Donald Trump attacks Arizona's John McCain, who has been dead nearly 5 years

Donald Trump attacks Arizona's John McCain, who has been dead nearly 5 years (Arizona Republiclink): The late Sen. John McCain apparently remains a preoccupation of former President Donald Trump despite McCain's death in 2018. This time, Trump complained that the series of McCain funerals and memorial services went on for too long.

In his new coffee-table book "Letters to Trump," priced at $99, Trump includes a letter from McCain, R-Ariz., and writes that he was never a big fan of McCain's, which is not exactly a revelation.

Trump wrote in the book that he "never warmed to him" and "never felt good about anybody having anything to do with John McCain and never will, even despite the fact that at their request, I gave him the world’s longest funeral, 11 days. Much like his wars, it never ended."

McCain, 81, died Aug. 25, 2018, after being diagnosed with brain cancer. He lay in state at the state Capitol in Phoenix and at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. Memorial services took place at North Phoenix Baptist Church and at Washington National Cathedral. He was buried Sept. 2, 2018, at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md.

Meghan McCain, McCain's daughter, responded on Twitter to a clip of Newsmax host Greg Kelly reading the passage about her father from Trump's book.

"The 2024 Presidential election will be decided by 3 swing states − Wisconsin, Georgia, and ARIZONA," McCain tweeted Wednesday. "The last two times Trump and his imitators made elections in Arizona about desecrating my family he lost handily. Keep at it, you Buffo(o)n."
