USA has nothing to do but spam stupid news. Fixed it for you.
Battleships are the opposite of what any military needs right now. I mean, unless we're literally going to start a war with China.
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.
USS Floating Pedo Party Palace
The USS Implications
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
You forgot USS Wind Turbine Cancer
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
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.
boondoggle
USS Bone Spur
Sir. The battleship is unavailable because of its bone spurs
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.
As soon as the next president comes in, it's scorched earth time.
That’s nice grandpa, but it’s time for your nap before you rage tweet all night.
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Yeh, even carriers are considered potentially outdated by some military planners should the US ever face an opponent that can actually fight back.
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.
How about a dump truck?
The world's first orange battleship that fucks kids
Will they be gold-plated?
Why are we building battleships? Aren’t they obsolete? Like at this point isn’t the whole edge for naval dominance submarines?
I think ukraine has shown its small naval drones, both submersible and non-submersible.
Battleships are meant to bombard land positions... not go ship to ship. Leave that to the escorts.
Why put 50 billion into one weapons platform when it can be sunk by a cheap drone?
I don't get it.
Narcissism and cronyism. What other reasons does trump ever do things for?
Yeah, we'll be changing that. In the future, it will be illegal to name anything after traitors, and that includes Confederate Civil War officers, and all MAGAs.
Anybody that objects will be investigated as a Domestic Terrorist, and if found to be actively MAGA, will go to prison.
The name Trump will be treated like the name Adolf. Orange spray tans will be the new Charlie Chaplin mustache.
They said he's a narcissist
Literally the only way to associate the name Trump with Class.
USS pedo express
Is this like space force or the golden dome? Ie. a steaming pile of bullshit from the Swiss cheese mind of a dementia ward patient??
Space force might actually be a good idea, despite all the bs and misrepresentation. I can’t claim to know anything about military chain of command but if they say it’s beneficial to have a separate org focusing on space assets like satellites, I have no reason to claim otherwise
Not a good idea
There's a reason we don't have battleships anymore all around the world.
If you put all the firepower on one platform, you lose everything when that platform sinks. With the sophisticated asymmetrical weaponry out there, plus the ability to use cheap drone swarms, it's much smarter to spread the firepower over multiple platforms.
But diaper Donny the crooked pedo wants what all dictators want: compensate their micropenis with everything made bigger and more impressive than others while adding their name onto everything.
One torpedo and your golden battleship will be a very effective new coral reef.
yeah, they've been pushing for smaller and smaller carriers from what i hear from my former (he earned that former) marine bil

Given his long list of failures and placing the most incompetent people into important positions, this ship will most likely do a Wasa on launch.
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.
