White House wanted warship USS John McCain out of Trump’s view during Japan visit, sources sayTwo 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 That's because they knew if he saw it, he'd rename it to USS Donald Trump before the end of the day. All three McCains served their country. Trumpo is a cowardly draft dodger . I'm shocked the Navy would go along with this disgusting act. If Trump saw the ship, he will order an attack on Japan.

'plausible deniability' Kudos to Pentagon chief! BULLSHIT, they covered the name with a tarp and then removed the tarp and parked a barge to block view of the stern. He's denying it because he knows it is dishonorable. An honorable man would admit what he did and resign in shame.
