Cmdr. Nate Christensen, a spokesman for U.S. Pacific Fleet, said"all ships remained in normal configuration during POTUS' visit," using a common acronym for"president of the United States."
Shanahan addressed the Journal's report Thursday while visiting Jakarta, Indonesia."What I read this morning was the first I had heard about it," he said.Robyn Beck / AFP / Getty Images file McCain's eldest daughter, Meghan McCain, who co-hosts the television show"The View," tweeted that Trump was"a child who will always be deeply threatened by the greatness of my dads incredible life."
On her television show Thursday, McCain elaborated on how Trump's criticisms of her father were affecting her grieving process.
Well-meaning? Good lord. What jerks. How unpatriotic.
Unpatriotic. A disgrace to McCain and all service people. A HUGE waste of tax payer money to move and shelter this ship for a temperamental unfit IllegitimatePresident
Well meaning, by punishing an entire ship full of brave people putting tgeir lives on the line? He's filfth.
Disrespectful to the ship's crew. Sailors take pride in their vessel & to 'hide' its identity is bullshit.
He thinks an act like that is well meaning? The man is devoid of any sense of decency and honor. I can’t wait until he is gone.
Well-meaning? Trying to shield the fragile Toddler In Chief so he does not have a temper tantrum and make ridiculous comments about an heroic man... And then he goes and makes them anyway! For the record: There never was a GOP healthcare plan for McCain to kill! More LIES!
I noticed Trump didn’t condemn the idea at all. Pathetic!
Not well meaning at all. They were committing an unconstitutional abuse of power on 45’s behalf and he knew it before hand and applauded the crime afterwards.
They were 'well meaning'? Really?
Trump saying they are 'well meaning' means this is the kind of petty BS that he does flip-wig about if his childish demands are not met. What would you do if you had heard this was done on your behalf?
It was wrong. Period.
SADD
“Good people on both sides”
If I were Trump I would re painted the entire ship.
realDonaldTrump can neither hide nor deny the fact that the late Senator John McCain was a great American Patriot and Hero. The late Senator’s life & legacy will neither be hidden nor shawdowed by the draft-dodger & the WorstPresidentEver DerangedDonald is Jealous.
Jacked up no matter how its spun
I'm not a fan of realDonaldTrump the traitor!
Remember-he supporters like to refer to anyone who doesn’t bend over to him snowflakes, yet the site a name will trigger the President. Seriously disturbing on so many levels.
Can't imagine they are lining up the USS Donjunior any time soon,. Though, big fella might as well suggest it, then not do it. Seems fitting, somehow.
I guess someone should tell him that John McCain died, and that ship was originally named after his Grandfather. Besides the name of someone can't hurt you if you're really that insecure over someone's name because they make him feel small, he should really resign the presidency!
Another example of Trump not having to say the actual words for it to happen. Michael Cohen warned us all - Trump says something in passing and his sycophants do what they need to make it happen. MobBossInChief
Some of the worst actions by dictatorships and organized crime are done not by explicit command but to curry favor and provide plausible deniability. It's the opposite of 'the buck stops here.' It's 'I don't want to see Paulie around here no more, capisce?'
Who in the Pentagon chain of command was following orders? Who exactly gave the order?
Well meaning, how is that! There is something perniciously ( if this us a word and if not , well sometimes there are no words) wrong with this man. We are in deep, deep trouble .
Try having some McCain smiles.
Trump has no shame. This moron is fighting a dead man and losing 😂
Who would have ever thought we would live to see the day when the President of the USA is fighting and arguing with a deceased man, John McCain!?🙄 This is not normal people🥴
Trump is the Commander in Chief. If this was done without his approval, he has no control over his people. He is incompetent. He needs to Resign. ImpeachDonaldTrumpNOW
realDonaldTrump have ever done anything. Seems like everything is someone else's fault.
Instead they debut USS Donald J Trump realDonaldTrump
There is no bottom
LMAO he knows how to dig at the MSM. They bite every time. Wonder if he is good at trolling fish...
Only trumpy could do this Juvenile Behavior
It’s well meaning to obscure an American hero?
Well meaning to whose way of thinking? The recipient of the act or the person being demeaned? Ego driven response to something childish.
WorstPresidentEver
On this Memorial Week , Every Veteran in the USA should be showing their Disgust ! My Father Fought in World War 2 and he was a Patriot till the end ! This Draft Dodger of a President, DISRESPECTS EVERY SERVICE MAN BY SPEAKING OF McCAIN A HERO With Such “DISRESPECT !
A lot of back paddling 45...
Everything is okay if you mean well.
He's fukkin lying.
..well meaning
It's not,'well meaning', to show such blatant disrespect toward our military men and women. There is no excuse for this kind of behavior...disgusting. NOT OK!
Trump's definition of 'well meaning' is messed up
Hiding USS John McCain (DDG-56) from 'Baby Don' is just another example of just how ignorant of facts this POTUS & his staff are: This ship is named after Admiral John S McCain Jr, father of Senator John S McCain III. Our nation at a point where facts are now a very rare thing😰
Where is megan mccain ranting?
They also banned the sailors from attending
That’s obscene to say someone was “well meaning” to try a thing like that. And I am not a fan of John McCain either.
