The move comes amid outcry from Democrats after the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts affixed Trump's name to its sign in Washington.

Donald Trump’s name is being attached to a new class of U.S. battleships that will have nuclear capabilities.

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.

This thing knows he is dying and knows his name will be known for so very many bad things...but it still wants to be remembered.

The orange buffoon wants to 'muddy the waters' of his shitty legacy by trying to erase his desires of raping women and kids and thinks by naming everything he can after himself people will forget what he's done.

The thing thinks that in the future the word tRUMP will be synonymous with battle ships and art centres. The obese kiddie fiddler wants to be remembered like Kennedy is remembered...but decent people and decent countries will only remember him as Epstein's rape buddy. A racist, fascist, child fucking convicted rapist.

He absolutely does not.

He literally thinks he's perfect and that his shit doesn't stink. He is a narcissist.

That's why he wants his name on a fucking battleship because it's "strong" like him.
