In the latest show of idiotic self-indulgence from the world’s most insecure toddler, President Trump announced that he is ordering the Navy to build the “Trump-class” battleship as part of his plan to have a “Golden Navy.”
“As Commander-in-Chief, it is my great honor to announce that I have approved a plan for the Navy to begin the construction of two brand-new, very large — the largest we've ever built — battleships. You know, we used to build the Iowa, the Missouri, the Wisconsin, the Alabama, and many others. We had big battleships.”
“These are bigger. But they will have 100 times the — they'll be 100 times the force, the power. And there's never been anything like these ships.”
Tell the Pentagon: DO NOT build Trump’s stupid battleships!
“These have been under design consideration for a long time. And it started with me in my first term, because I said, Why aren't we doing battleships like we used to? And the — these are the best in the world. They'll be the fastest, the biggest, and by far 100 times more powerful than any battleship ever built.”
There is a very good reason we aren’t doing battleships like we used to. It’s a little thing called “airplanes.” Now that we’re in the era of drone warfare, a giant and extremely expensive target like a battleship is even more obsolete.
As Trump falls deeper and deeper into the throes of dementia, his narcissistic urges are becoming more and more outrageous, and it’s infuriating that our military leaders are going along with this.
Add your name to demand the Pentagon put a stop to this ridiculous plan immediately.
Tell Trump: Don’t waste public money building yourself a battleship!
