MSM FAKE NEWS - STORY DEBUNKED

Attachment Attached File


The White House wanted the U.S. Navy to move “out of sight” a warship named for the late Sen. John McCain, a war hero who became a frequent target of President Trump’s ire, ahead of the president’s visit to Japan last week, according to an email reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.

In a May 15 email to U.S. Navy and Air Force officials, a U.S. Indo-Pacific Command official outlined plans for the president’s arrival that he said had resulted from conversations between the White House Military Office and the Seventh Fleet of the U.S. Navy. In addition to instructions for the proper landing areas for helicopters and preparation for the USS Wasp—where the president was scheduled to speak—the official issued a third directive: “USS John McCain needs to be out of sight.”

“Please confirm #3 will be satisfied,” the official wrote.

When a Navy commander expressed surprise about the directive for the USS John S. McCain, the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command official replied: “First I heard of it as well.” He said he would work with the White House Military Office to obtain more information about the order.

Acting Defense Secretary Pat Shanahan was aware of the concern about the presence of the USS John McCain in Japan and approved measures to ensure it didn’t interfere with the president’s visit, a U.S. official said.

There is a DDG that used to be with 7th fleet that was named for the senators ancestor.

I’m assuming it’s still that ship and not a new one named after the senator they’re talking about.

Would that be fake news because it is named for his dad and grandfather (both Admirals)?

Oh, it was re-dedicated in 2018.

I like Trump and unfortunately McCain turned out to be a big disappointment (a nice way of saying he slobbed Obama’s knob and betrayed us all on O-Care for no other reason than to spite Trump), but this petty bullshit is bullshit.

It’s fucking petty and unnecessary. If Trump loses in 2020 he’ll be 100% responsible for the loss because of pettty bullshit like this, and a loss in 2020 will fuck the American people over more than McCain ever did. Like I said I support Trump, but sometimes he needs to grow the fuck up.

I highly doubt it is true.

It is more than likely another one of those "leaked" BS from some #resist member from the WH or simply made up bullshit that continues the usual "Trump is an egotistical monster" narrative the left projects on him.

Right on cue.  The dude cannot control himself.  Can't they jam his cell phone or something?  Point his Twitter account configuration to some contained environment where he thinks he's posting online but isn't?  "Yes Mr. President, I can hear their heads exploding already.  Good one Mr. President."

McCain was a piece of shit, my father was a Korean War veteran and knew what a shitbag McCain was back in the eighties.

He used to tell me, “I feel bad for what happened to McCain in Vietnam, but the man is an asshole.”
