Donald Trump — who had Michael Cohen threaten all of his schools to keep his own transcripts a secret because they were so bad — spent a second consecutive day attacking the late Sen. John McCain, falsely claiming that McCain was “last in his class” at Annapolis.

On Saturday morning, Trump tweeted another attack on McCain, saying that it was “‘last in his class’ (Annapolis) John McCain that sent the Fake Dossier to the FBI and Media hoping to have it printed BEFORE the Election.”

Trump tweeted, “So it was indeed (just proven in court papers) “last in his class” (Annapolis) John McCain that sent the Fake Dossier to the FBI and Media hoping to have it printed BEFORE the Election. He & the Dems, working together, failed (as usual). Even the Fake News refused this garbage!”

Trump’s claim about McCain is false. He graduated fifth from the bottom of his class, and self-effacingly noted in 1993 that “My four years here [at Annapolis] were not notable for individual academic achievement but, rather, for the impressive catalogue of demerits which I managed to accumulate.”

Former Trump fixer Michael Cohen has testified that Trump had him threaten all of his own former schools to keep his academic records secret.

Trump’s attack cones a day after he similarly slammed McCain, prompting a cutting response from Meghan McCain. Trump’s obsession with attacking John McCain’s military record dates back at least twenty years, when he told Dan Rather “He was captured. Does being captured make you a hero? I don’t know. I’m not sure.”

It was an attack that he infamously repeated during the 2016 presidential campaign, but which did not dim his popularity with Republican voters.

Twitter was disgusted:

You are a low, impotent worm.

John McCain lived every virtue and quality you lack.

Let's review: physical and moral courage. Patriotic loyalty to his country and comrades in the face of death and torture. Country before self and party. Humor and self-awareness. Love of family. https://t.co/2GmRFrgMeL

What possesses this man to continue to attack a dead war hero? https://t.co/xC1i6zAMzJ

You are a small minded and small man who is weak and unable to possess a shred of patriotism and decency. Attacking a man who dies and who served his country patriotically? For what? If this makes you feel better, it only serves to highlight YOUR mental illness!!! https://t.co/cPB1HHvVxm

There's no historic, or moral, precedent for this. We've never seen a US president horribly slander an American hero recently buried with state honours. https://t.co/0s9XNGd9VD
