Next step of agent Krasnov: Cripple US naval capabilites it used to project military power around the world.
genius says digital systems are too complicated ...
Reminds me of my boomer boss that still uses pencil and calculator because Excel is too complicated.
“So I said, ‘What is this?’ ‘Sir, this is our digital catapult system’”, Trump went on. “It sounded bad to me. Digital. They have digital. What is digital? And it’s very complicated, you have to be Albert Einstein to figure it out. And I said – and now they want to buy more aircraft carriers – I said, ‘What system are you going to be’– ‘Sir, we’re staying with digital.’ I said, ‘No you’re not. You[’re] going to goddamned steam, the digital costs hundreds of millions of dollars more money and it’s no good’.”
A Guardian review of Trump’s public remarks shows that he has retold that story, with variations, every year since 2017.
The President of the United States folks…just wow…smh.
Another grift on the backs of the citizens more than likely. Nay, positively. This pedophile's whole existence is a grift to the universe. Utter trash. It's atoms need to be vaporized as they don't belong.
And the no-bid contract goes to:... The Carrier Steam Company, established 2026, by Donald Trump Jr.
Totally above board, of course. Although the Chairman would be Donald Trump Sr. Which would be a conflict of interest, except the Supreme Court would decide it's not.
I went into this assuming it had something to do with the US running out of rare earth minerals needed for magnetic systems.
Nope, just a weird bugbear the gameshow host won't let go of.
You know he's just making it up when everyone says "sir" to him in his stories, but that's hardly better that this is just his version of how it should have went.
This is the guy that thinks his "genetics" make him sooper smart, because he had an uncle who is even a perfesser!
S-M-R-T!
We all know magnets stop working if they get wet.
Remember folks: this is how he makes money.
He's not stupid. He's using his power to pour more taxpayer dollars into private companies owned by him and his buddies. This is what theft and abuse of power looks like.
This is exactly right. He doesn't care about electromagnetic or steam aircraft launch systems. He cares about adding costs so he can launder money to himself.
We can only pray for a Lisa Simpson. 🙏
This is completely unrealistic; this nation would never elect Lisa Simpson.
I’m not a fan of Kelly, but “ballrooms, bankruptcy, and bullshit” is a good line.
What are your qualms if you don't mind me asking? Is it the military aspect?
That would be enough. He's also a proud Zionist, which should be enough to exclude anyone from polite society, but that's half the fucking population that needs their moral compass replaced.
They could just show him an AI generated video of an aircraft carrier with huge steam plumes every time a jet launches. They could get away with it.
Have it run SteamOS. Bam it is now Steam powered.
Remember, this president suggested injecting bleach to cure COVID....he should have been severely punished for encouraging ppl to kill themselves.
Did anybody end up doing it? I wouldn't be surprised, but I've not seen any news stories since that shit show.
I do recall that poison centers saw an uptick in calls from people taking the animal version of ivermectin.
oh wait:

some of this was people washing their food with bleach, some was people actually ingesting it after drumpfuck's press conference
I can already see the malicious compliance gears in motion:
"Yes, sir!"
The Naval CNO creates a project, codename "Ouroboros". With the stated goal of replacing EMALS with steam. The project is assigned to whichever Colonel is on the shit list who is tasked with the feasibility study and creating the RFI.
3 years later
The whole thing is shit-canned by the next President.
We can only hope.
Stall it with bureaucracy
Sure why not. Lets bring back biplanes too.
The Insane Clown Posse could not be reached for comment by the time of publication.
Ironic to see ICP being mentioned today, was just talking about them from when I listened to them in the 90’s. They seem to have more common sense than the clown mentioned above.
Plus a lot more self awareness and a seemingly genuine desire to be better, if the interviews I've read of late are even halfway truthful.
"Younger me was a fool and a sheep, and I won't hide from that." In essence. Credit where it's due.
He’s desperately trying to bankrupt the country and destroy its power and capability.
I can't say for certain that he's a Russian agent, but it is concerning how many things he does coincide with what a Russian agent would do.
Why not make the whole carrier steam powered?
So remind me why a retard with no knowledge about anything, has any say about anything? Let experts be experts, and pedo retards die in their piss.
Meanwhile in China where they believe in science and innovation:

Elect idiots, get idiotic decisions. Elections matter, who you elect matters, handing executive authority to an idiot matters. The American right just gave up thinking and votes their feelings, which is how you elect conmen.
This timeline is so fucking stupid that I wish we could bring back the r-word to refer to this administration, those that support it, and most importantly, their god-emperor that they all worship.
FFS. This stupid dipshit keeps "ordering" stuff and people just comply. Even asshole conservatives that should know better when it comes to reality.
When our modern Caligula orders that they do battle against Neptune, will they also comply?

Retarded is the perfect way to discribe everything about this. I don't care that some may find it offensive on behalf of some other people. The people who voted for the criminal rapist, fraudster and pedophile are fucking retarded.
Sort of like how he is having a new battleship be designed. Battleships have been mostly obsolete since the 1950s...
just when I think drumpfuck has said the stupidest thing ever, he outdoes himself and says something even stupider.
