Trump is presumably not quite so stupid as to write the request himself - almost stupid enough, but still give him credit. He has lackeys to do this sort of work for him. He tells Sander or Rudy or someone, and they take it from there
At any rate, to what extent Donald pushed this is not so relevant as it is all these hordes of Trump leg-humpers who joined to the attack to smear anyone's record of service to country should they have the gall criticize their Dear Leader. I used to expect that in places like Nirty Korea. Now it's taken root here.
Yep. Trump is a walking, talking snowflake. Thin-skinned and yellow-bellied.
McCain did more for this country than Trump could ever dream of doing.....which is why Trump hates him so much.
Sorry, Trump. Donald is used to buying his way in/out of everything, but you can't put a price on military valor. You have to EARN the respect of being a decorated war hero. McCain proudly wore the uniform, while Trump was scared to serve. Coward.
Somewhere on the Wall is the name of a soldier who was sent to Viet Nam in Trump's place.
What are you talking about? The email directing that the USS McCain be "out of sight" is now public knowledge.
It is remotely possible that Trump himself didn't know about this, sure. But someone in the White House actually directed that this be done. Why? Any thoughts?
“The White House wanted the U.S. Navy to move “out of sight” the warship USS John S. McCain ahead of President Trump's visit to Japan, according to an email reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.”
LOL! Rebecca Ballhaus has a history of making **** up about POTUS... and this story is no different.
The NAVY wanted the USS John S. McCain "out of site" because it is still undergoing repairs from its 2017 collision with another ship near Singapore.
The Navy don't like to advertise when their Captains accidentally drive their ships into other ships.
Advertise to whom exactly? It's only been sitting there since the collision but NOW they don't want people seeing the damage?
What a reach to suggest they're only just now concerned over "advertising" when pictures of the damaged ship were plastered all over the media, the thing has been visible for months with the suggestion coming from the White House rather than the Pentagon and it coming precisely concurrent with Trump's visit and his known, well publicized public scorn for an ex-pow who actually served.
Gimme a break. If it comes out later that some White House staffer took it upon him/herself to make such a suggestion, you can bet the farm Trump's thrown him/her under the same bus all those other staffers were tossed by the orange whimp refusing to take responsibility for his own churlish fragility.
It's sad that standards have sunk so low that Naval Aviators think they have to make aircrew great again.
Yeah, as if they ever stopped being great ...
What are these people thinking?!?
