Yup, he’s an idiot, who costs us billions, now and in the future.

 A golfer friend’s important tip was that the U.S. Navy’s newest aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald Ford, was having F-18 fighter planes falling overboard and sinking because its high-tech electromagnetic launch system was not providing enough thrust for the planes to get airborne.

Trump’s response to this information — which was completely false — was to repeatedly order Pentagon officials to tear apart the already completed carrier and replace the new system, which was specifically developed to reduce stress on the planes at takeoff, with decades-old steam catapults.
