While trying to defend himself from multiple reports that he insulted the troops, Trump couldnt help himself and bashed John McCain.
This was the opening of Trumps answer to the claim that he called the troops losers:
On the opposite side of John McCain. John McCain liked wars. When we fight a war we will win them and frankly I was never a fan of John McCain. You know that. Its been very obvious. But I had to approve his entire funeral. He deserved a first class it was approved by me. A lot of things.
I was not a fan of John McCain because he wanted the endless wars and I didnt. I thought that the way that the vets were taken care of was not good, not appropriate. Of course, he took the fake dirty dossier and gave it to the FBI.

(19,958 posts)is probably that McCain lost to the Black Man, a crushing blow to "Master Racers" like Dumpy. You can't lose to a Black Man and be a Master Race hero. That makes you a "loser."
He probably has similar feelings about Romney but Romney was a capitalist predator like himself and not a "sucker" or "loser" who served in the military--like himself.
