    Just delay production until he’s out of office then just cancel the whole plan. It’s all a waste. Trump is throwing his name on anything and everything hoping that he’ll be remembered. He’ll be remembered, just more like Nixon. A fucking stain on our history.

      You think he’s planning on leaving power? When he goes, Junior will take the throne.

        They’ll pull a Mitch McConnell and won’t let anyone know he’s dead. He’ll “work from home”. Mitch is the dry run.

    It’s one battleship, Michael. What could it cost, $10?

    What would win? A 23B battleship or 5 $300 drones?

      You can’t expect reason from people willingly detached from reality.

    Battleships are completely obsolete. A certain other dictator bankrupted his government and lost a war because of useless military projects.

    “Trump class”… yes, because he’s been doing so wonderfully at blowing up innocent fishermen and school girls while Iran teabags us every other day.

    I guess it fits. The “Trump class” ship will cost the country a massive amount of money and then when push comes to shove it will shit itself in front of the entire world.
