We should have a contest to see who can guess  what the next ludicrous, tabloid, fake news item the MSM will elevate to their top story to vilify Trump.

Read the facts. Trump knew nothing about any of this.........but what was there to know?  Nothing was done to the ship. Nothing happened. More anonymous tips, unidentified sources  and wild speculation. 

Every MSM outlet made this a huge story. Here's one of CNN's reports.

White House, Navy exchanged emails about keeping USS McCain out of Trump's sight


https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/30/politics/uss-john-mccain-japan-white-house-navy-trump/index.html

Never mind this:

"The US Navy's chief of information, Rear Adm. Charlie Brown, also tweeted Wednesday night that the name had been visible.

"The name of USS John S. McCain was not obscured during the POTUS visit to Yokosuka on Memorial Day," Brown said in a tweet. "The Navy is proud of that ship, its crew, its namesake and its heritage." 

From CBS:

Trump says he was not told of request to move USS John McCain 'out of sight'

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/uss-john-mccain-during-president-trump-japan-visit-officers-were-told-to-keep-warship-from-trumps-view/

"It also said sailors assigned to the ship, who generally wear caps bearing its name, were given the day off during Trump's visit to the nearby USS Wasp."


They have him now. We need an investigation. Trump wanted to keep these guys away and is covering it up. This is another impeachable offense!


Oh, wait,  "However, the U.S. official said sailors on the ship were given the day off because of Memorial Day"


"Two U.S. officials told the AP that sailors on the ship were not told to stay away but that many were away for the long weekend. The officials also said that about 800 sailors from more than 20 ships and Navy commands were on the USS Wasp during the president's visit, and all wore the same Navy hat that has no logo, rather than wearing individual ship or command hats."

metmike: So Trump is invited to Japan by it's new emperor, in fact he was the first world leader invited to come over there to meet with him.  Trump’s visit to Japan was designed to highlight the U.S.-Japan alliance and showcase the warm relations between the two leaders. Trump said they deliberated over trade, Iran and more during hours of talks at Akasaka Palace.

And what does the MSM focus on?

Breaking news from Japan,  we have an anonymous tip that somebody in the White House was trying to disgrace the memory of  Senator McCain by hiding his ship and crew members because that's what Trump wants,  even though we can't confirm at this time that he actually ordered it. Trump claims that he didn't know anything about it but we will rehash for you, the history of this rocky relationship, so you will know why this happened and even interview McCain's daughter about it. This is huge. Viewers and readers need to know, especially about how this illustrates once again, why this president should not be president. 

This, after the top story earlier this week was about Trump's reaction to what the looney N.Korean leader said about Joe Biden.

I find it amazing that, even with all the crappy truths about Trump, they still feel the need to manufacture negative fake news....

MSM: "We have confirmed the news from last week about nothing happening to the McCain ship or crew members aboard the ship , but we have new, breaking news, that an unidentified source, wrote a paragraph suggesting that the ship have less visibility.  That somebody likely had ties to the White House. The president denies having any knowledge of this but we will rehash the entire saga of the Trump-McCain feud here for you again for the umpteenth time and let YOU decide if he is lying and really did want to diminish McCain with this action........that actually never even happened"


OK, thanks for the update cliff. Keep us posted.

It will certainly be interesting to see which one or more of 45's "well intentioned" goons made the request to the US Navy to hide that ship and whether they will be willing to take the fall without naming the originator of that request.

No Tim this is a "cliff hanger" (-:

Funny how the MSM takes some of us on these wild rides with these, sometimes trial  events that are blown way out of proportion with wild speculating(like Trump colluding with Russia) where they spin the actual news into much more significant events using narratives that get repeated over and over................and they always relate to something horrible that Trump did.


Tabloid news from political activists selling this stuff as professional journalism. 


  And you never know how long it will last. They have lasted for as long as 2.5 years(actually the release of the Mueller report showing no collusion has NOT stopped that never ending saga) ...........or until their source gets busted for being a liar, thief and facing over 300 years in prison if convicted.

If Avenatti had not been accused of these crimes, there is no question that he would still be one of their top interviews.
