WASHINGTONPresident 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 didnt know a thing about it. I would never have done that.
The president repeated his previous criticisms of the late senator and didnt apologize for the White House directive, saying instead that the official who directed the warship to be concealed did it because they thought I didnt 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.
