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!

White House wanted USS John S. McCain covered up during Trump’s Japan visit
When senior Navy officials grasped what was happening, they directed Navy personnel to remove a tarp obscuring the McCain name, a senior official said.

WASHINGTON — President Trump on Thursday defended as “well-meaning” a White House official who directed the Navy to obscure the warship USS John S. McCain while Trump was visiting Japan, but he said he had no advance knowledge of the action.
“I don’t know what happened. I was not involved. I would not have done that,” Trump told reporters as he was leaving the White House for Colorado, where he is scheduled to address an Air Force Academy graduation ceremony.

Trump, however, suggested that his disdain for the late senator John McCain, R-Ariz., is well-known and that it was understandable that someone would try to keep a warship originally named for McCain’s father and grandfather, both Navy admirals, from his view.
“I was not a big fan of John McCain in any shape or form,” Trump said. “Now, somebody did it because they thought I didn’t like him, OK? And they were well-meaning.”
Trump went on to recount differences he had with McCain, including a vote against a Republican health-care bill that has been a frequent target of the president’s public ire, even following McCain’s death in August from brain cancer at age 81.
A senior White House official confirmed Wednesday that the person who issued the directive did not want the warship with the McCain name seen in photographs during Trump’s visit. The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations, said that the president was not involved in the planning, but that the request was made to keep Trump from becoming upset.

Helt galen och numera extremt paranoid.
Nu börjar stressen beta i gubbens huvud. Han ljuger extremt dåligt nu, på grund av han inte kan hålla ihop det längre. Hur många dagar ska han hålla på att twittra om det här och andra lögner han just kläckt ur sig, som tex att Ryssland fick honom vald?
