VIDEO Trump says 'not involved' in decision to obscure USS John S. McCain

Trump says 'not involved' in decision to obscure USS John S. McCain In a recent video, President Trump addresses reports claiming he asked Navy officials to obscure the USS John S. McCain during his visit to Japan. He firmly denies any involvement in the decision, stating, "I don’t know what happened. I wasn’t involved. I would not have done that." Trump reflects on his complicated feelings about John McCain, expressing his disapproval of McCain due to his stance on healthcare and U.S. military interventions. During the discussion, Trump reiterates that although he wasn’t a fan of McCain, he would never have taken the action of obscuring the ship, suggesting that someone else acted with good intentions based on his known disdain for the late senator. When questioned about whether he owes an apology to the sailors of the McCain, Trump dismissively claims, "No, not at all," suggesting there were many other sailors present, reinforcing that the day was significant for them. This video reveals the continued tension surrounding Trump's views on McCain and highlights the complexities of how political figures interact with military symbolism.
