Navy considers naming carrier for Trump instead of Black war hero as planned - report
A naval aircraft carrier under construction is slated to bear the name of an enlisted sailor, the first for an African-American. Or was.
The Navy is planning to replace Doris Miller’s name on the ship, possibly with that of president Donald Trump, CNN reports. No carrier in the US Navy has ever been named for a sitting president.

I like to think he's so desperate to honor himself because he knows history won't.
This is exactly it. He's hoping to brand as much as he can while he's alive. The Kennedy center was a huge blow to his ego. He'll use the board to gild the whole thing so it'll cost millions to undo.
They voted to carve his name into it so that it can't be undone. Bitches don't know about patching, and filling.
It's marble, not concrete. Anything that gets engraved is going to be visible no matter what.
Remove a section and replace, then. It wasn't carved in place.
Yeah, it's a literal facade.
Like a dying dog, he'll pee on everything in a desperate attempt to mark his territory before he, y'know, dies.
He's always been this way. He's a rapist and he wants to force himself on the whole world. It's narcissism and evil.
Weirdly, history has whitewashed plenty of fascists and murderers. We always assume the truth is what survives in the long run but this is hardly guaranteed.
100%
We can chip a huge turd out of a Mountain and call it the Trump monument.
Sure, but even better would be to give him absolutely no further attention at all.
Trump really hates wartime hero’s, doesn’t he…absolutely deplorable.
Especially black ones. Thats mostly what this is about
You mean the draft dodger?
Yes, President Donald J ‘Dickfarts’ Trump!
Trump is our real black war hero
Doris Miller: mans a machine gun during an attack
Donald Trump: mans a catering truck during a potential attack
The fact that over 30% of Americans support this is depressing.
If it walks like a racist and it talks like a racist and it governs like a racist and it......
Idk, there's definitely something fitting about 200 half-starved sailors doing the hover-ass over malfunctioning toilets on the USS Donald J Trump.
Yeah but it’s weird to name any structure after Trump when only
consentingadults are having sex inside it.Rape is common in the US military.
Edited.
The US Navy has a long and storied reputation for sexual assault. Practically back to it's founding.
Ah then USS Trump it is!
If they name it after Trump, it will just sink like everything else he does.
I think it might actually turn into a slowly melting pile of shit
When he was ranting about steam catapults -- that was this same ship he was talking about.
Maybe he wants them to jump off the side before boarding this time.
If everyone who loves Trump would get in Navy ships our problems would be solved.
I’m just glad he’s old. Can you imagine if he was like 40 or 50? only a matter of time.
Science has already unnaturally extended his life and I will never forgive it for that
Science, the best medical drugs known to man, and a whole lotta spite.
The.US has been ruled by a single group of 1940-1950 babies. Thank god they eventually die but still...
Fuck no.
I'm here for the USS Orange Jello
USS Pedophile
Damn good coffee
I need this on my morning coffee cup
So they’re gonna call it Captain Bonespurs?
The USS Epic Dumbass
Or maybe it'll be like ship names in Halo:
the USS Travesty of Greed
USS Racist Clown
USS Traitorous Fuckstick
