Trump is not smart so we should not let him determine long range military strategy!!
Donald Trump’s “Golden Fleet” strategy would concentrate more firepower on fewer ships. This cuts against prevailing naval doctrine, which is to disperse ships to make them harder for China to hit with missiles

The president’s plan for a “Golden Fleet” does not add up
