Probably misrepresentation and Fake news narrative spin. You do that a bit.
IF we can establish he said this
IF he said it is an not unreasonable ask to move it
IF it was about Trump not liking McCain
If it was the sole reason
Probably wasn't all of that. COULD have been, but I doubt it.
Probably what happened was someone asked something innocuous like "So could Trump ask that the USSS McCain get moved and some other carrier go where it was?" where "that's not an unreasonable ask" would be a fine answer BUT reporters could then say, "So if Trump wanted it moved (because he hates McCain) Mulvaney thinks it is perfectly fine. Okay I will quote Mulvaney and I have a narrative. Damn some real nitwits will not critique this at all"
