A naval aircraft carrier under construction is slated to bear the name of an enlisted sailor, the first for an African-American. Or was.

The Navy is planning to replace Doris Miller’s name on the ship, possibly with that of president Donald Trump, CNN reports. No carrier in the US Navy has ever been named for a sitting president.

I like to think he's so desperate to honor himself because he knows history won't.

    This is exactly it. He's hoping to brand as much as he can while he's alive. The Kennedy center was a huge blow to his ego. He'll use the board to gild the whole thing so it'll cost millions to undo.

    They voted to carve his name into it so that it can't be undone. Bitches don't know about patching, and filling.
