The tensions between President Trump, late Sen. John McCain and his family is still at an all time high…
White House officials apparently asked for the U.S.S> John McCain to be “out of sight” during the president’s trip to Japan this week, Axios reported.
It’s unclear why the White House wanted the ship to be moved “out of sight,” but the WSJ reports that the directive resulted from conversations between the White House Military Office and the Seventh Fleet of the U.S. Navy. Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan was aware of the concern “and approved measures to ensure it didn’t interfere with the president’s visit.”
The warship is in the thick of extensive repairs following a 2017 collision. The restoration process normally would have made it difficult to move the ship, but following the White House directive, the Navy covered the ship with a tarp before relocating it, per WSJ. Sailors aboard the ship — who often wear hats donning the ship’s name — reportedly received the day off during Trump’s visit.
The news of the snub irritated the daughter of the late senator, “The View” co host Meghan McCain, who expressed her anger on Twitter.
“Trump is a child who will always be deeply threatened by the greatness of my dads incredible life,” she said in a tweet on Wednesday.
“There is a lot of criticism of how much I speak about my dad, but nine months since he passed, Trump won’t let him RIP. So I have to stand up for him. It makes my grief unbearable,” she said.

But President Trump also responded to the news by saying that he was unaware of anyone asking to have the ship out of his sight.
“I was not informed about anything having to do with the Navy Ship USS John S. McCain during my recent visit to Japan.
“Nevertheless, @FLOTUS and I loved being with our great Military Men and Women – what a spectacular job they do!” he said.

If John McCain was so great, then why was he found guilty at a Military Tribune and didn’t die of brain cancer, but was executed by the Military Tribune for treason.
Wow. I guess you know how he American people feel about your Dad and your constant tongue wagging. SHUT UP..
Wow Meghan McCain! Just ready to throw President Trump under the bus without checking your facts! President Trump never asked for that ship to be removed from sight nor did he ask for the name to be covered! They were simply doing maintenance on the ship by sandblasting it and painting it! Thus they had tarps, several of them, on the ship! And guess what Meghan? Not all of us liked you dear old dad and are just sick of you slamming those who didn’t! So, stop talking about him like he was a God! I doubt very much if your dad ever disclosed to you some of his sleazier past exploits!
Reminds me of of another traitor, who should go down in history as such; remember Kerry”The Heinz Ketchup Boy” maybe they will find the list of the deep state that goes on for years when they get to th bottom truth if the American people learn to vote !
Dear Ms. McCain,
You must grow up and accept the fact that your father was not the perfect person you thought he was. Just accept it and let it fade into the darkness like all the other bad memories we have of John “Traitor” McCain. And, one more thing, stop blaming President Trump for your limitations.
As I have said before, our country would have been off if McCain had died in that prison camp. His daughter rightfully feels proud of her dad, but it is just a mirage.
no i don’t think that was right to say he should have die in the camp he may have been one of the ones who was dropping bombs that keep a lot of guys alive and i could be one of those guys i done two tours in v.m but his daughter should just grow up and leave things alone i think it’s all starting because it’s time to vote and we all know what she thinks about Trump
Meghan, your father was a cocky, arrogant misfit of a Navy Airman. He was the one who acted spoiled his entire life and caused death and injury to others around him.
As for Trump hiding the ship with your Dad’s name on it, he could have the tub sunk for all we care.
You need to get over yourself. And as long as you hang with the commie bitches at the Zoo, I mean the View, anything you have to utter is complete hog swill.
Read the complete FLIGHT history of John McCain. Lost lives and damaged Naval vessels
Meghan McCain and the McCain family are over sensitive about their “legacy” so much so that they are becoming boorish! Most American could care less about their hurt feelings!
I AM SURE PLENTY OF P.O.W.S HAD MENTAL BREAKDOWNS WHEN THEY FOUND OUT THE TRAITOR MCCAIN STOPPED THE GOVERNMENT FROM LOOKING FOR THEM….LYING SAYING THERE ARE NO MORE…THEN THEY WERE MURDERED…HE BURIES THE TRUTH AS SOON AS HE BECAME A GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE TO HIDE HIS CRIMES…EVERYONE DESPISES HIM…HE IS NO HERO, NOR IS JOHN KERRY, OR MUELLER…THEY ARE A CRIMINALS
I know how you feel about your father and I am sorry for your family. But your Dad’s true story was checkered and he did hate the president and should have not turned coat on the republicans. He stayed beyond his time. If the many story’s written about him and those of us who knew his history before his imprisonment and those who served with him in the prison camp it became very unflattering. I always wondered if he was not a set up to assure Obama won?
