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.

      If this was a just world, it would be the name of the leaky prison hulk that he’s chained up inside.

      Those ships that you need to get rid of but it’s too expensive to get rid of them so you just have them rotting away somewhere.

      Guy is so vain. If it isn’t a re-badge of a project. Lay a keel or two and they’ll rot in the yard before completion.
