@dailymailpolitics: Donald Trump's Navy is facing renewed scrutiny after a warship lost all power while deployed in the South China Sea, stranding sailors without drinkable water, food, air conditioning or working toilets for four days. A generator failure aboard the USS Benfold on July 24 left the destroyer without power. Other Navy ships were called in to provide meals to the crew as the Benfold was towed to port in the Philippines, where sailors were put up in shore housing. Full power was not restored until July 30 and no injuries have been reported. The Navy did not disclose the incident for nearly a month, according to The Washington Post. The outage comes as the Trump administration faces criticism over extended carrier deployments in the Middle East, including that of the USS Abraham Lincoln, where reports of desperate sailors throwing themselves aboard have angered military families. #news #politics #trump #navy

I did my time in navy. Been to Middle East. I think they’re dragging it a bit via news n social media. Buuuuut, we’re not at war. wtf are we doing. There’s just no respect. Why are other countries having it better than we are and we’re supposed to be best. I believe we still are the best but man we are declining rapidly.

He did start a war, without congressional approval, in the Middle East. All the other presidents have prepared the services before engaging in war. It is his fault! He didn’t know what to do and didn’t listen to the real experts
