San Francisco, June 15 (TIWN) Taking a jib at US President Donald Trump on his 73rd birthday, thousands of Twitter users celebrated June 14 as #JohnMcCainDay on the micro-blogging platform.

To troll the president on his big day thousands of people are tweeting #JohnMcCainDay, because, as everyone probably know, Trump was not a fan of the late Arizona senator. With this in mind, Andy Lassner, the executive producer of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, kicked off the hashtag.  Lassner suggested that his followers join him in honoring an "American hero," explaining, "I'm sure this would mean a lot to a patriot like Donald Trump."
