Two U.S. officials said a paint barge was in front of the USS John S. McCain on Saturday morning when 7th Fleet officials walked the pier to see how everything looked for the visit

The Journal reported, based on people familiar with the matter, that sailors on the USS John S. McCain, who usually wear hats with the ship’s name on it, were given the day off when Trump visited.

Trump and McCain had a frosty relationship and that continued, on Trump’s part, even after McCain died in August 2018 of brain cancer.In 2015, McCain, a Republican senator from Arizona, had gotten under then-candidate Trump’s skin by saying he had “fired up the crazies” at a rally in Phoenix. Trump, also a Republican, later told a crowd in Iowa that McCain was only a war hero “because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.

Trump was not welcome at McCain’s funeral and raised the White House’s U.S. flag back to full-staff shortly after McCain’s death, despite U.S. Flag Code stating that it should remain at half-staff for another day. The flag returned to half-staff later in the day.

Fake news headline alert! Read the article, that shows clearly there was no deliberate action on this matter! Unbelievably deceiving!

Who cares CTV? We have a Crime Minister Trudeau and his Cronies who committed “Obstruction of Justice” multiple times blocking investigations of their crimes with their majority, and NO RCMP in sight? Report on that please....

This Trump! Should be SHOT, with a ball of his own SHIT!!!!!!

It’s like they’re nervously babysitting a 2 yr old child with temper tantrums.

If Trump saw the ship, he will order an attack on Japan.

All three McCains served their country. Trumpo is a cowardly draft dodger . I'm shocked the Navy would go along with this disgusting act.

That's because they knew if he saw it, he'd rename it to USS Donald Trump before the end of the day.
