Now...
MR. PRESIDENT.
Sir.
These people have been floating around on the ocean so long they probably know the fish by FIRST NAME.Ā š
Sailors and Marines aboard the USS Abraham LincolnĀ have been deployed for nearly nine months, including more than 240 consecutive days at sea without a port call, according to reporting from the Associated Press. The aircraft carrier left San Diego in November 2025 and has remained deployed while supporting U.S. military operations involving Iran.
And apparently some families are saying:
āUmmm... can we have our people BACK?ā
Because roughly 5,000 sailors and MarinesĀ are aboard this ship, and reports have raised concerns about the toll of the unusually long deployment.
So Friday, a reporter asked President Donald Trump about those concerns.
Trump's response?
āNo, they're not.ā
Then the reporter asked whether the deployment had gone on too long.
And Trump said:
āNO, NO, NO. NOT NEARLY LONG ENOUGH.ā
SIRRRRRR. ššš
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, NOT LONG ENOUGH?!
They've been on that boat since THANKSGIVING WAS STILL MAKING PLANS.
Christmas came.
New Year's came.
Valentine's Day came.
Mother's Day came.
Father's Day came.
Fourth of July came.
And these folks are STILL looking at WATER.
ššššš
At this point somebody on that ship done missed three family arguments, two cookouts and somebody's cousin's entire relationship.
SHE MET HIM, MARRIED HIM AND LEFT HIM WHILE YOU WERE DEPLOYED.
šš
But this story does have a serious side.
Reports about conditions aboard the Lincoln have described exhaustion and strain among crew members, along with concerns involving supplies and shipboard conditions. Navy and Pentagon officials have pushed back against some of those reports and disputed portrayals suggesting conditions aboard the carrier are deteriorating.
And THAT distinction matters.
But what isn't disputed is Trump's answer.
When asked whether the deployment had gone on too long:
āNot nearly long enough.ā
Baby...
Somebody's mama heard that and threw the REMOTE.
ššš
Imagine waiting nine months for your child, spouse, mother, father, brother or sister to come home...
Reporter:
āMr. President, these families are concerned.ā
Trump:
āNo they're not.ā
Families:
āEXCUSE THE HELL OUTTA ME?!ā
ššš
Now there IS some good news for those families.
Trump also said the Lincoln would soon be leaving the region, and the USS George Washington is heading toward the Middle East to relieve it.
So somebody aboard the Lincoln probably heard āGeorge WashingtonāĀ and yelled:
āGEORGE! GET YO ASS OVER HERE!ā
ššš
Because after more than 240 days without a port call, I don't care WHO is coming.
George Washington.
Denzel Washington.
Kerry Washington.
THE WASHINGTON WIZARDS.
Somebody pull this damn boat over! šš
But underneath the jokes, these are service members who have spent months away from their families while carrying out military orders. Whatever anybody's politics may be, their families' concerns deserve to be taken seriously.
And saying nine months is ānot nearly long enoughā?
Mr. President...
You might want to leave that particular sentence at the bottom of the ocean.
