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.

Model Accuses Fashion Brand Of Using AI To Recreate Her Looks For Ad Instead Of Hiring Her

There used to be laws in place for someone's likeness being used without their consent, and most certainly if their likeness was being used in an exploitative way for profit.

But now with the rise of AI-generated photographs, advertisements, and other digital products, the lines seem to have become muddied between the illegal stealing of someone's likeness and AI "inspiration."

TikToker Secretly Records Unhinged Spectrum Employee Screaming At Her For Trying To Cancel Her Service

Employees in commission-based positions are feeling increasingly pressured to acquire new clients, retain previous clients, and solve the issues their clients call in about with high satisfaction ratings.

Even though tensions are high, and the pressure they're feeling may be unrealistic for any one person to take, that doesn't give them the right to mistreat people who do not want to sign up or want to cancel.
