JC , again you give accurate and informative news about the madman in the Presidency . Does Congress not understand the absolute instability of our Commander in Chief , is there no agency that can put a stop to his narcissistic bullshit ? Is this the future of the United States of America , run by a bunch of chicken chested , milksop , fop , dandy , wanker , pantywaste , S.O.B. s run by a totally unhinged narcissistic criminal ? God help America , and its population of non MAGA citizens . MAGA an acronym for Make the Asshole Go Away !

We know that Hitler's Germany did have a number of dissidents opposed to his madness, even several assassination plots. But it seems that once a consensus is built among enough people, fascism cannot be easily defeated or even set aside. For German Nazis, it had to be the Red Army storming Berlin. Where is our Red Army?

It looks like Trumps face is the boats A- Hole. How appropriate, when all that comes out of his mouth is bullshit.

Did you even read that these battleships are sitting ducks? Get with the times. They are obsolete for a reason. There is better technology. Do boats being bombed by us give you a clear view of how easy it is?!? Democrats wouldn’t spend money on the CRAP he does. Ballroom anyone?

What a narcissistic ass to name a class of ships after himself.

There cannot be a Trump Class of ships. Trump has no class.

In fairness, do we need to reflexively oppose every single thing Trump does? I agree calling them Trump class and caring about their esthetics are ridiculous! But, my understanding is that there are mixed views on viability of modern battleships amongst people who understand this stuff, so why not leave it at that?

The blogger and military expert Big Serge wrote a long essay on the battleship 'race' between Germany and Britain prior to WWI. Even though incredible resources were devoted to these ships, their impact on the war was negligible and the Battle of Jutland sent Germany's battleships back to port and they were unable to break Britain's blockade. Thus, Germany's submarines took over the sea duty.

Its called rebuilding the Navy. Something that should have been done a long time ago. Who cares if his name is attached to it. China has been doing this for years. We are behind.

Not with these battleships. They are obsolete and sitting ducks. You want the troops to just die right? Trump is garbage. Oh, and we aren’t China.

These are not WWII battleships. They will be most advanced in the world. And yes I am well aware we are not China. But they are the most dangerous threat to our way of life. So yes we should always be ahead of them. If a democrat did this you would love the idea. Trump will be gone soon enough. Its about our future. The Navy has been outdated for years. They need to build even more ships.
