Lago?...I doubt it!

(14,971 posts)propping up Trump properties in Chicago, NYC and elsewhere are Russian oligarchs, Saudis and other assorted racketeers and they'll continue to do so after he leaves office. They've been money laundering through his properties since the 80's because they know Trump doesn't care and doesn't follow Treasury Dept. anti money-laundering regulations. Trump's their go to guy. He'll find other ways to scam people that he can't do while he's in office. I don't think his sons, Uday and Qusay, are that good at the scam. I may be wrong of course. Most people think he'll run but I honestly think he hates it because he can't do what he wants without being called out for it.
