Putting the "Trump" in context, there was a proposal in the 70s for a "Strike Cruiser": nuclear powered, about 17,000 tons. The strike cruiser were rejected for cost, and the navy built the Ticonderoga class cruisers, using the Aegis combat system, instead. The Ticos are now over 30 years old and most have been retired. So, it can be argued there is a gaping hole in USN capability, that the "Trump" could fill. In the past, the Navy would cringe at the cost. But God and Savior Trump is expert at conning people out of their money.
