President Trump said Thursday that the attempt by White House staffers to hide the destroyer USS John S. McCain during his trip to Japan was “well meaning” given his personal enmity for the late Arizona senator and former Republican presidential nominee.
In a tweet Wednesday night, Trump denied any knowledge about the attempt to move the ship, which is named for the late senator, as well as his father and grandfather, both of whom were Navy admirals. Sailors from the USS John S. McCain were given the day off on Monday, when Trump gave his speech on the USS Wasp. Officials told CNN that sailors were given four days off for Memorial Day weekend and that the number of people invited to the president’s speech was limited due to space on the ship."The name of USS John S. McCain was not obscured during the POTUS visit to Yokosuka on Memorial Day," Rear Adm. Charlie Brown, the Navy’s chief of information, tweeted Wednesday.
