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."
The only good thing I can say about John McCain is that he is 80 years old and likely will not be around for much longer.
John, do you have confidence in your Depends?
Well, you North Vietnamese Ace, I know I have absolutely no confidence in you!
I guess his handlers didn’t give him the answer yet.
He did a Lindsey Graham. He doesn’t want to say whether he does or doesn’t because that puts him on the spot.

You have DOUBTS?
I know right now that McBackstabber is unworthy of confidence.
On the other hand, McCain just might be playing along while he plans and plots something truly nefarious. OR he may just be his usual big coward self and see the handwriting on the wall.
I do not care who McCain likes or dislikes. His opinion is of no interest to me. Trump’s picks will pass and that is all that counts.
McCain sees that Trump’s supporters have not lost any strength. We will not be moved by their lies and treason. I believe they sent Rubio out to test the waters and he got shot down. They’ll lie low for a while but need watching constantly.
Confidence?
I know I have none in this Muslim Brotherhood stooge.
McCain is deeply disturbed.

Hes just straight uniparty. Cant wait till he is napping in dirt.
McCain is the most despicable piece of garbage EVER to set foot on Capitol Hill. How ANYONE can stomach that basturd is a mystery to me. The people of Arizona should be ashamed of themselves for foisting that snake on America. PHEW!
Didn’t he actually parachute into the sunset ..... several times after ruining severaL l 100 million dollar taxpayer aircraft.

Crash McDemoCRAT flies again ...
McCain still has time to find a really good nursing home.
Except if he's asked about his muzzie buddies in the middle east!
