Meghan McCain goes all out on Twitter after US President Donald Trump questions John McCain's service credentials

Meghan McCain, the daughter of US Senator John McCain, has been critical of US President Donald Trump constantly attacking her father. The final straw for the younger McCain was when President Trump posted a series of tweets questioning her father’s service.
John McCain had criticised the US’ military raid on Yemen in January, saying that it had not been a success. A Navy SEAL and multiple civilians were killed in the raid, marking the first military death of Trump's presidency.
This is what Trump said in response to McCain's comments
Sen. McCain should not be talking about the success or failure of a mission to the media. Only emboldens the enemy! He's been losing so....

...long he doesn't know how to win anymore, just look at the mess our country is in - bogged down in conflict all over the place. Our hero..

..Ryan died on a winning mission ( according to General Mattis), not a "failure." Time for the U.S. to get smart and start winning again!

This seemed to be the final straw for the younger McCain, who first said, “Trump has never served. My father can't bend one of his knees or lift one of his arms above his head. I am done with this today. DONE."
In a second tweet, she wrote. “Disagree with politics ANY single day but how dare anyone question the honor of my father and his service. (sic)"
It is BIZARRE to watch a navy seal @CarlHigbie to say my father's service was dishonorable. BIZARRE. I am on Earth freaking 2.
