President Donald Trump warned that he will not just set around and listen to the attacks against him. He will fight back and it is going to be ugly.
In an interview with WMAL radio host Christ Plante, Trump said, “People have to careful, because at some point I fight back. I’m being very nice. I’m being very, very nice. But at some point I fight back, and it won’t be pretty.”
The President made the statement in response to the question about McCain’s speech on Monday night in Philadelphia. The senator warned against “half-baked, spurious nationalism cooked up by people who would rather find scapegoats than solve problems.”
In his remarks, McCain stressed that it is ‘unpatriotic” to abandon America’s ideals, refuse the obligations of international leadership, and our duty to remain the last best hope on Earth.
Political observers believe that the senator’s speech is a thin-veiled attack on Trump. They noted that the President’s political strategy is a combination of conservatism, nationalism, and populism.
