The Malignant Narcissist Wants to Erase Another American Hero's Name

 

Trump faces backlash over reports US navy carrier could be named after him instead of Black war hero 

Sources say US navy is working to rename carrier originally planned to honor second world war sailor Doris Miller

For his extraordinary bravery during the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, Doris Miller was awarded the Navy Cross—making him the first African American to ever receive it—presented to him by Admiral Chester Nimitz on May 27, 1942

The Trump administration has been accused of delivering a “slap in the face” to US military veterans after reports that a navy aircraft carrier set to honor a Black war hero may, instead, be named after Donald Trump. 

 The US navy had previously announced that the carrier under construction would be called the USS Doris Miller, in tribute to a sailor celebrated for his heroism during the attack on Pearl Harbor in the second world war.

But the navy is now working to rename the carrier, CNN reported, citing three sources familiar with internal discussions. Two of those sources said there have been conversations about renaming it to honor Trump, according to the network.

 “This is a slap in the face to every war hero and every service member who has worn the uniform,” said Derrick Johnson, president of the NAACP civil rights group. “Doris Miller earned his place in American history through courage, sacrifice, and service,” added Johnson. “Donald Trump only wants to serve himself.”

*************************

Neither Trump nor anyone in the Trump family going back two generations ever served this country in the armed forces.

Trump, himself, avoided serving in Vietnam by claiming he had bone spurs.

If he had any self-respect (he doesn't; he has only self-love) he would NEVER propose or ask to replace a true American hero's name with his. It is indecent, disrespectful, and foul.

It is beyond disgusting. It plays into Trump's insatiable need to see his criminal name everywhere.

And to be sure, Trump and his sycophants seek to replace Miller's name with Trump's -- a convicted felon and adjudicated sexual assaulter/rapist.

Every person who is serving or ever served our country should strongly object to this pandering to the draft dodger who called those who served and died for their country, "suckers and losers."

My family had several men who served in the US Navy in WWII, and my own grandson served for 10 years.

I am disgusted by this insult to them and any American who served his/her country.
