Meghan McCain , daughter of the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), seized a few minutes at the start of The View on Thursday to address President Donald Trump s latest reported slight against her father, who died of cancer in August.

Reports by The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times state that the White House asked the Navy to hide the USS John S. McCain during Trumps visit to Japan this week so that the ships name would not appear in photos with the president.

The warship is named after the late Arizona senator, his father and his grandfather. Trumps antagonistic relationship with John McCain was well-documented .

Its impossible to go through the grief process when my father who has been dead for 10 months is constantly in the news cycle because the president is so obsessed with the fact that hes never going to be a great man like he was, said Meghan McCain, who co-hosts the ABC daytime show.

Its a bizarre way to grieve and say goodbye to my dad, she continued, saying that Trump has made her father omnipresent in politics but not like in a way were honoring him.

Please have more compassion. This is very hard, she said. I try and put on a game face every day and try to be as stoic as possible. Grief is tricky.

She added: Im sorry if nine months isnt enough for me to move on.

McCain said Wednesday in a tweet that Trumps attacks on her deceased father have made her grief unbearable, but she continues to defend him because Trump wont let him RIP.

She reiterated that point Thursday, saying the allegations are also bad for Americans and put[s] people in the Navy in horrific situations where they fear retribution if they do not follow orders.

The presidents actions have consequences. When you are repeatedly attacking my father and war heroes, it creates a culture in the military where people are fearful to show my fathers name in one way or another, McCain said.

Still, she noted that she does not blame service members for allegedly attempting to cover up the ships name which the Navy denies doing.

Both The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal noted that sailors on the McCain, who typically wear caps bearing the ships name, were given the day off. The Times said the sailors were also not invited to hear Trump speak aboard the amphibious ship Wasp, while other military service members were present.

Trump has said he was not informed about anything having to do with the Navy Ship USS John. S. McCain during my recent visit to Japan.

Yet the president said whoever made the request was likely well-meaning.
