Hmmmm.

That's the day before POTUS's birthday. Trump would love a big beautiful boat named after him as a birthday gift bribe to not fire Hegseth for royally fucking up.

haha rename it from a totally-not-manly gay icon's name to a totally-manly draft dodger's name.

That boat will be the unluckiest boat ever floated and will sink shortly after.
