John McCain refuses to discuss the future most powerful person in the world
When asked by reporters Tuesday about the tax plan of his party's leader and the nation's president-elect, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) only had this to say:
McCain just now: "I'm not talking about Trump. I'm not talking about Trump. I'm not talking about Trump. I'm not talking about Trump."

Then, after he reportedly "apologized for raising his voice," McCain apparently quipped he'd someday come around to answering these "stupid questions" about the future of the country:
John McCain then joked, "On the first of January I promise to start answering these stupid, idiotic questions." https://t.co/zkfhin8NSy

Apparently, McCain hasn't totally sworn off of Trump talk though. On the same day he repeatedly declared he would not be talking about Trump, Financial Times published an op-ed detailing the damage Trump would do if he withdrew from the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal — authored by none other than McCain.
