Trump has told White House aides he does not regret saying McCain is not a war hero. He tells advisers that McCain has a vendetta against him and that he wishes he’d step down. He doesn’t plan to say a laudatory word about the ailing senator.

Trump detests the admirable and admires the detestable. As we see these cases unfold, it’s the second group that may be his undoing. https://t.co/aigZuuTmD1
