Morning Glory: Trump and the Navy 2.0

The greatest presidents of the last century were "navalists": Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, Ronald Reagan. All three knew that the United States is a sea power, and that to cede supremacy of the seas is to cede leadership of the world.

When President-elect Trump joined me on Monday’s program, I asked him if he intended to follow the examples of TR, FDR and RR all three of whom kept a constant eye on our Navy. The exchanges:

HH: Do you intend to rebuild the Navy?
DJT: I do. We have a great gentleman, you know, as you know.
