I understand the complexity of the military industrial complex - to the extent that it's intertwined right through the US economy
do you think that Trump is going to unwind that?
if so - you tell me 'how?'
Recall Trumps big sprouting ideas last time -------'I'm going to stop all this war stuff' 'I'm going to bring our troops home'
ok - fine, ----- it's an idea. It's an idea that many of us can get behind - probably not military suppliers - but, the rest of us - we're ok with that.
Now - Donny also had another BIG idea ----------- he would build LOTS of Navy ships - LOTS of them
now - he was going to keep the troops HOME, but he was going to build LOTS of ships ------
uh huh ----------- to do what exactly? -------- sit at home in port or cruise about the coast of the USA??
right - good idea
''During his presidency, Donald Trump ordered a significant upgrade to the U.S. Navy's shipbuilding plans. In December 2016, the Navy released a force-structure goal under his administration that called for achieving and maintaining a fleet of 355 ships. This goal was later made U.S. policy by the FY2018 National Defense Authorization Act. The Trump administration's plans included a more distributed fleet architecture, proposing a Navy with 382 to 446 manned ships and 143 to 242 large unmanned vehicles (UVs) [1][2].
Additionally, Trump emphasized the importance of expanding the U.S. naval fleet to compete with adversaries like China. He highlighted the construction of new ships, including Constellation-class frigates, and criticized the subsequent administration for not continuing his plans [3].
