The US Navy is working to rename an aircraft carrier under construction that was set to honor a Black sailor hailed for his heroic actions during the attack on Pearl Harbor, and there have been internal conversations about renaming it to honor President Trump, sources say. https://cnn.it/4hFq6a6

Because of course. It's not enough that he wants a whole class of hideous battleships named after him, he wants an aircraft carrier, too. Bonus points for stealing it from a Black man! He cannot go away soon enough, and it's going to take DECADES to clean up everything he has done to this country.

He truly is a god damn idiot if its true, since its just blatantly obvious what all his motives would have been. Other racists in power, who know naming it after sitting Prez is bad look, would just try and aim for a white war hero who'd not be a total shock to get ship named after them.

I'm not really a fan of naming ships after people, even war heroes, but the fact that they're only renaming this one particular ship is definitely just big racism calling another one in.

I know once this is over the Dems have a lot of work to do, but I hope one of the easiest and fastest things they do is to strip his name off of every single thing related to this country.

The navy should spend their time and resources on the condition of the navy. This hero should not be replaced by a man who never served and as president has shown no respect for service members or their families.

I expected more from the US military. We were raised to believe they were defenders of the constitution and democracy. This is why I've been asking for months now, whose side is the US military on? Now we have an election that won't be honored because the white Christian nationalists want war.

Given a choice between honouring an enlisted man who won the Navy Cross, and a President or other influential bigwig, what do you expect them to do? What have they done before?

Seriously though, the US Navy could save a lot of future expenditure if they put Trump’s name on the ship using easy-peel plastic decals. (Yeah - gold lettering of course). Learn from the Kennedy Centre!!

There’s a lot of names to go for if the US Navy decides to dishonour Doris Miller and rename the ship for Trump. USS Felon? USS Groper? USS Narcissus? USS Fabulist? USS Charlatan? USS Supremacist? USS Rambler? USS Aggrandiser? USS Ego? USS Russian Asset? USS Brittle? USS 8647

“During President Donald Trump’s first term, the Navy announced that the Ford-class carrier would be called the USS Doris Miller, recognizing an enlisted sailor who helped defend US forces from Japan’s attack.”

Miller died defending our country. While, DJT is systematically destroying everything. “Miller died in 1943 when a torpedo sank his ship, the escort carrier Liscome Bay, off Butaritari Atoll in the Gilbert Islands. On June 30, 1973, the navy commissioned a frigate, the USS Miller, in his honour.”

"It’s unclear what the Navy is seeking to change the name of the carrier to, though two of the sources said there have been internal conversations about renaming it to honor Trump." Shameful BS. Call it Grifter, Coward, Bone Spurs, Bankrupt Taj Mahal. Racist grifters and incompetents.

The U.S. needs war ships named after heroes like this brave sailor, to project moral and bravery for those aboard. It doesn’t need names of cowards that project weakness and shame like the Trump name does.

It is disgraceful and disgusting to remove the name of a black war hero and replace it with the name of a war dodger, a coward. How low America has become. I don’t recognize it anymore. The envy of the world to the joke of the world.

This is just Trump adding yet another stolen honor to the long list of those the next Democratic president will lead the nation in stripping him of, hopefully while he’s still alive to witness the ignominy.

Like, at some point, maybe, just maybe, could you call this out for what it actually is? (Which is unbridled megalomaniacal racism, in case you aren't getting it.)

Ships should only be named for Trump if they have poop decks. This is disgraceful. Every American should object and Hegseth and his wife should resign.

You’re rejecting an American war hero because he’s Black and saying he really isn’t even an American. Can you explain why you’re such a bigot? Is it how you were raised?

Honour trump for what? Five deferments? Bone Spurs? Starting a war he doesn't know how to finish, and he's losing! How about that $800m Navy's chief resupply station in the Gulf of Oman was completely destroyed in an Iranian attack! The 175 dead Iranian school girls? The sneak attack? Honours!!!!?
