I’ve heard so many versions of this alleged incident that I don’t know what to believe, but I have a hard time believing that Trump gave any thought to covering up the name of the ship. I doubt he even knew it was there.
I saw the President on TV somewhere on the White House grounds saying he knew nothing about the incident and did not order the ship moved.
Some Obama leftover and/or deep state type (one and the same) must have plotted to undermine the president and make him look petty, which he is not.
