Amid a report that the White House coordinated with U.S. Navy officials to move the USS John McCain warship “out of sight” during President Donald Trump’s recent visit to Japan, the late senator’s daughter Meghan McCain blasted the president for making her grief “unbearable.” “Trump is a child who will always be deeply threatened by the greatness of my dads incredible life,” wrote “The View” co-host in response to a Wall Street Journal reporter’s tweet about the story. “There is a lot of criticism of how much I speak about my dad, but nine months since he passed, Trump won’t let him RIP. So I have to stand up for him. It makes my grief unbearable,” she added.

The Journal published a report about an email from an unnamed official with the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command who said he had coordinated with the White House about the ship before Trump’s visit. “USS John McCain needs to be out of sight,” read the email. After the article published, Trump tweeted that he was “not informed” of the request but “loved being with our great Military Men and Women” during his visit.
