General Atomics, the company that builds the electromagnetic aircraft launch system for the Ford-class carriers, said Trump’s decision to revert to steam “warrants careful reconsideration”. The company told the Journal its work on the new ship is nearly 50% complete and “changing course now would introduce significant cost, schedule, and integration risks”.
Senator Mark Kelly, an Arizona Democrat and a former astronaut, was more blunt in his reaction to the news.
“I’ve launched off the front of aircraft carriers hundreds of times, have a Master’s degree in aeronautical engineering, and am a test pilot and even I wouldn’t suggest to the Navy how to engineer specific systems on its ships,” Kelly wrote on social media. “Donald Trump should stick to what he knows best – ballrooms, bankruptcy, and bullshit.”
He’s desperately trying to bankrupt the country and destroy its power and capability.
He’s not trying to bankrupt the country. He’s trying to rob it blind. Bankruptcy is just a by-product. It’s how he does business.
I can’t say for certain that he’s a Russian agent, but it is concerning how many things he does coincide with what a Russian agent would do.
Oh nah, if this is anything, it’s another push to expand the military budget in ANOTHER bid to privatize the military, something he and his have been on for years.
