Donald Trump has come under fire from his own party after unleashing a bizarre tirade against the late Republican Senator John McCain.

His attacks on Mr McCain, who died from brain cancer last year, came to a head during a speech at an Ohio factory on Wednesday night.

Talking about Mr McCain's funeral he said: "I gave him the kind of funeral that he wanted, which as president I had to approve."

"I don't care about this, I didn't get a thank you. That's okay."

He also said: "I never liked him much... I really probably never will."

Meghan McCain, the late senator's daughter, said the president had reached "a new, bizarre low - attacking someone who is not here is a new low".

She added: "If I had told my dad... he would think it is so hilarious that our president was so jealous of him that he was dominating the news cycle in death."

Mr McCain arranged his own funeral before he died and invited former presidents including Barack Obama, who beat him in the 2008 election, but not Mr Trump, who just signed off the arrangements.

Mr Trump also repeated his complaint that Mr McCain voted against repealing Obamacare and that he was not supportive of military veterans.

Over the weekend, Mr Trump tweeted that Mr McCain backed an unverified dossier that claimed there were links between Trump and Vladimir Putin.

He went on to say that Mr McCain sent the dossier to the FBI and the media before the 2016 election, in an effort to discredit his candidacy.

But now it would seem that Republicans are tired of the president's constant bashing of John McCain.

In defence of Mr McCain, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell tweeted that Mr McCain was a "rare patriot and genuine American hero."

Georgian Senator Johnny Isakson called Mr Trump's comments "deplorable", and that he does not care "if he's the president of the United States, owns all the real estate in New York or is building the greatest immigration system in the world".

Mitt Romney, who was the Republican candidate in the 2012 White House race said: "I can't understand why the President would, once again, disparage a man as exemplary as my friend John McCain: heroic, courageous, patriotic, honorable, self-effacing, self-sacrificing, empathetic, and driven by duty to family, country, and God".

Even some of Mr Trump's closest allies in the senate are criticising his comments, with Lindsey Graham saying: "I think the president's comments about Sen. McCain hurt him more than they hurt the legacy of Sen. McCain."

"A lot of people are coming to John's defence now... I don't like it when he says things about my friend John McCain."
