In her eulogy at her father's funeral, Meghan McCain, daughter of Senator John McCain, said that America "does not need to be great again" because it "always has been great." Meghan's message is said to be aimed at criticizing US President Donald Trump's slogan when he ran for the White House in 2016, according toUSA Today.

President Trump was not invited to the funeral. During the service, he spent time at Trump National Golf Club in Loudou County, Virginia. Shortly after Meghan McCain's speech, the White House chief retweeted the slogan in capital letters on Twitter. "Make America Great Again," Trump wrote.

Trump's tweet immediately attracted attention. Many people believed that this was the US President's way of responding to the implicit criticism from the daughter of the late Senator McCain and emphasizing that he will continue to pursue the goal of "making America great again".

The funeral of Senator John McCain took place yesterday at the National Cathedral in Washington, DC. His coffin was taken from Capitol Hill to the cathedral and stopped at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, where hundreds of people waited to say goodbye to him.

Three former US Presidents, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama, went to the National Cathedral to bid farewell to McCain, with Bush and Obama reading eulogies at the request of the late senator.
