Critics Sink Trump's Bonkers Battleship Plans: 'Got The Design From G.I. Joe'

President Donald Trump unveiled a new class of so-called “battleships” on Monday, but his plans are already hitting rough waters on social media.

In remarks from his Mar-a-Lago estate, the president claimed that the two “Trump Class” military vessels would be the “fastest, the biggest and by far 100 times more powerful than any battleship ever built.”

Trump described himself as a “very aesthetic person” while noting that he, along with the U.S. Navy, would work on the design of the vessels. Trump said the administration aims to make up to 25 of the ships, thus adding to its goal of creating a “Golden Fleet.”

Renderings of the “USS Defiant” showed a vessel firing what appeared to be a laser beam and launching missiles. The vessel featured an illustrated logo of Trump raising his fist, as he did in the moments after the assassination attempt on him in Butler, Penn., last year.

“WHOEVER DESIGNED THE TRUMP CLASS ‘BATTLESHIP’ GOT THE DESIGN FROM GI JOE,” Nance wrote.

1. I'm shocked they're not gold.

2. It looks like a second-rate videogame knockoff

They could have at least hired some budding fan-artist.
This is hack work.

Golden Fleet? More like Golden Fleece.

3. Awfully small battleship. A good name for it would be USS Mushroom. It'd still have an apt TACO connection.

4. You know what they say

Small ship… tiny lighthouse.

Another histrionic reaction to something that will never happen.

EPSTEIN FILES.

12. He never grew up past middle school

Or whenever that degenerate punk ass was sent to “military” prep school. He’s still playing with Gi Joes (thr entire US military) but of course he always rooted for the Cobras.

I can’t believe people think, yeah that’s the guy I want with the nuclear football.
