Acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney admitted on Sunday that it was a member of the White House advance team that asked for the ship to be moved. “The fact some 23- or 24-year-old person went to that site and said, ‘Oh my goodness, there’s the John McCain, we all know how the president feels about the former senator, that’s not the best backdrop, can somebody look into moving it?’” Mulvaney said on Meet the Press.

Too bad Trump can’t have his scapegoat executed like his buddy Kim would do.

We all know he wants to. :)

On the same day, the Associated Press also cited unnamed government officials in corroborating the substantive claims that the White House had asked Navy and Air Force officials to keep the USS John S. McCain out of view for Trump’s Memorial Day address. One of those officials reportedly clarified that a tarp used on the ship, which temporarily covered the vessel’s name, had been placed there as part of ongoing maintenance rather than specifically for the purpose of keeping the McCain family name out of view for Trump’s visit, and that the tarp had been removed before Trump’s speech.

FACT CHECK: Did the White House Ask the Navy to Keep the USS John S. McCain 'Out of Sight' for Trump's Visit?

Hold on, we have a big problem here even though I am not debating that Ballhaus likes to target Trump.

Why was the tarp put up in the first place specifically covering the name of the ship? Worse, after being taken down the next day why was a barge moved with an "acknowledgement" all of this occurred but with the explanation it was not moved to obscure the name of the ship?

We need to start being critical here. If everyone, including the President, is so proud of this ship and the crew why all this tarp and barge business?

And there is still an email exchange (we think) between the White House and the Navy on all this nonsense.

Something is missing from this story.

We don't know if there was a tug or not... the reporter is already a confirmed liar so I would assume that is a lie as well.
