But FYI, Phelan was just a private equity guy installed by Trump. The reason he was fired is because he wasn't building the "Trump class" battleships Trump wanted. Which were supposed to have WW1 era appearance because Trump is an "aesthetics guy" and doesn't like the look of modern stealth ships.

I kid you not.

Wait, that's actually based as fuck. The 20th-century battleships were the pinnacle of human architecture, let him have this one.
