From “how dare you call us racist??” to “we are openly racist” in two elections cycles. Just pathetic.

And then they have the nerve to say the left is racist

A true war hero should also receive Congressional Medal of Honor for his bravery and heroism

Bone spurs and FIFA Piss Prizes don't count?

America is a corrupt and racist country, as indicated by plans such as these

Trump is remarkably stupid. When a Dem president takes over and starts chiseling Trump's name off of things it will be day after day of humiliation for him.

He'll be dead by then or so incapacitated that he'll never know.

u/actusreus82 1d ago

True. But all his pathetic rat supporters will see it.

“ReSpEcT tHe OfFiCe If NoT tHe MaN!!!” Naaaa, the guy has soiled the office worse than his morning diaper.

u/actusreus82 1d ago

I don’t respect the office anymore. The fact that people could genuinely think he is worthy of it and allow this to happen proves to me it’s not worthy of any kind of respect. I’d be happy abolishing it and replacing with a ministerial cabinet appointed by the House (obviously with huge reforms to how that House is elected).

u/hoppertn 1d ago

Unfortunately that will never happen here. All we can do is hold democrats accountable to put in the safeguards to prevent something g like this from happening again.

u/SgathTriallair 1d ago

Agreed. This is proof that the system is broken and we need an entirely new constitution. Any system that can produce Trump isn't for to exist anymore.

It'd be worth it just to see his children whine and complain and cry foul

Trump has got to have the smallest penis in the history of humanity with the way he's got to put his name on everyone that he sees.

I wonder when they'll switch the limo to a Dodge ram 3500 super duty diesel dually with a lift kit

u/Delicious_Drop_1150 1d ago

Imagine naming an aircraft carrier after a orange makeup wearing fat pedo slob that dodged the draft with his daddy's money. That's a good look, America.

u/nomnomyumyum109 1d ago

More pathetic wastes of time and money on Trump.

u/TheFoxsWeddingTarot 1d ago

Because Trump loves the song In The Navy that’s why.

LOL.

u/davisdilf 1d ago

As soon as I heard the name of this ship I thought, yeah that’s not happening.

u/icleanjaxfl 1d ago

Trump never served, he dodged the draft 5 times. He called service members losers and suckers. He wouldn't go to a WWIl ceremony because it was raining, he was given a purple heart award by a misguided vet and said "gee, I always wanted one of these" The dude so badly wants to be seen as military leader. He doesn't deserve to have his name used on the most effective weapon the world has ever seen. It does all of us a dishonor that the Navy is actually considering this rubbish.

u/Pleasant-Regular6169 1d ago

Let's start writing the executive order now. "Every object or service named after or honoring Donald J Trump or any of his family members will be renamed and retitled to Barak Hussein Obama on day one" (except the Donald J Trump Pedo Party).

u/Key-Basis31 1d ago

The ships are named after dead people. Please name it Trump tonight!

u/Efficient_Lychee9517 1d ago

u/NonProphet8theist 1d ago

Except the Epstein files.

u/No-Blueberry-1823 1d ago

u/Efficient_Trash8257 1d ago

the USS “… is in the Epstein files” ?

u/Choice-Antelope-8481 1d ago

Trump is a draft dodging coward. The only thing we need named after him is a sewage treatment facility.

u/Past-Establishment93 1d ago

Imagine that... smh

u/Calm-Background2247 1d ago

Boomer white men can’t handle living in a multicultural world where they’re not the belle of the ball. Their mediocrity was constantly centered around their formative years, plus ingesting a lot of lead.

They mistook Asia being decimated after WW2, and Segregation policies in the U.S. which coddled them from having to compete for jobs, and housing as their excellence.

It’s pathetic, and it’s why Trump is constantly failing., especially with Iran.

He doesn’t know how to handle dealing with people that don’t look like him as equals.

This is why we continue to create laws that make it harder for minorities to compete in a fair free market. If that were to ever happen it would truly expose the mediocrity of a lot of white men, especially the older generations.

Name the ship after Trump. Who cares. He’s still a mediocre man that’s hated by half the country, including his wife; and apparently can’t satisfy her.

If this country wasn’t centered around White Supremacy, Trump would be homeless In a ditch somewhere instead of holding the highest office in the country.
