He's such a nerd loser in real life that I sometimes get the impression that he saw the FBI Director gig as simply one of the only ways he could get laid. Wear flak jackets with his name on them and look tough and drive armor-plated BMWs and brag to the ladies that he has his own private jet which he can use to fly them to luxurious vacation spots and so forth and so on. It's like one of the Big Bang Theory side character nerds cosplaying an FBI Director to pick up chicks.

President Trump on Monday announced plans to build a new fleet of Navy battleships, anchoring what he called the Pentagon's "Golden Fleet."

The president said he approved plans to begin constructing "two brand-new, very large, largest we've ever built, battleships." He later said he expects to build a total of 10 ships in short order, and ultimately 20 to 25. He made the announcement flanked by renderings of ships that were referred to as "Trump class."

Unless there is going to be a dramatic change in these ships’ armaments from the old ships this is a total waste of money and resources. The Missouri was used in the Persian Gulf War to launch cruise missiles from. A battleship can shoot a shell about 25 miles max. The Second World War proved the limits a battleship faces in a modern war. Battleships use to be how a navy measured its strength. Those days are long gone.

Yep. It wasn't battleships that won the Second World War in the Pacific Theater, it was aircraft carriers that really became the focus of the naval fleets on both sides and which did the most damage. Trump likely just thinks that battleships are so macho and awesome and would be a perfect reflection on himself as the ultimate alpha male macho president, so let's blow most of the navy's budget to build a lot more of them. It is stupid and absurd and vastly wasteful. He'll probably name the first one built the USS Donald J. Trump and name the entire line of new battleships the "Trump Class". Winning!

Such pathetic shit. For battleships the class name comes from the name of the first ship of that type.

Only thing I think is that it takes years for these things to get planned and approved and funded and built. i suspect the Navy is just waiting the term limit out and said "sure" to get trump to stop calling them. That could just be wishcasting though.
