Arizona Sen. John McCain on Sunday said that he is still uncertain about whether President Trump will lead a successful administration.
Asked if he has "confidence" in America's new commander in chief, the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee twice said: "I do not know."
"I do not know because has made so many comments that are contradictory," McCain told ABC's George Stephanopoulos.
"But I think the fact that he's appointed and nominated these outstanding individuals is bound to be an encouraging sign," he continued. "I trust them and have worked with them over many years."

McCain, a Republican, has been a leading critic of Rex Tillerson, Trump's pick for secretary of State. But he admitted Sunday that he is impressed with the generals Trump has appointed to his administration.
"I have the utmost confidence in Gen. Mattis, Gen. Kelly and Gen. Flynn," he said. "I couldn't have picked a better Cabinet."
This comes from the guy who says we have nothing to fear from an obama presidency while he was RUNNING against him. Has there ever been a candidate that endorsed his own opponent?
Citizens of Arizona, why do you do this to us? I apologize for some of we Texans giving you Sheila Jackson-Lee...
The John McCain that went to Vietnam never came back.
Yrs...I know they were re-elected but it’s never too early :) I don’t wish anyone dead...just out if their office.
let’s get on it with regards to all of the 70 ppl who didn’t go to innaguration and all rinos! #dts
I have confidence that McCain is the best reason we have for term limits.
I don ‘t wish him dead, just saying the only way he will leave office is the day he drops dead.
He’s over 80 years old and he gets meaner and nuttier as he gets older. I’m sick of him constantly stabbing President Trump in the back.
Bkmrk.
