IQ45 Complained New Aircraft Carrier "Didn't Look Right"

Twice Impeached Fascist (I refuse to call him 'president') Donald tRump complained to military officials that the new $13B aircraft carrier USS Gerald Ford "didn't look right". His chief complaint was with the placement of the carrier's island, which functions as its command center.

"I know aesthetics,’ IQ45 reportedly told senior military leaders when he told them he didn’t like the ship’s high cost, the advanced weapons elevators used to transport arms aboard, and the location of the ‘island’ - or command center - on the ship’s deck....As if to drive home the point about his 'knowing aesthetics,' Trump reportedly rubbed his own hair in front of senior military officers, saying: 'Can't you tell?' "

This is the new USS Gerald Ford, IQ45 did not like the position of the island and the new electromagnetic catapults.




But not to worry, as I think I've found an aircraft carrier that IQ45 would find more "aesthetically" pleasing. This is the Admiral Kuznetsov.

Interesting ramp on the Kuznetsov. I wonder if that helps or hinders flight crews . . . Journeyman Sep 2021 #5
Without that ramp they don't get off the deck. Angleae Sep 2021 #8

At least they found a pic of the Kuzntesov without billowing it's fumes our showing it's two tugs... I guess the third clue there i see no bow wave... Last time that piece of junk crossed the english channel, we couldn't breathe or see for days. I think it's safe to bet on the Ford 😁
On edit: i for one like the looks of the Ford, the logic oozes from the deck.
