TL;DR - bad article.

The media is trying to make it out as though Trump wanted the ship out of sight because he disliked, and was openly disrespectful towards, the now passed Senator McCain. This just isn't accurate.

First off, someone at the Whitehouse made the request,
...this is very different from POTUS putting in the request, or ordering the ship be moved. Most likely some twit official put in the request trying to score points, or avoid a situation they thought Trump may cause a scene. Trump says he had now knowledge of the ...
...request, and NBC provides no evidence to show otherwise.

The e-mail that the article refers to is supposed to demonstrate something official. Problem is, they didn't release it. This tells me there's nothing in there that has anything to do with Trump. A clear red herring...
and, frankly, bad reporting. Its the journalistic equivalent to saying "you'll just have to trust me."

Finally, article tries to make the inference that Trump takes issue with the ship's namesake. Last I checked, Trump didn't have an issue with John S. McCain jr., ...
... Senator McCain's father. While Senator McCain is recognised as an important figure and the McCain family having a long and honourable history with the USN, the ship wasn't named after him.

The insinuation that Trump wanted the ship moved because of his feud with...
...the Senator is, as of yet, unfounded.

Slight correction: John S. McCain Sr. his grandfather.

I have been quiet since I've returned. I've been reflecting and trying to make sense out of it all. The question continues to bother me - why would an individual want to support policies or behaviors that hurt someone?

Thread follows
#WhyIResist
Gun Violence. The reports flow in faster than you can imagine. I have lost count of how many shootings there were this part week or today.

So why would an individual or party support an organization such as the #NRA We must think of the greater good and support #GunControl
Hate Crimes. Why would a person say hateful things and create more pain for others by inciting hate? Even worse why would an individual or party not stand up to such hate?

#Trump is going to speak in the Rose Garden any minute now. Is he going to lie a bunch about reopening the government? Is he just going to yell "no collusion! witch hunt!" over and over again? Both? Stay tuned!
Oh hell, #Trump is going to take questions too. This is going to be a sh*tshow.
#Trump is running about a half hour late. I wonder if he's spent this whole time on the phone with Ann Coulter, begging for permission to cave?

I ask everyone who live on Libertard strongholds to video document the massive snowflake meltdown when & if POTUS declares National ER to build the wall. Record Record & share it’ll be priceless we will have MEMEs for 1000 years

We can ensure that future generations have MEMES
Declare National Emergency
Build the wall
Release FISA
Open the gates of WAR
We are ready

MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN

Who funds the IEA, the TPA, the ASI &co?
You know, the RW 'free trade' thick tanks advocating tax havens, "freedom" (no regulations like workers' rights or environmental protection), no welfare (no tax & no free healthcare).
Basically, "Only the wealthier survive" philosophy?
1/n
*Could it be* that it has something to do with defending their funders' interests?
Today, I'm going to tell you the Thick Tanks' Hydra tale.
Featuring Atlas, huge piles of money, tradition, "free speech", useful idiots and a very clear agenda that Brexit/Trump are a part of.
2/n
Take a seat: It's a long story, with a lot of players, including politicians, pretty ladies squatting your TV, the climate change denial's network, the global fascist movement, Silicon Valley/multiname data-stealing/misusing company & private companies' involved in elections.

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
