    McCain told me that he wasn't referring to the president when he said "furious nationalism." He was referring to "America Firsters."

        "There are a whole lot of people besides the president who say America First," McCain said when I asked about Trump's slogan: America First

        Wasn't that literally his own campaign slogan, though?

        No, it was 'Country First', he didn't specify which country, apparently.

        It's a pity McCain slips into oblique, passive aggressive attacks, have some courage to say @realDonaldTrump 's name!

        "America First" is Trump's slogan. Of course he was referring to Trump. This is a disappointing walk-back.
