On November 12th, Jinshi Data reported that last year, US President Trump stood in front of several display cases showcasing futuristic renderings of nuclear-powered warships—the appearance of a brand-new "Trump-class" warship. Trump claimed that these warships would be equipped with laser weapons, electromagnetic railguns, and hypersonic missiles, and would be completed in "about two and a half years." The US Navy stated that this warship would be the most expensive vessel in its fleet. Congressional Democrats, however, hoped that such a warship would never come to fruition. In Trump's proposed $1.5 trillion Pentagon budget, this warship became a key target of Democratic attacks. According to members of Congress, after their sweeping victory in the midterm elections, Democrats are now targeting Trump's "favorite" project. "What we need is a reasonable combination of high-end survivability systems and low-cost, expendable combat capabilities, not the kind of nuclear-powered warship fleet the president has proposed," said Democratic Representative Adam Smith, who is highly likely to become chairman of the House Armed Services Committee next year.
