#Trump wanted one thing, more than anything else, from his secretary of the #Navy, #JohnPhelan: a new class of #battleships.
“They’ll be the fastest, the biggest & by far—100 times more powerful than any battleship ever built,” Trump boasted at a news conference at his Mar-a-Lago estate & resort in Florida a few days before Christmas. Phelan, a billionaire investor who has a home near the club, stood next to the president as he made the announcement.
