The move comes amid outcry from Democrats after the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts affixed Trump’s name to its sign in Washington.
Donald Trump’s name is being attached to a new class of U.S. battleships that will have nuclear capabilities.
Making the announcement at an event at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, Navy Secretary John Phelan referred to the warships as “Trump-class battleships" and said a forthcoming vessel dubbed the USS Defiant will be “the largest, deadliest and most versatile and best-looking warship anywhere on the world’s oceans.”
Trump’s eponymous battleships will be armed with guns and missiles, as well as hypersonic weapons, electronic rail guns and high-powered lasers.
Sir. The battleship is unavailable because of its bone spurs
That’s cause it’s entirely made out of bone spurs.
Does he know trump means fart?
There won’t be any battleship.
This is just another grift to streak the government coffers dry
Same with the " golden dome", “doge”, etc… all scams so his buddies can get lucrative contracts.
Even so, this is suuuuch a sad thing. A five year old would make a fantasy battle ship and name it after himself. Its pathetic
boondoggle
It’s not even that. He’s so desperate for any kind of legacy that he’s throwing his name at anything he can in the hopes it will stick, not realizing that the first non-MAGA president will remove his name from everything.
Sir the autopilot is hard coded to go to some island
Naming a class of ships after a (checks notes) draft dodger. Makes sense to me.
USS Bone Spur
USS Floating Pedo Party Palace
USS Yuge
Don’t forget the;
- USS Boondoggle
- USS Malignant Narcissist
- USS Grifter in Chief
- USS Beautiful Clean Coal
- USS Shark Exterminator
and the new flagship,
- USS Like Nobody’s Ever Seen Before
Lol all good names. Also
USS Big Beautiful Boat
USS Defendant
You forgot USS Wind Turbine Cancer
USS Bird Murder
The USS Implications
😂🤣 Lol.
They lost their island, they need a new home
So it’ll be 300% over budget, be riddled with problems from cutting every possible corner, torpedo itself, blame Biden, and then explode in public?
It’s entirely possible it will simply be a scheme to transfer billions of dollars into their own pockets. Things gonna be made out of sheet aluminum and zip ties and cost 30 trillion dollars
I was going to ask whether this was a trump “sharpie on map but we can ignore it once the press briefing is over” kind of situation or more of a “musk drew a couple of lines, glue them on with water soluble non-heat-resisident” kind of situation.
So, Trumped up.
It was probably easier for the DoW to pretend that this cruiser is a battleship than to make Trump understand that the battleships he keeps demanding are useless in a modern war.
He only knows the word from seeing the board game that one time him and Epstein snorted coke off it
Next Dem should reclassify “Trump Ship” to mean the shittiest possible boat. Leave it as a classification, just redefine it
Guy is so vain. If it isn’t a re-badge of a project. Lay a keel or two and they’ll rot in the yard before completion.
Those ships that you need to get rid of but it’s too expensive to get rid of them so you just have them rotting away somewhere.
oh hey i live near there. the mothball fleet is pretty cool actually.
If this was a just world, it would be the name of the leaky prison hulk that he’s chained up inside.
Surprised this hasn’t been posted yet in this thread.
This is the rare case where I don’t actually disagree. Then again, I think he’d do this narcissistic nonsense even if people didn’t care about Epstein. Creating petty distractions is just a habit for him, and it has always served him well.
If this ever get build, it’ll sink on the maiden voyage from the weight of the golden cannons just like everyone knew it would but nobody in charge dared tell the king. Oh wait, that was another time and place.
Wow, I thought this was a joke.
I thought the Kennedy rename was an onion article. What the fuck
Not in this timeline buddy!
Didn’t we stop using battleships once stuff like guided missiles started being common?
We’ve seen in Ukraine how much destruction cheap drones can do when used intelligently.
he’s only calling them battleships because as a fascist he has a simplified understanding of history and a fetishization of the past. these are surface to surface missile launch platforms with helicopter landing pads
I’m no expert, but given the distributed nature of the stuff I’m seeing with Ukraine against Russia, I would think a “not all eggs in the same basket” approach would be the best idea
Yeh, even carriers are considered potentially outdated by some military planners should the US ever face an opponent that can actually fight back.
As soon as the next president comes in, it’s scorched earth time.
