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.

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.
The new vessels, which the president calls battleships, will be the latest in what the White House envisions as a Golden Fleet.
Dunno. They’re quite easy to spot, aren’t they?
you get 100 of them in formation and light the enemy on fire with the sun’s rays
The colour seems right, but the proportions are easy off.
I’m calling it: Trump is one Western movie watch away from ordering the military to bring back cavalry.
No no no, you don’t understand. This one is going to be more than a hundred times more powerful because it’s going to be bigger and faster!
moped cavalry?
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

Sir the autopilot is hard coded to go to some island
Whoops let me just…. flips switch
Sir. The battleship is unavailable because of its bone spurs
Bastard is trying to put his name so many places it’ll be damned near impossible to get rid of them all.
Has anyone seen a good list?
Name on:
- Donald Trump US Institute for Peace
- Donald Trump Kennedy center
- Trump class battleship
Face on:
- Gold card (the greencard you can buy into)
- Annual National Parks Pass
What am I missing?
I bet the ballroom will eventually be dedicated as the “Donald Trump Memorial East Wing Ballroom” if it ever gets finished.
Mega projects, no less with vanity as the centerpieces are a sign of weak militaries. The strong militaries are pursuing drone and anti drone technologies. Russian frigates warships are disabled by small Ukrainian aqua drones; and are hiding at port. The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
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
Alladeen alladeen
It’s gonna smell like shit and for some reason everything’s gonna lean towards the bow
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
The complex this man has about his small penis is insane.
Here I am thinking how this will play out once MAGA ends. How was it in Germany after the war? I bet there used to be Hitler and Himmler Streets etc.
