Such ridiculous exaggerations:

Donald Trump has announced a plan for the US Navy to build two new "Trump Class" battleships.

Aimed at cementing US naval dominance, the president said the vessels will be "the fastest, the biggest and 100 times more powerful than any battleship ever built".

Constructed in America, made of steel and complete with missiles, guns, lasers and hypersonic weapons, the vessels will be the "centrepiece" of the US Navy's Golden Fleet initiative, he said.

Starting with two vessels, Mr Trump said the project would eventually expand to include 20 to 25 new ships.

The first will be christened the USS Defiant, with the US leader personally involved in how it looks.

...

On the planned battleships, Mr Trump said: "There's never been anything like these ships. These have been under design consideration for a long time.

"Each one of these will be the largest battleship in the history of our country. The largest battleship in the history of the world.

"We haven't built a battleship since 1994. These cutting-edge vessels will be some of the most lethal surface warfare ships... other than our submarines."

And, uh, aren't all navy ships already made predominantly of steel, rather than aluminum as Trump implied in his announcement?
