A 'pathetic life': Meghan McCain escalates her pushback against Trump

Meghan McCain said Monday that President Trump is leading a “pathetic life” as she escalated her pushback against Trump’s weekend attacks on Twitter against her late father.

“He spends his weekend obsessing over great men, because he knows it, and I know it, and all of you know it, he will never be a great man,” McCain, a co-host of ABC’s “The View,” said of Trump during Monday’s episode.

She remembered how before his death nearly seven months ago from brain cancer, John McCain, the Republican senator from Arizona, would spend time with her and others in the family cooking, hiking and fishing on the weekends.

Upon seeing derogatory tweets about her father over the weekend, Meghan McCain said she thought “your life is spent on your weekends not with your family, not with your friends, but obsessing, obsessing over great men you could never live up to.”

She has called it correctly. Trump is obsessed with men he knows he can never measure up to so he has to spend his time trying to tear them down. What a despicable person he is.

I had some issues with McCain, but Trump didn't deserve to stand in the same room as McCain.

when her dad is involved...and I understand a daughter's need to do so...anyone would...but she sure spends a lot of time defending him outside of this area.

meghan. you aren't much better than Trump. and not even close to being the greatness John McCain was and that's even if you take out his military service.
