President Trump has commissioned a new fleet of battleships called ‘Trump Class’ named after himself and they’ll be the ‘deadliest warships ever built’
Donald Trump said today “America’s battleships have always been unmistakable symbols of national power. They’ll help maintain American military supremacy, revive the American shipbuilding industry, & inspire fear in America’s enemies all over the world.” Calling them the ‘Golden Fleet’ he’s decided to name them after himself. Trump Class. I have never seen this level of narcissism and self-glorification in any elected leader, this is a first. Not even Barack Obama exhibited this level of pride, and that’s saying something. America First? Trump first.
“And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.” Daniel 11:36 (KJB)
Throughout his half-century career as a real estate mogul, Trump very much enjoyed naming everything he built after himself, and why not? It’s his company, and he’s certainly entitled to do that if he so chooses. But as the president of the United States, that same luxury should not be afforded to him to name things after himself. Having something named after you is usually reserved to honor those people after they have left office or passed away. But to have things named after yourself, while still in office, is the height of arrogance, pomposity and vanity. The Trump Ballroom, the Trump-Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and now a line of Trump Class battleships is just awful, truly awful.
Trump announces new class of U.S. battleships named after himself
FROM NBC NEWS: Making the announcement at an event at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, Navy Secretary John Phelan referred to the warships as “Trump-class battleships” and said a forthcoming vessel dubbed the USS Defiant will be “the largest, deadliest and most versatile and best-looking warship anywhere on the world’s oceans.”
Trump’s eponymous battleships will be armed with guns and missiles, as well as hypersonic weapons, electronic rail guns and high-powered lasers.
“We envision that these ships will be the first of a whole new class of battleships to be produced in the years to come,” Trump said, noting an eventual goal of 20 to 25 new battleships.
Phelan said the battleships will also carry the “nuclear-armed sea-launched cruise missile.” The last time the U.S. used battleships in combat was in 1991, during the first Gulf War against Iraq.
“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?’” Trump said Monday.
President Trump just announced a new brand of warship to be named after himself, called Trump Class, and the first one will be titles USS Defiant. I have never seen this level of vanity and narcissism in any president including Bill Clinton. This is off the charts. https://t.co/yuzvHzBtBO

The Navy is tasked with leading the design of the new battleships, which are expected to be ready early next decade, according to the Defense Department. Trump said he will also play a role, “because I’m a very aesthetic person.”
Signifiers of Trump, from his likeness to his name and his birthday, have become more commonplace during his second term.
Last week, a board handpicked by Trump voted to rename the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington the Trump-Kennedy Center. Trump’s name was also added to the U.S. Institute of Peace headquarters in Washington this month, and the Interior Department the Interior Department in a video last month displayed a national park pass for 2026 that will bear Trump’s image. The legality of some of those moves, however, faces legal challenges.
Trump said the new battleships are not meant as a deterrent to any one country.
“It’s a counter to everybody. It’s not China. We get along great with China,” he said. “It’s just everybody. You don’t know who comes along, but we just wanted peace through strength. Hopefully we never have to use them, but there will never be anything built like these.” READ MORE
