What's This About?
The post sarcastically mocks President Trump's December 22, 2025, announcement at Mar-a-Lago of the 'Golden Fleet' initiative, featuring 'Trump-class' battleships described as the largest ever built. Trump, joined by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Secretary of the Navy John Phelan, outlined plans for two initial massive warships (30,000-40,000 tons displacement), with goals of 20-25 total, reviving battleship production after decades. Key themes include naval expansion amid tensions with China, reopening shipyards like Philadelphia, and tying into a record defense bill, framed by the post as 'Mar-a-Lago Navy'.
🔥Why It's Trending
The post is trending due to the high-profile nature of Trump's bold naval revival announcement just before Christmas 2025, sparking debates on military spending and strategy. Its viral sarcasm amplifies reactions to reviving obsolete battleships in 2026, coinciding with ongoing U.S.-China tensions. Timing near New Year's and defense budget discussions boosts shares among political satire followers.

Presence. Partnership. Power. In 2025, your U.S. Navy stood the watch around the globe. From the Red Sea to the southern border, from the Baltics to the Indo-Pacific, we were there. We celebrated epic deployments, honored our 250-year heritage, and invested in the future of our Golden Fleet. See our year in action. #Navy250 #PeaceThroughStrength
