White House Wanted USS John McCain ‘Out of Sight’ During Trump Japan Visit

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.

Let’s Not Upset the President: The White House Tells the Navy to Hide the U.S.S. McCain

When several sailors from the McCain — wearing uniforms that bore the ship’s name and insignia — turned up anyway at the Wasp to hear Mr. Trump’s speech, they were turned away, the service member said. The service member, who requested anonymity because he was not allowed to speak publicly, said that a gate guard told the two sailors they were not allowed on the Wasp because they were from the McCain.

More hearsay.

As long as it fits the narrative, right?

Trump kind of gets the best of both worlds doesn’t he?
Military members are banned from talking to the media, then he gets to hide behind the fact that no names are provided

There is no evidence that anyone from the McCain was allowed to attend

Thus they were banned....

What do you think came after v/r ?

Do you approve of the White House ordering the ship be out of sight?

The Navy says you and your sources are liars.

US Navy denies hiding John McCain's name aboard US ship during Trump's trip to Japan

Yeah, I'm sure they are being totally truthful.

Typical commie, not the least bit interested in facts.

It's a dick move if done for the reasons you think it was done.

But it wasn't done, and so far there is no evidence Trump asked for it, so its just more ORANGE MAN BAD shit.

Another issue is does thing thing still have a giant hole in it? Is it drydocked for repairs still?

White House asked for USS John McCain to be 'out of sight' during Trump's visit to Japan: WSJ


The ship has been stationed at the Yokosuka Naval Base near the USS Wasp, where Trump delivered Memorial Day remarks and visited U.S. officers.

Before Trump's address, a tarp was hung over the USS John McCain's name and sailors were reportedly directed to remove any coverings that showed the ship's name. A barge was also reportedly moved near the ship to make it harder to see its name from the USS Wasp.

The Journal also reported that sailors on the ship, who normally wear caps with its name, were given the day off when Trump gave his address.


Maybe Trump officials need to be informed that the USS John McCain is not named after the Senator but his father who was an Admiral

I think this was very petty on behalf of the Trump Administration. It is something I would expect from the Obama Administration; for example, when they mandated that the crucifix be covered up during a visit by Obama to Georgetown. There are many similarities between Obama and Trump when it comes to holding grudges.

Of course Trump will lie and blame underlings. That is his MO

But it came from the White House. It appears there was quite a bit of discussion on the McCain. Important enough for demanding that it be out of sight be verified.

Embarrassing for the White House to be so petty

Kind of like not inviting the President to the funeral petty?

It came from an office in the White House, the Military Office.

But keep assuming the worst to keep this 5 minute smear running.
