The White House Military Office and lower-level US Navy officials exchanged emails about moving the Navy warship USS John McCain ahead of President Trump's recent Japan visit, according to two Navy officials.

President Donald Trump and John McCain's long-running feud is back in the spotlight following reports that White House and lower-level US Navy officials traded emails about keeping a warship named from the late senator's father and grandfather out of sight ahead of the President's trip to Japan.

Two Navy officials confirmed to CNN Wednesday night that the White House Military Office asked lower-level US Navy officials about keeping the ship out of view. One of the Navy officials further clarified Thursday morning that the discussion included obscuring the ship or moving it, which was not practical because the ship was under repairs at the time."Once leadership heard about it, they said knock it off," a senior Navy official told CNN.

Why do they cater to Trump’s fragile ego. This is not a good reflection on our military’s bravery.

Anothe fake news

So it's gone from 'hidden from view' to 'exchanged e-mails.' This may be your weakest grasp yet.

So what?

I am sure it was low IQ individuals

This is shameful what he did

Don’t want the baby in chief to get mad. He may hold his breath

The dude’s petty... What do you want? Petty and effective.

Really is no end to how low Fake News CNN will go to lie and smear Trump they know this story is bullshit but have been reporting it all day

So Trump DIDN'T do it as you inferred.....

You dog

And what does MeghanMcCain have to say about this travesty since this is about her father? 😅

This is what the 'commander in petty' does.

realDonaldTrump America is proud knowing that the USS Bone Spur will never be christened. USS John McCain will outlive your memory.

Trump is spineless and could not carry the shoes of JohnMcCain

There’s a LESS THAN ZERO % chance you’ll ever see this on CNN Propaganda....

Who cares

Shocked they haven't shifted communications to WhatsApp yet.

This must be reported however think about how much time every day cable news spends on the same 3 to 5 stories every 30 mins. The info they could (if they chose too) provide their viewers & think how much more money they would make from sponsors because of increased viewership.

Rename the ship the USS TRUMP!
