On May 15, 2019, the White House’s military office relayed a request to “keep McCain out of sight” during the 45th president’s May 27, 2019 visit to Yokosuka Naval Base.

On May 15, 2019, the White House’s military office relayed a request to “keep McCain out of sight” during the 45th president’s May 27, 2019 visit to Yokosuka Naval Base, about 35 miles south of Tokyo, according to an internal Navy email dated May 24 of that year.

In response, the Navy switched out a banner denoting the ship’s name and replaced it with a tarp which “partially obscure[d] the ship’s name” painted on the back of the McCain, according to the email.Rear Adm. Phillip Sawyer, who oversaw all Navy operations in the Western Pacific, tested for himself whether the McCain’s name could be seen from where Trump intended to visit, noting in a May 24 email he was “comfortable with the actions that have been taken” to block the ship’s name.

“My direction was to have a good plan to meet [White House] intent on having [the McCain] out of sight while not calling attention to the fact that [McCain] sailors were not allowed to participate,” an unnamed Navy officer wrote.

So what. They hated each other. And Sen McCain did screw Trump with his thumbs down. If it were any other potus, he would've voted yes! So while it was not nice, I get it. I wouldn't take a picture with or near the name of the guy who beat me out of 60k! Too Bad!

Pretty sure the Nordstream news is a bit more important but let’s talk about Trump not liking the grifter known as John McCain.

Well considering Admiral McCain was a lier and a coward… I would cover it up also.

Saltines are so weird 😂

Where’s the LFK ?

Our current president is getting us into WWIII, but yeah this seems important.

So what.

McCain was evil to Pres. Trump.

We're going to talk about this? But we're not going to talk about the fact that the Navy changed their whole naming scheme just to make sure that no ship was ever named after Trump. 🤌🏾🤦🏾‍♂️ Our country is jacked up right now on all levels. The mentality is trash.

The name should be removed and forgotten.

That is another trump egotistical behavior. GOP needs a new candidate. Desantis shows leadership and balanced for all USA

Wow🤨

Liars say what…look at the headline

❤️ IT!

OMG, why is this news? Are you THAT desperate?

Tell me the guy in the gray suit was not the feds in DC?

This is really old news. Slow news day? I think it's older than this.

Don't care.

Is Mrs McCain lover in the picture

Trump was right about McCain. What's a shame is that we'll never know the full extent of his dealings or involvement in Ukraine.

McCain was a patriot and an American hero. Trump is a traitor and a loser, who is worshipped by other losers.

Such a hateful orange man

Trump the terrorist

Should’ve keep it covered

Ah yes , journalism

Petty aholes.

After betraying the country with his infamous thumbs down vote re: Obamacare and his part in attempting to frame Trump for Russiagate, we deserve to never hear his name again. 👎

McCain was a defense contractor lackey and his daughter is the same. Killing for profit is their thing whether it's Americans or foreigners

fakenews

So. Is that another law you’re trying to say he broke. Stop

He is such a petty toddler

Good. Look up Cindy McCain and Epstein interview video. They knew what was happening and said nothing. Cowards

'Wet Start' and his legacy deserve scorn.

Yawn

Why is trump such a loser? Is it genetic?

Nyp is now associated with click bait.

A OK

Old Songbird?

Lol 😆

With paint👍🏻

McCain the fuckn trader?

As one would.

So?
