President Donald Trump spoke to plant workers about manufacturing jobs in Lima, Ohio on Wednesday but the topic turned from the economy to, among other things, former Sen. John McCain’s funeral. Trump had tweeted criticism of the late Republican senator on Sunday, and told reporters he “was never a fan” of McCain during remarks in the Oval Office on Tuesday.
