Just another attempt by press to demonize trump.
They’re trying to make him sound like a fickle loose canon insisting on things outside of his expertise.
They carefully ignore or hide the possibility that he was given sound advice by relevant experts that the new tech was a big mistake he should fight against.
I am not some personality cult worshiper of trump, I just have so little trust in what I read from the press
He's doing a very good job of doing that on his own.

Those "relevant experts" should have told President Trump that the Mk 13 steam catapult is no longer being manufactured. If he wants to switch now then it would mean a redesign of the carriers, find a new manufacturer for the steam cats and redesign it for the Ford class carriers. And while he is at it, those "relevant experts" should probably point out to the President that of the three new technologies introduced in the Ford class - EMALS, Advanced Arresting Gear (AAG), and the Dual Band Radar - EMALS has been by far the most successful of the three.
