*Yes, that is very true especially for military projects, and I am certain
that, although many billions of dollars will be spent, a "Trump Class
Battleship" will NEVER be built, however I'm equally certain that our Dear
Leader is far too stupid to realize that. *

*Why am I so certain it will never be built? Because the nation's naval
architects are all very smart people and they realize that building such a
ship is an idiotic idea and the only reason they're going through the
motions is because they were ordered to do so by the president because he
thinks such a ship would look cool. And because even if the military
construction proceeded perfectly, and it never does, it would take at least
10 years before such a ship could ever go to sea. And in 10 years dirt
cheap very intelligent drones would make such a dinosaur of a ship even
more ridiculous than it is today. And in 10 years our 80 year old
overweight junk food loving president will no longer be president. *

*Why am I so certain that the president doesn't realize any of this?
Because **a man as egomaniacal as our current POTUS would never allow his
name to be placed on something that he knew was doomed to failure. *

*By the way, although I am certain he will not be president in 10 years I
wish I was as certain that in 2 1/2 years he will no longer be president,
but I am not. In 10 years, if Mr. Jupiter Brain doesn't object, the USA
might coronate King Donald II.  *
