    What I like to see in a President is leadership, gravitas, statesmanship, and all the qualities that Donald Trump lacks. Nothing underlines that idea more than this epic pettiness by a president whose ego is so frail, his dislike of John McCain was so great, he didn't want the USS John McCain anywhere near his vision and that of cameras during his visit to Japan.

    Such a frail ego with his fingers on the nuke football? I think not. We do not need four more years of this man who is clearly unfit for the office.

    Former President Donald Trump’s White House asked the US Navy to hide a warship named after John McCain on his 2019 visit to Japan, stunning naval officials, newly disclosed government documents confirm.

    [...]

    The newly disclosed emails reveal that Navy officials asked for names of the individuals who requested the move. One message simply says “This just makes me sad…”


    The documents:

    Now, of course, there are some in the peanut gallery who are going to argue that Trump had nothing to do with this. Even if that is true, which I sincerely doubt, but if it is, why are underlings doing this? Obviously, because of Trump's petty rants against McCain. No matter how you slice it, it adds up to a frail ego because only a frail ego would diss John McCain, who has a US Naval ship named after him and The Donald doesn't.

    And yes, it's a slow news day, but so what?

    Trump's pettiness demonstrates that for four years we had a 5 year old as President. However, one wishes this were the WORST of the Trump presidency. Instead of all his criminal activity, his abuse of power and his ongoing attempt to become the country's dictator.

    Old news.

    Now we have an elderly president whose intellect has reverted back to that of a five year old.

    Out of the hundred million or so people eligible to be president, these two were the best we could do?

    Apparently this is a democrat talking point. Mention McCain and that is all you get on google. The question is why bring this up at this time. Likely it is intended as a distraction from Harris' disastrous "alliance with North Korea" gaff.

    Quite an interesting read this 109 pages of senior level military brass fluttering around like they're planning a Quinceañera.
    Absolutely pathetic.

    Ever notice our friends on the left side start up threads not on our current president Biden and all his great achievements but on Trump...

    Very slow, because wasn't this already reported during his presidency? Dear god isn't anyone making a political speech somewhere to cover or something or some bill getting out of the house's chamber.

    You claim you "sincerely doubt" that Trump had nothing to do with this. Yet you have to put the caveat in that he might not have....Why? Rhetorical question of course. Because nothing in your article shows that he had anything to do with it. But of course even knowing this you still have to spin just in case he actually didn't have anything to do with it...and you spin it in such a way as to put the blame on Trump anyways.

    Also...your own article contradicts itself.

    Your article states:

    Yet they have a twitter comment from the Navy Chief of Information straight up saying that the name was not "obscured". Someone F'd that up putting that in there.

    Seriously, you have no credibility. Every single thread you start, every post you comment in, is nothing more than propaganda.

    Trump just can't take it that there is ship named after McCain, but that there is no ship named after Trump. I hope there will never be one named after Trump, once history determines that he is not deserving of such honors.

    why the singing canary?
    Was that his nick among his fellow pows? Seems maybe unlikely given that the man was 3G Naval Royalty.

    I don't like Trump. If you like Biden, what is your excuse?

    Yeah, I remember this incident. If I recall correctly the McCain movement was actually a pre-scheduled shift of the McCain was a previously schedule pier shift for repairs.

    Continue the loonie left circle jerk.
