The Washington National Cathedral in D.C. said that there was no need for the president to give approval to the funeral services held at the cathedral for the late Arizona Sen. John
McCain. President Donald Trump said during a speech in a tank factory in Ohio on Wednesday that the funeral needed his approval.

“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 ‘thank you,’ Trump said. “That’s OK. We sent him on the way. But
I wasn’t a fan of John McCain.”

The cathedral said that funerals held on the grounds do not require presidential approval. “All funerals and memorial services at the Cathedral are organized by the family of the
deceased; only a state funeral for a former president involves consultation with government officials,” Washington National Cathedral spokesman Kevin Eckstrom said in a statement.

“I have to be honest I’ve never liked him much,” Trump said during the speech Wednesday. “I’ve really probably never will.” Trump was not invited to attend McCain’s funeral service at
the cathedral in September, despite all other living U.S. presidents being in attendance.
