MSM FAKE NEWS - STORY DEBUNKED
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. https://www.wsj.com/articles/white-house-wanted-uss-john-mccain-out-of-sight-during-trump-japan-visit-11559173470 |

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. |

You don’t think the drive by media would’ve used every shot they could against Trump, by focusing on this destroyer?
Don’t give the commies the chance to make it into a scene |

Why would you name a ship after someone who crashed as much as John McCain. They were probably afraid it would turn into the next USS Fitzgerald

What makes you think it's bullshit? Trump isn't that petty? He has too much class?
