Not to be outdone...lying about fleet size

So...shall we start referring to our incompetent and unqualified President as LIAR in Chief? It fits...

TRUMP: “We have now the lowest number of ships that we’ve had since World War I, and very soon you’re going to get to 355 beautiful ships. 355. That’s almost a couple of hundred more ships.”

THE FACTS: No it isn’t. The Navy now has 283 ships
.

Trump seems to be as gooder at statistics as that other self proclaimed Ivy League (lite) graduate....


The Navy plans to reach 355 in the 2050s

"Very soon" is 2050...most of those commissioned today will have retired by then...

Another AP fail. Active surface combatant fleet is 238, unless you also count some small combatant craft, which the Navy never used to count. That would 13 more.

Back to your vodka, sweetie.
