President Trump 2.0

[Stephen]

The supreme leader just announce a new battleships class with plans to have 20-25 eventually.

The name for this new class of ship..... yep, you guessed it. The 'Trump class'

Is no one going to stop him sticking his name on everything in sight?

That class name may well quietly disappear when he's no longer in power.

A single ship named after him is perfectly possible, many are named after former presidents.

He's on about Greenland again. What part of 'up yours, Trump', which he got from Greenland, doesn't he get?
And is it coincidence that he's proposing building 20-25 "Trump-class" battleships? What, one wonders, is he going to do with them?
I'd say 'conquer Greenland', but they still won't be finished by 2028 (seriously, it takes years to build a battleship), by which time he will - he should - be out of office. Unless he is planning on getting around/ignoring the 22nd Amendment.

Heinlein saw it coming. This is how Nehemiah Scudder started - he was elected in 2012...and in 2016 there was no election. So Heinlein was only out by 12 years, Scudder - oh, sorry, Trump - having been elected in 2024. Not bad considering "If This Goes On -" was published in 1940.

The Supreme Court said Tuesday it would not allow President Donald Trump to deploy the National Guard in the Chicago area for now, a significant setback for his campaign to push troops into cities across the country over the objections of local and state leaders.

The president’s ability to federalize the National Guard likely only applies in “exceptional” circumstances, the court’s unsigned order said.

Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas and Neil M. Gorsuch dissented from the court’s unsigned order. Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh filed a separate concurrence.

The Chicago case is the first time the Supreme Court has weighed in on one of Trump’s attempted deployments of National Guard forces. While temporary, the order could have far-reaching effects by repudiating Trump’s claim of virtually unchecked authority to mobilize and deploy troops he says are necessary to fight crime and protect immigration enforcement officers.

The order could affect how lower courts rule in other cases where local and state officials have sued to block Trump’s deployments, such as in Portland, Oregon. It may have less immediate effect on the National Guard deployment in D.C. because of the federal government’s unique role in overseeing the nation’s capital.
