Trump Denies Knowing of Directive to Move USS McCain 'Out of Sight'

WASHINGTON—President Trump denied knowing about a White House request to move “out of sight” the warship USS John S. McCain during his visit to Japan, but said whoever issued the directive was “well meaning.”

Speaking to reporters Thursday as he left Washington for Colorado, Mr. Trump said of the White House request, which was issued earlier this month: “I didn’t know a thing about it. I would never have done that.”

The president repeated his previous criticisms of the late senator and didn’t apologize for the White House directive, saying instead that the official who directed the warship to be concealed “did it because they thought I didn’t like him.”

“They thought they were doing me a favor because they know I am not a fan of John McCain,” he said. “I was very angry with John McCain because he killed health care,” he said, referring to a critical vote Mr. McCain cast in 2017 that blocked the GOP effort to repeal the Affordable Care Act. “I was not a big fan of John McCain in any way shape or form.”

So as to avoid answering the question he asks when looking at one, “ who is that scowling, fat asshole, staring at me?

he always has to keep his big ugly mouth flapping all the time. Don't know how anyone in the military could support the big fraud.
