There is no love lost between Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and President Donald Trump. The senator’s comments on the Trump administration’s failed raid in Yemen aren’t likely to change that.
“When you lose a $75 million airplane and, more importantly, American lives are lost and wounded, I don’t believe that you can call it a success,” McCain told a reporter on Wednesday.
President Trump on Thursday said Sen. John McCain “should not be talking about” what constitutes the success or failure of a military mission and that Mr. McCain “doesn’t know how to win anymore” after the Arizona Republican said it would be wrong to call a recent mission in Yemen a success.
