President Donald Trump on Tuesday issued a warning shot after Republican Sen. John McCain questioned “half-baked, spurious nationalism” in America’s foreign policy.
Trump said in a radio interview with WMAL in Washington that “people have to be careful because at some point I fight back.” The president added “I’m being very, very nice but at some point I fight back and it won’t be pretty.”
McCain, a former Navy pilot who spent 5½ years in a Vietnam prisoner of war camp and is battling brain cancer, offered a simple response to Trump: “I have faced tougher adversaries.”
In Philadelphia on Monday night, the six-term Republican senator from Arizona received an award for a lifetime of service and sacrifice to the country. In addition to recalling his more than two decades of military service and his imprisonment during the war, McCain took a moment to go a step further than the night’s other speakers, who lamented what many described as a fractured political climate.
“To abandon the ideals we have advanced around the globe, to refuse the obligations of international leadership for the sake of some half-baked, spurious nationalism cooked up by people who would rather find scapegoats than solve problems,” he said, “is as unpatriotic as an attachment to any other tired dogma of the past that Americans consigned to the ash heap of history.”

Compelling. Will only intensify until the spitting babbling John McCain rolls forward dead out of his wheel chair.
McCain...offered a simple response to Trump: “I have faced tougher adversaries.”
McCain is extremely vulnerable, There are fact about his collusion with the North Vietnamese that have never gained the public eye as well as the bribes he may have taken to stifle the congressional savings and loan investigation.He directly intervened in that matter for those giving him money. John McCain is a bad person. It is mind boggling that he actually got the GOPe nomination for president. Trump is holding fire because McBrain has cancer but I say LET HER RIP on that bastard.
“Is Juan McCain the Senator who met with ISIS terrorists?”
That be him. No wonder he liked Obama’s foreign policies and is bad mouthing President Trump who is killing ISIS.

Here is a man that has months to live and chooses to spend his time squabbling and Washington instead of being with his family I guess the kind of man that McCain is is that.
McCain is bitter and jealous of Trump for winn8ng the Presidency where McCain failed, miserably.
bingo...creepy ,pyscho old man...other than Palin, he ran a pathetic campaign. Palin would introduce him, and he stood in the background with the creepiest grin on his face, blinking his eyes like crazy...god, what a creep. His moron campaign manager, steve schimdt tells him to suspend his campaign, then doesn’t say a word at this “emergency” meeting...if there ever was a clear case for term limits, its this psycho.
John McCain under the umbrella of the Republican party is the quintessential enemy within. He’s a vile, evil, rabid Democrat. It’s why his hand is so often found reaching out across the aisle to his friends, and allies.
Another fake consciousness objector... McCain of course ignores foreign countries are nationalist and protectionist, just as Comey was an Obama stooge while acting falsely outraged about violation of the rule of law when Trump asked him to be loyal....
I am sick of these self righteous ideologues who have zero consciousness, let alone any respect for the ideologies they spout out, starting with the Bushes talking of border vigilantism when the cartels are overruning us and we need self defense.
These globalist idiots are cowards.
He was born with the desire to do so, then the NVA honed that
desire to a razor’s edge. Must have, because McStain’s hatred
is still very sharp.
ESAD, McNuts! Soon!
Don’t forget that another Senator who died of a brain tumor is already buried at Arlington - Ted “Swimmer” Kennedy.
Glad you said it so I didn’t have to.
McCain took a dive, he knew he was playing the Designated Loser to the Kenyanesian Usurper.
Dear John: thank you for your service. That doesn’t excuse your actions since you served. Now for your last moments clinging to the power and wealth you have accumulated you can serve as a good example of what NOT to end up like.
And a NEOCON through and through, whose diseased brain can not fathom what $20,000,000,000,000 in debt means to every American tax paying citizen.
That pretty much is the gist of it. Imagine losing to a Muslim with fake birth certificate after considering himself a war hero, and then a man who did not even serve in military thumped the smartest woman in America (democrat definition of Hillary) who was supposed to win per every pre-election poll, and became POTUS, which the fat, short and ugly McCain has desired throughout his life.
JEALOUSY in the extreme is obvious.
Senator McCain: Past glory does not forgive present sin....You are a self-serving scumbag, please retire immediately.
McCain is dying a slow death. Too bad he doesn’t spend this very short time with his friends and family instead of grandstanding.
