Trump 2.0 official thread

Lieutenant General

And I know someone who was in panic that Trump was about to declare war because of this gathering of top US military brass… I knew it was as superficial as I thought it would be. What they’re not saying is this is most likely in part because of China’s Victory Day parade. Trump was envious of the discipline. He wants the sight of US soldiers shouting their loyalty to him as they walk by. He wants to go back to the good ole days of big battleships. This is typical Republican thinking. It's all about how things look superficially. They don't think about how having 6-inch hulls are irrelevant in today's warfare. It adds unneeded costs. Are they going to have the South Koreans build the ships for them? How many Americans won't be getting those jobs making them?

No fatties! Maybe they should send the generals back to companies to serve as line grunts for a month every year. America really is going full Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution with American characteristics.

It would be extremely dumb and waste of resources, but you can't deny it would be very cool looking. Stalin wished he could do the same back in his day.
Perhaps I am over my head in saying this but the PLAN heavy DDG 055 and 054B frigates do have really beautiful lines-as well as the sleek,potent naval J35's("what the F35 should have been"-YT comments)Maybe it's Asian design aesthetics like Yamato/Musashi which were huge,deadly,and sleekly beautiful albeit outdated by WW2.So the PLAN design bureaus have great engineers,shipbuilders ,technicians and maybe designers like arts/design people(?) in the mix.

I keep wondering what event will be the final straw before the Trump regime goes full fascist? With the way they behave, I cannot see them giving up power in 2026 if they loose the mid-term elections. The government shutdown might allow they to do some fuckery that places them in power permanently.
