As Commander-in-Chief, I’m willing to bet that President Trump has the executive authority to rename any Naval vessel that has been labeled inappropriately.
We’ll start with the so-called USS Gabby Gifford, and follow up with the USS Jimmy Carter, two names that have no business adorning ANY warship of the United States Navy.
But we can name a garbage scow after Mabus, and the next ship to be used for live target practice before being sunk for an artifical reef, we’ll rename it the Barky O’Bama.
Well, at least he was in the navy, and was President, no matter how bad. However, I think it's inappropriate to name warships (or much of anything else for that matter) after folks who are still alive.
