What exactly is wrong about the statements attributed to Trump? You think Bush and McCain were good for the GOP? Do you believe Trump thinks they were good for the GOP?
How do the statements in this story contradict the things he’s said in public about Bush and McCain? I don’t see any contradictions at all.
As there was very little in the article and were probably accurate, I have no trust in the honest of a leftist author employed by Politico in quoting anything President Trump may or may not have said.
