Does Trump's Bad Blood With McCain Go Back To 1996?

Let’s go back in time to 1996. Donald Trump wanted a $350 million federal loan guarantee from HUD for some Manhattan project he was working on. One of the people in Congress opposed to it? John McCain.

There is no reason to think it wouldn’t continue, especially if McCain didn’t “smarten up” and support Trump’s presidency.

Trump’s pettiness knows no bounds.
