Everyone should read this because it is a microcosm of why everything has gone to shit. This is how his malignant narcissism destroys everything he touches.
“We built an aircraft carrier for $19 billion, which is crazy. The price is crazy. It started off at-- I came in one of the first things I want to see. It was the Ford aircraft carrier. It was way over budget. And it had things on it that you didn't need.
Like it had magnet. It magnets to lift up the elevators with 10 and 12 planes on them. Think of it. It had all sorts of modern day things that were all instead of using steam for the catapult. They used electric. Let's have an electric catapult.
And so what I went to the ship, because I came into office and the ship was way over budget. Built a new produce, unfortunately. It was way over budget. It was going to cost $3 billion. It was up to like $18, $19. It was terrible. And I said, I want to meet the catapulter.
And the man came over along with four of his assistants. And I said, what's better? Electric catapult or steam? He's been there for 25 years. He said, steam is better. We can fix it with a hammer and a blowtorch. When the electric goes bad, I have to send the MIT to get geniuses over here.
I said, steam is better. Yes, sir. It's better. So why did they do electric? Because you can have the catapult go like this. But you can't put planes on it, sir. It takes you 39 seconds. By the time the 39 seconds is up, you have a full-head of steam. And I love breathing that steam, sir. That's that cleanest air you've ever seen.
But I said, so you're saying we spent billions of dollars extra to build electric catapults instead of using. And I said, well, I'll still hear you. He said, the elevators are no good, sir. They lifted up by magnets. So here's my deal. I said, when Caterpillar tractor-- and I watched more tractors than any human being in a rip-erock or right through a rock-- it's all hydraulic.
So I said, when Caterpillar goes into the business of using magnets to lift up their little blades, when they go away from hydraulic, I'll tell you what. I'm going to do something. I'm going to start using magnets, but we don't want to use them.
So we're not letting any Pete. We're not letting any more ships be built with the ridiculous-- billions of dollars more they spent on electric catapults and they're not good. They're not nearly as good. Too complex. And by the way, we had to call the ship in twice because the catapults didn't work. And I predicted that was true.
And the same thing with the magnetic elevators. We want them to be made hydraulic, which it can be hit by. Lightening, it can be hit by anything. When a little water touches the magnets, it doesn't work anymore. You're in the Atlantic Ocean with waves at a 60-feet high and the Pacific Ocean with waves at a 70-feet high. And they're talking about magnets. It makes you want to get sick.
I actually called in the architect of the ship. And I said, have you designed a ship before? Well, I haven't spent a lot of time on that, sir. I don't know. Even the cab. You know, the tower, the habit in the back, instead of in the middle. It's supposed to be in the middle where you have more room. I said, why do you move there? Well, we thought it was very good. Why did you do it? And why is the ammunition under the-- where the Admiral is, the tower?
They have the tower, and they have the ammunition under the tower. I say, if I'm the enemy, I know where I'm aiming. These people, and the thing goes like $20 billion is ridiculous, sir. So we're changing all of that right, Peter. You'll be fired so fast, have you done that?
No, but a lot of this is common-sense stuff, really. I mean, I hope I'm not born anybody, but it's all common-sense. This isn't exactly part of my speech, but I got to tell you. You know, I'm getting it all out now, and all the anger I have when I hear about electric catapults that don't work. Crazy.”
@dianetski75@ML3democrats And Trump & his entourage making a fortune on crypto currency & the price of oil aswell. A very corrupt government in Washington DC .
Just stop with your nonsense.
Trump is making our food healthier, reducing autism-causing vaccines, starting savings plans for legal American babies and children, making our cities safer, tracking down pedophiles, found over 165,000 CHILDREN that Biden/Harris “lost” to slave labor/traffickers/prostitution, is ridding our country of foreign criminals, is going after those who abused our govt agencies, is finding Billions of taxpayer $ that was stolen via fraud, etc.
When Trump’s presidency is over, it should be annulled. No library, no portrait, no titles, no honors, no Nobel prize. It’s a record of shame. Do you agree?
BREAKING: A group of 6 MAGA fans in Louisiana have just launched a hunger strike they vow will go on until E. Jean Carroll gives back the $5.6 million Donald Trump was forced to give her, or they starve to death.
@atrupar He has went from Ukraine to Iran to Cuba to Communists to Illegal Emigrants , just dosn’t have a clue what he’s doing, just to distract the attention away from the Epstein files.
Mike Johnson: "You heard the president talk about how he wants to effectively double the funding for national defense. Look, we live in dangerous times. We're fighting communism on our own shores."
@highbrow_nobrow@Acyn Show us your wounds you feckin idiot. Release the Epstein files to Unredacted you excuse for a President Come on Don the Con release them.
Donald Trump: "If I took this shirt off, you would see a beautiful beautiful person. But you would see wounds all over. I’ve taken a lot of wounds, I can tell you. More than I suspect any president ever." @Acyn (June 2024)
You fu*^*ng people are ridiculous the man could lay golden eggs give them to you and you would still bitch. There has only been one president that openly fondled little girls in front of cameras sniffed them like they were freash picked flowers to be devoured. He was a fresking DEMORAT and the worst president this country has ever had in its 250 years. So how about y’all just shut your damn pie holes take your TDS meds, go crawl back down the hole you vile excuse of human beings came out of.
I ABSOLUTELY AGREE With President Trump. He deserves the Nobel Peace Prize more than anyone else has in the history of the Nobel Peace Prize
Trump STOPPED 8 wars and really probably more
The President of PEACE ✌️ 🇺🇸🇺🇸
🚨 UPDATE: President Trump reveals Iran just CALLED HIM and "BADLY" wants to make a deal — but he's CLEARLY not buying it
Trump is done with the games 🔥
"They want to make a deal so badly. They called a little while ago. They want to make a deal so badly!"
"I just don't know if they're WORTHY."
"I don't know if they're going to honor the deal...they're sort of CRAZY, to be honest with you!"
@atrupar Take all your feckin troops to fuck out of Europe we can stand on our own two feet you feckin assehole Trump . China is getting stronger by the day & soon they will eat you up & swallow you down . You’re a compulsive liar Trump & your dementia is getting worse.
Trump on Greenland: "That's what hurt my relationship with NATO. Because Greenland doesn't help Denmark. Denmark doesn't spend money to really help Greenland, but it's an important part for the United States. And it's surrounded by China ships and Russian ships. Greenland should be controlled by the United States, not by Denmark. We could remove all our soldiers out of Europe. They better be careful."
@Kitterick2468@DougWahl1 So true, & Trump is trying to do the same. The new Hitler, but it won’t work, it’s to distract from the Epstein files, Release them now without the names being blacked out.