MEGHAN, YOUR DAD COST A LOT A FAMILYS TO KILL THEM SELF BECAUSE WE ALL (22000) OF US LOST OUR MILITARY PENSION BECAUSE OF YOUR DAD. I FOR ONE HATED HIM.
Too bad Trump didn’t have a mental breakdown over Meghan McCain. Oh wait – that would presume he had a brain and cared about someone else in the first place. …..
Thinking you don’t have one either.
Go find your safe space
Does carl need a new pacifier and his diapers changed or have you just been whining and crying like a 3 year old since 2016 like the rest of the demoRAT libtards ????
Typical hateful garbage comment from one repulsive and disgusting Libtard. What a waste! Get out of America.
poor carl, another liberal idiot! you are the one who seems to be brain dead!
Well Carl, if Trump ever had a breakdown it wouldn’t be over some unimportant daughter of a traitor to our country. You think you are the only one that lost their father to cancer….well there are many many girls that have lost their fathers, but they don’t blame everyone else for their grief. Can’t really find many people that like the “Songbird McCain” around the country, especially the POW’s in the same prison camp or others. You just as well suck it up and face the facts….he cheated on his first wife, he was a terrible Navy Pilot, and HE ESPECIALLY WAS A TERRIBLE SENATOR, BUT WAS CERTAINLY A GOOD TRAITOR/RINO TO OUR GOV. AND CITIZENS OF THe USA.
John McCain was not a war hero. He disobeyed orders and flew over Saigon to see what it looked like and was shot down. He was always out for himself his entire time in the Navy and was directly responsible for the deaths of 64 Navy personnel by crashing planes/jets on the carrier and was then put behind a desk. He divorced his first wife and the Mother of his Children to marry into Budweiser money in Los Angeles franchise his second wife inherited as the only child. His history of being an alcoholic is established fact in D.C. Politics et-al. He was a loser! Frank J. Stangel, J.D./U.S M.C. vet.
Megan needs to grow up herself and find out the true facts before accusing someone else. I’m so tired of her not being able to handle life . She’s always whining about her father and I know it’s hurtful to lose your dad, been through that myself and nobody wants other people talking about their fathers or mothers, however in this case she didn’t bother to check and see if it was true. she knows there are phony and fake news going around, she should’ve checked that before hand.
As the world turns this story is not true and this reporter is known for telling colorful stories. Meagan owes President Trump an apology.
Fake news put out by CNN. This is not true.
There is a very good chance the president did not know about the moving of the carrier McCain. It just may be they did not want the ship showing damage on TV screens across the world. It could also be the commander present did not want the damaged ship showing to the president. There is a very good chance the carrier movement had absolutely nothing to do with McCain and news people just do not want to miss an opportunity to cause conflict when there really isn’t any.
Meghan,
Not everyone sees your father as you see him! Grow up and please stay out of the public eye!
So the McCains can smear and snub the Trumps at every stretch but they can’t handle it when it comes back at them? Based on Trump’s comment, he may not have been aware of the fact that someone requested the ship be moved. But the fact remains that McCain and his family have been downright ugly to and about the Trump family.
Grow up the old Bastard is dead. People are starting to wish the same for you.
What a baby………….and she calls him the child……..hahahahaha, sure, he isnt the one having the breakdown
Every child should love their dad, but the rest of the people can
and do find fault with some persons dad, and so be it with the “Song Bird”.
I read that the ship was named for John McCain’s father and grandfather. It wasn’t named for the senator. As for her grief-it is getting old. Her attachment to her father is weird and unnatural. Sounds incestous
The McCain family has reaped a ton of praise over the years. Deserved or not. Personally I have no love or respect for the man. I followed him over 25 years or more and truly have nothing good to say about him. I too am a Vietnam Vet. I served 22 years in the Air Force. I listened to him many times. His arrogance and his demeanor. Long story short the man and his family have been very well rewarded for his service. Now that he is gone America can move on. He was not a good man. I would never trust him. He was arrogant and totally self serving. The family is still receiving benefits and always will until they die. Should he Rest in Peace? That is up to God to decide. I doubt he has gone straight to Heaven. He has a lot to answer for. IMO
excellent piece. to bad it’s missing the appropriate colorful words?
