this entire administration is irredeemable scum.

Article is a good read about Miller.

The choice of USS Doris Miller marked the first time an aircraft carrier would honor an enlisted sailor, and the first aircraft carrier to be named for an African American. Asked about his decision to name the carrier after Miller, Modly told CNN that it was recommended to him by a group of retired Black admirals, and that he believes “one of our most powerful warships should bear the name of a sailor like Miller to bring greater attention to what makes our Navy so unique — and great.”

    The ship is not expected to be delivered until 2034

    Why do they bother? It’s not like the ship will still be named after Trump by the time it’s built even if it’s named after him now.

      Why do they bother?

      To pacify a diaper soiling orange baby. Once out of office, the Trump name is getting dropped like a trud…unless this fascist trend continues.

      It’s just a way to jerk off that POS blob of orange mayonnaise.
