For members of the regime, staring at their shoes is becoming a thing.

[Billiejeens]

I simply don't believe that. It very much sounds like another form of rationalization. Unless you voted for the country's demise.

President Trump is doing exactly what we all voted for him to do.

100% different than the destruction that you want - we get that, but you lost.

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

Let a Illiterate draft dodger design a Navy ship?
What could go wrong?

Actually not.

Trump naming ships after himself is another manifestation of the fascist Trump regime no one wanted or voted for.

No one is suggesting that you do it.

Actually not.

Don't tell is what we voted for you ******* fool.

walk softly/big stick was around long before Trump was.....~S~

Walking softly isn't on Don's menu.

Trump Announces New ‘Trump Class’ of Warships​

President Trump announced on Monday the construction of a new “Trump class” of warships that would anchor what he called a “golden fleet” for the U.S. Navy, fulfilling a long-held goal to give a personal makeover to a fleet of ships he described as “old and tired and obsolete.”

The ships will augment the Navy’s more than five dozen Arleigh Burke-class destroyers — 9,000-ton vessels that are currently a mainstay of the Navy fleet but that Mr. Trump has disparaged as failing to compete with the vessels of foreign fleets, according to a Pentagon official speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss the plans for the ships.

In giving the new class of ships his own name, Mr. Trump also continued a self-aggrandizing streak of imprinting his brand on various aspects of the federal government. Just last week, Mr. Trump’s name was added to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the premier performing arts center in Washington. The center’s board of trustees, a majority of which were handpicked by Mr. Trump, voted to rename the institution.

His name was also planted on the U.S. Institute of Peace and he has added the gold décor prominent in his Mar-a-Lago club and residence to the Oval Office.

What does he mean by "golden fleet?" Will these ships have gold crappers?

When they turn off the cameras and the lights go dark don't you think even the most obsequious underlings in trump's government think to themselves, "OMG, you have to be kidding."

Some critics warned the “battleship” and the Navy’s overarching plans for a “Golden Fleet” — upgraded surface combatant ships joining the Navy’s inventory of aircraft carriers and submarines — fell short of what was needed to deter China and other maritime adversaries.

Mark Montgomery, a retired rear admiral and current senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies in Washington, said the ships were behemoths ill-suited to confront China.

Admiral Montgomery, a former director of operations at U.S. Pacific Command, said the Navy instead needed a dispersed fleet of minimally manned or unmanned ships with large weapons magazines to combat the Chinese threats at sea.

“These ‘battleships’ will achieve none of these tactical goals,” Admiral Montgomery said.

Yeah, but they are named for trump so does their effectiveness really matter? Certainly not to Don.

Yeah, Rubio looked like he was about to crack up.

 

[berg80]

I've seen his niece Mary Trump, a psychologist, discussing this. He's been this way since his difficult childhood. Constantly desperate for validation and respect. Willing to do or say anything for it.

The more seeks validation the more he loses respect. Though his reservoir of respect has nearly been empty for decades outside the cult.

 

[Mac1958]

 

[candycorn]

This is proof iron clad Trump ***** kids.

I disagree it’s iron clad proof but it looks more and more like he did.

 

[berg80]

Yeah, Rubio looked like he was about to crack up.

How they are able to keep a straight face......well.......let's just say it's a Herculean task.

I wonder if folks like Rubio have considered the reputational damage he has suffered for when this nightmare is over? Everyone associated with the regime will be a pariah.

 

[Billiejeens]

Yeah, Rubio looked like he was about to crack up.

- Knowing how retarded ***** like you were going to react.

In the Vance Presidency?
I don't think so.

 

[ColonelAngus]

If these ships were named after Biden, they would be referred to as the “NO CLASS”.

or FAILED CLASS.

SPECIAL ED CLASS.

AMERIGOTIT CLASS.

AUTOPEN CLASS.

and others…

 

[dblack]

He will never, ever fill the hole he's trying so desperately to fill.

Much will have to be undone.

The two-party thrash dance.

I Can't wait to see Trump on Mt. Rushmore, holding his Nobel peace prize.

Conjuring up the word bootlicker.

He will most certainly get his own mountain.

Mount Trumpmore and a 5th bust would be so ******* epic.
