President Trump warned on Tuesday that he would "fight back" after Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) delivered a blunt denunciation of nationalist forces that was seen by many as a thinly veiled attack on the president.

"People have to careful, because at some point I fight back," Trump told WMAL radio host Chris Plante. "I'm being very nice. I'm being very, very nice. But at some point I fight back, and it won't be pretty."

McCain responded to Trump's comments moments later, saying that he has "faced far greater challenges than this," according to CNN.

McCain is a difficult person to detest because of his service and the captivity and ill treatment. However I agree completely about his behavior at home & abroad since he has entered Government. I leave him to God’s mercy.

This doesn’t necessarily concern me hospitals take care of patients with no insurance now if you go to an emergency room they cannot turn you away at least with President Trump’s plan there will be savings that will help offset that cost to the rest of us

As a physician, and above all, as a citizen of Arizona, I insist that his mental capabilities be periodically monitored.

I'm no doctor, but as the friend of a similar patient, his mental capabilities also control his observable physical attributes. His vision, speech, hearing, balance and coordination may suffer. Not so obvious symptoms such as the ability to regulate his body temperature, breathing, other internal functions.

Some were already commenting on the odd speech characteristics in his most recent tirade.

Actually, as a voter in Arizona, I find it easy to detest John McCain. Long before his brain tumor, he had been a nasty lying bitter @sshole, an arrogant media attention whore. He is insanely jealous of President Trump.

McCain ran for his senate seat last year on the repeated promise to repeal Obamacare—and look what he did. He’s a contemptible lying sack of sh*t.