I have read each and everyone of these statements and agree 100% with what everyone has said. Megan yuou are a grown woman that acts like a two year old. It’s time to grow up! Furthermore, if you are so distraught over your father and how peole see him, it’s time to get some therapy. By the way you acted like you were crying at the funeral of a traitor and there were no tears then just as there are no tears now.
I was going to comment but wow it’s all been said. Meghan, an
entitled brat is outraged that the memory of her father is
being besmirched by ignorant know nothings.
Wow! Arbie, you are a fucking idiot.
I’ll say it again. Arbie is a moron.
Megan needs to face reality. Her father was not fit to be a Navy pilot having crashed two planes while in training but his father insisted he get his wings. He tried to show off on the flight deck and caused a fire that killed many sailors. He was such a bad pilot he crashed and was captured. He collaborated with the enemy for better “accommodations” and was rewarded. His job while at Hanoi Hilton was to convince the new prisoners to “cooperate with the enemy” and apparently he did his job well. He left his first wife because she had been injured in an accident and “wasn’t fit to be a political wife” and abandoned his family. He then searched and found a woman with money. He was a narcissistic, egotistical, traitor RINO and never met a camera he didn’t like. He always voted against the Republicans to get on TV. He destroyed the health plan just for spite. What a horrible, horrible man. TIME TO FIND OUT THE FACTS MEGAN.
Exactly what greatness did McCain really achieve in his life? I know he was a prisoner war hero and lived through some rough times which i appreciate for his service. But after that we got dumb [email protected]@ Obamacare because of him………..thanks for nothing John.
He was no war hero the way he was captured was because he disobeyed the order to stay with the squadron of planes he was flying with, he took off on his own hot dogging again and got shot down, he broke both arms because he couldn’t eject from the plane properly, he was not tortured by the Vietnam but was treated like royalty by telling tales on other POWS they called him songbird, it gripes my gut every time I hear him called a hero, he was a traitor and how I know this I had a friend who was sent to Vietnam, when Don came home his feet was so bad because of being wet and infected he couldn’t wear shoes he was underweight told me sometimes they got fed but only one meal a day sometimes not at all, look at pictures of McCain when he was released from the prison camp compare them with pictures of the other prisons released, it was apparent the he didn’t miss a mea while the rest look half starved, I doubt this post will get posted because capitalhill.org doesn’t like what I post I fill in every block, name, Email, website Hughes.net
Meghan so you think your dad was a fine person – which is fine. But don’t expect everyone else to do the same. He was not. Your dad brought allot of it on himself.
MEGAN, Go get Help, You are a very sick Woman.
John McCain was a traitor and a communist and the fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree.
Simply Put John McCain Was A traitor To The United States of America!
He Was The Worst Nightmare In The Navy’s History!
Meghan McCain is, indeed, an idiot. She is unbalanced when it comes to the facts about her father, who was admirable only one time in his life, and that was his decision to remain a prisoner in North Vietnam until his prison mates were freed, also. Prior to that, however, his military history is more histrionic than good history. His superiors knew that his being shot down was his own fault, but covered it up due the rank of his father. As for his first marriage, he divorced that woman because she was disfigured from an auto accident, and, word is that he married Megan’s mother because of her vast wealth. Her father’s act in not voting for the end of Obamacare was a complete disservice to the country, and, in particular, to his party. Trump has more than a little reason to despise John McCain. Furthermore, Meghan is so stupid she jumped to the wrong conclusion that Trump had the carrier named after her father covered for Trump’s arrival in Japan; he probably, should have, but didn’t! Meghan, wake up and smell the roses: everyone expects you to love your late father, but he, was, for the most part, a despicable person!!
McCain your a idiot just like your low life brain dead scumbag moron dad
McCain, your a idiot just like your brain dead low life scumbag moron dad
This whole story smells , just like hiding the bust in the Oval Office . She should like other daughters be proud of her dad but this is getting silly.
lol see stupid bitch. hate destroys. your dad was a traitor in VN and died a traitor cause he lost,to a better man then and now. joh vc killed more sailors than the vc. breakdown more .your hate and ignorance about your dad is what eats ate you. the ignorance/sheltering about your dumb ass assertion that you think the american public share your views of your dad is so dem like. or traitor, runs in the family huh. get lost bitch this isnt the View. lol
Megan is the daughter of an asshole. I served with piece of shit on the aircraft carrier he was on and his father bailed his ass out of trouble often. He also got 4 of my friends killed while on the carrier.
