The first of Trump's military blunders. The same one Hitler made.
Putin couldn't wish for a more useful idiot. Eventually he'll be giving direct tactical orders that result in China and Russia not needing to worry about the US Navy presence.
My prediction?
He'll first order Carrier Strike groups to reduce the number of vessels. Maybe keep one AEGIS guided missile destroyer, and one Alreigh-Burke. Remove one of the attack submarines. Cut the Supply-class boats down to a single vessel. ("Just cram it all it one, and fill it up twice as often").
But that's not Hitler level stupid on it's own. He'll have those ships scrapped. He needs to appease the defense industry, so he'll order the procurement of the true king of the fleet: Trump-class Dreadnaught Battleships (because he needs the extra big dreadnaughts!). They should be "nuclear powered" use the latest "laser cannon" a rail gun, and the biggest longest range cannons they can fit.
And that's just what he'll start with in the Navy.
It's not a wish when you made the idiot useful in the first place .
