Because it will be full of Bubba's sea men?
Sounds like the kind of warship you'd buy from AliExpress
Shiny with fake gold trim everywhere, and gold colored flames painted on the side.
I'm picturing all those Wish website memes....
This is not something a sane president would do. They would not want to win a nobel peace prize then want to attach their name to the deadliest tier of a weapon.
It isn't the deadliest tier of a weapon. Battleships have been obsolete for over 80 years now.
I mean... maybe look up the Nobel family and their contributions to the world.
Like, I sincerely doubt that it is the motivation at all. But... it would be ridiculously fitting.
Dave Eggers described him as having a "formidable intellect"!
What a vainglorious asshole.
Utter embarrassment... anyone associated with this idiot ought to be profoundly ashamed of themselves...
I honestly think so many of them went so balls-deep on embracing this loser that they cannot admit to themselves, never mind others, just how wrong they were.
They say that family and friends of psychopathic serial killers have that problem. Can’t viscerally admit that they accepted the killer into the family.
The vast majority of them aren't in the denial stages, because they're still ignorant of everything bad that he's doing.
Remember, republicans have been maintaining a media ecosystem (Fox News and select radio pundits) for 40+ years spoonfeeding lies to these people, telling them at every opportunity that all other media networks besides them are liars and out to get them/destroy the country/etc. It's a relationship not unlike domestic abuse, with the abuser telling their victim that no one will "love" and "care for" them as much as the abuser does.
Fox News isn't reporting on Trump's low poll numbers, or rising prices, or that ICE is kidnapping innocent people, or that the govt released fully redacted Epstein files, or the damning unredacted files implicating Trump, or any other thing that could put this administration in a negative light. Their bottom line and continued existence depends on them keeping their audience divorced from reality. And their audience largely considers any other media besides Fox News as fake, so these ghouls must keep the grift going and the lies flowing.
Something's badly wrong with those people. Anyone who's not comatose knows that anyone who tells you that everyone but them is a liar, is a fucking liar.
Oh, so you've met my parents?
Man's scrambling to change media and public focus. Scrambling.
Design highlights of the new #Trump class #battleships:
He has some kind of weird fixation on hydraulic vs. electric, too, so....have to incorporate that somehow.
This guy is just so fuckin' weird.
One tiny gun.
All tiny hands on deck!
"At least it goes off quickly."
Everything leans slightly to the bow
The only way he can have any class
Bit of trivia: the mid-life refit program for Canada's Iroquois-class destroyer was called TRUMP: Tribal Refit and Update Modernisation Program.
That program happened in the 1980s, so Mr. Trump is 40ish years late to claim the name.
The US naval shipbuilding has been reduced to like ... two yards ... Bremerton and Baltimore, i think ?
Newport News is still around, it’s the only yard that’s built every nuclear powered aircraft carrier in the world, other than the Charles de Gaulle.
China apparently has a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier currently under construction. I guess it doesn't count 'til it's finished, though.
Like a 4 years old: "but Mommy! At the kindergarten Kim said that he got an air carrier! I want one too!"
Probably the worst ship that can be built, if the current admnistration is an indicator. Big as a carrier, but oblong instead of ship-shaped, and propelled by a standard-sized outboard motor sold by one of Trumps relatives for $fortune.
Will also sink on launch, because including a bottom was too expensive.
including a bottom was too expensive
You'd think Trump-class would have a massive bottom.
Or a gold-plated one.
They sink THAT fast?
I can't wait to see these no class vessels
So half way build, then stop paying people, and then blaming everyone else for not finishing it, and then scrapping it all while blaming Biden for the "Very failed ships that Biden should never have started building" ?
Warship sized
He's got hips
like battleships!
Trump ass battle hips
What in the bingo 2025??
glory holes in every room!
Tell me about this Trump class! Is it couth? Is it debonair? I must know more.
It's probably like his steaks, or his vodka, or his airline, or his casinos....
Gonna sink?
It'll be sold on late night TV? Operators are standing by, call now!
Will these Trump class ships be really really huge but have no substance?
No VLS cells is such the perfect cherry on the turd.
Tiny ego If you center everything around you. Well..
