The USS Gerald R. Ford: A Love Story Between Trump, Steam, and Stupidity

Trump ordered the Navy to abandon the catapult system that just ran 37,000 successful launches... and go back to steam. Why? Because "a guy on a boat" told him steam was simpler. The same technology France just chose for its next nuclear carrier. The same technology China copied for the Fujian. The same technology that ran 30% better than the old one during an 11-month deployment from hell, toilets overflowing, sailors sleeping on floors, a fire that destroyed 100 berths. Everything broke except the catapults. And Trump wants to throw them away. In 60 days. Meanwhile, a draft dodger with five deferments is making decisions that sailors will die for, while he remains safe, far from any consequence. I wrote the full story. With receipts, rage, and three DALL-E images that I'm unreasonably proud of 😂 Come see the mess. It's real.
