Donald Trump Said He's 'Very Happy' GOP Senators Who Didn't Vote With Him Are Gone and People Are Pretty Sure He Means McCain

Donald Trump Said He's 'Very Happy' GOP Senators Who Didn't Vote With Him Are Gone and People Are Pretty Sure He Means McCain

We all knew what he meant.

President Donald Trump's ire for the late Senator John McCain (R-AZ) has been well-documented. On the campaign trail, Trump questioned why the former prisoner of war was described as a war hero and McCain railed against Trump for siding with Russian president Vladimir Putin at a press conference in Helsinki.

Trump's bitterness against McCain reached new debts, however, when McCain famously voted no on Trump's overhaul of the Affordable Care Act. The legislation failed, humiliating Trump.


Months after McCain's death, the president still brings up McCain's perceived slight against Trump's efforts to revoke millions of people's healthcare.

In fact, that's what many believe the President did on Wednesday in a speech to the Faith & Freedom Coalition.

Watch below:

Trump appeared not only to rejoice in McCain's death—but to claim he was in hell:

"We needed 60 votes. And we had 51 votes. And sometimes, you know, we had a little hard time with a couple of them, right? Fortunately, they're gone now. They've gone on to greener pastures. Or perhaps far less green pastures... They're gone. I'm very happy they're gone."

White House Deputy Press Secretary Hogan Gidley assured that Trump was actually talking about former Senators Bob Corker (R-TN) and Jeff Flake (R-AZ) who have since left the senate for other endeavors, but were often reluctant to vote with the more radical policies championed by Trump.

However, McCain was the only Republican to vote against healthcare overhaul who isn't still in the senate. With Trump's bitterness toward McCain so pronounced, people aren't buying that Trump was talking about Corker or Flake.

And people were disgusted.

Trump didn't lower flags to half mast when McCain died last August until after days of national outcry. As recently as this month, the Navy was asked to remove the USS John McCain from Trump's sight while he was on a visit to Japan.

Perhaps McCain isn't in greener pastures, but in Trump's head. Rent free.

Erin Brockovich Perfectly Lays Out Why AI Data Centers Are 'Pushing People Too Far' In Viral Clip

Self-described "people advocate"—a term she prefers over environmental activist or consumer advocate—Erin Brockovich recently sat down with comedian Theo Von on his podcast This Past Weekend. They spoke about her now adult children, the court case and resulting film that made Brockovich a household name, and what she's done since.

About a third of the way into the hour and a half long sit down, Von noted that what made him want to connect with Brockovich was an article she wrote for her Substack, The Brockovich Report, titled, "If Data Centers Are So Great, Why Are They Being Built in Secret?" which launched her mapping initiative posted on the website Brockovich AI Data Center Reporting.

Gay Conservative German Politician Resigns After Welcoming Child Via Surrogacy Despite Publicly Opposing It

German conservative Jens Spahn resigned from his position as the leader of the joint CDU/CSU (Union) parliamentary group in the 21st Bundestag after it emerged he and his husband welcomed a child via surrogacy despite openly opposing it.

Per the 1990 Embryo Protection Act, surrogacy remains illegal in Germany, a position long supported by the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), which reaffirmed its opposition earlier this year. While German law allows parents to raise children born through surrogacy abroad, arranging a surrogate within Germany is punishable by up to three years in prison or a fine.
