Acting White House chief of staff: It was "not an unreasonable thing" for someone in the White House to try to have the USS McCain moved to please President Trump. https://nbcnews.to/2MnE2IF - @MeetThePress

Pandering to a traitorous man child is not unreasonable? Only inside the cult of Trump..

1. He's a coward in every way, on every level.

2. Is there a reasonable stupid thing?

3. Placating the man-baby in the White House is how they keep from getting punished.

It's like an abusive family relationship. Mulvaney doesn't want Daddy to hit him so he tries to do everything Daddy wants, not let anything happen that might make Daddy angry, and to assure everyone outside the family that it's all perfectly reasonable and everything's fine. Probably from his perspective it was perfectly reasonable to ask the Navy to move the ship because he didn't want to deal with Daddy's temper when he got home.

4. It wasn't unreasonable if the President of the United States was 6.

5. Of course it was unreasonable

Isn't tRump supposed to be CIC, and of all our military--not excluding ships named after someone he doesn't like?
How can anyone defend this slight and dereliction of duty?

6. trump is a poor baby who can not stand being compared to McCain

7. mulvaney resonated with what I saw in 20 minutes of fox bartiromo and pence. Seemed obvious

where they were just dutifully repeating memorized lines at one another.

8. Yes, it was an unreasonable thing to ask. It is unreasonable to think

that the CIC of the US military would be offended by the mere sight of a USN ship because of the name it bore on the hull.

Whether Trump was behind the request or not, the fact that his staff sees the request as "not unreasonable" is very troubling.

9. It is beyond all reason and understanding...

...that Donald Trump is President of the United States.

10. Mulvaney

Trump's little ass kissing toady.

[Blue Owl]

11. It was perfectly treasonable

12. Yes, totally normal behavior

if you’re dealing with the kid from the Twilight Zone who can wish you into the corn field. Less normal when dealing with a head of state.

13. Once again Trump gets away with being total trash

but these same assholes will start World War III the next time some pro athlete "disrespects the troops" by kneeling during the anthem
