Snowflake Donald Trump

From The NYTimes:

The White House asked the Navy to hide a destroyer named after Senator John McCain in order to avoid having the ship appear in photographs taken while President Trump was visiting Japan this week, White House and military officials said Wednesday.

Although Navy officials insisted they did not hide the ship, the John S. McCain, they did give all of the sailors aboard the day off on Tuesday as Mr. Trump visited Yokosuka Naval Base.

And From The Washington Post:

The White House asked Navy officials to obscure the USS John S. McCain while President Trump was visiting Japan, Pentagon and White House officials said Wednesday night.

A senior Navy official confirmed he was aware that someone at the White House sent a message to service officials in the Pacific requesting that the USS John McCain be kept out of the picture while the president was there. That led to photographs taken Friday of a tarp obscuring the McCain name, said the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation.

When senior Navy officials grasped what was happening, they directed Navy personnel who were present to stop, the senior official said. The tarp was removed on Saturday, before Trump’s visit, he added.

The USS John McCain was originally named for the late Senator's father and grandfather, both Navy admirals and both named John McCain.

The decision to hide or otherwise obscure The McCain from the orange snowflake's easily triggered view is an insult to TWO Navy admirals, ONE US Senator and all the men and women who served onboard her over the years.

All to protect the fragile ego of a man who opted out of his own military service with five deferments - one for his fake bone spurs.
