Democrats Target Trump’s Warship

“Three days before last Christmas, President Trump stood between easels with renderings of futuristic, nuclear-armed warships that would be part of a new class of ‘Trump-class’ battleships,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“The warship, which the Navy has since said would be the most expensive in its fleet, is one of the Democrats’ prime targets in Trump’s historic $1.5 trillion Pentagon budget request. Democrats, fresh off sweeping wins in last week’s midterm elections, are taking aim at the president’s pet projects amid an unpopular war with Iran and high prices at home.”
