Trump never apologised for calling me a war prisoner – McCain

Featuring in an interview with CBS’ “60 Minutes” on Sunday night, Sen. John McCain revealed that President Donald Trump never apologised to him for suggesting during the electioneering campaign that the senator and Vietnam prisoner wasn’t a war hero.

• The beginning of their supposed squabble

Trump in Iowa in June 2015 had said, “He’s not a war hero”. “He was a war hero because he was captured,” “I like people who weren’t captured”, Trump added referring to the five years capture of the 81-year-old Senator as a prisoner of war in Vietnam after his plane was shot down in 1967 during combat. McCain was released in March of 1973. Injuries sustained from being tortured left the veteran unable to lift his arms above his head.

McCain, however, said he’d be open to “rapprochement” with Trump. He said that the two share different values, and thereby making them different people.

• We are two different personalities

“He is in the business of making money and he has been successful both in television as well as Miss America and others. I was raised in a military family. I was raised in the concept and belief that duty, honour, country is the … is the lodestar for the behaviour that we have to exhibit every single day,” said.

• The August ObamaCare repeal bill ney vote

The Arizona Senator who has been diagnosed with a brain tumour, known as a glioblastoma, associated with a blood clot above his left eye dented the hopes of President Trump at replacing the Obamacare health policy when he thumbed down on the repeal bill in August.

When asked if he voted “no” as a way to get back at Trump, McCain said, “If I took offense at everybody who has said something about me, or disparaged me or something like that — life is too short. You’ve gotta move on. And on an issue of this importance to the nation, for me to worry about a personal relationship, then I’m not doing my job.”
