Tapper: What is your husband saying about conditions on the ship? Wife of Service Member Aboard USS Lincoln: My husband is appalled at the conditions on this ship. This is not his first deployment. And he is saying that it is the worst deployment that he's ever been on. His shipmates say the same.

After my nephew went to the Naval Academy, he served on a ship fighting Somalian pirates. (Yes! You can go to the NA in the 21st century and then fight pirates!) Conditions were never like this. My great-niece is at the NA now. I worry for when she graduates, and for all serving under this regime.

So who would you believe the wife of the crew member or the LYING, DRAFT DODGING, FAKE POTUS who's NEVER been on a one of those ships or EVER performed any combat duties? I choose the wife without a DOUBT!

I wonder how many are still maga? Don't get me wrong. What they are experiencing is appalling and vile. Inhumane. But that's who this administration is they are inhumane.

Thanks. Thank goodness he was rescued. I’m not sure I wouldn’t do the same thing given the circumstances. It sounds like being in hell. I have two brothers who served in the arm services. It makes me really angry to think that service persons are being treated this way.

I hope that this will convince other military to not vote republican again! Many aboard that ship voted for this. I hope they are able to understand that and that non Trump supporters are trying to protect them.

This is being done intentionally, at least in part, to create segments like this, that can be clipped and re-aired by Skabeyeva to show both a 'weak America' and 'the normal conditions for troops in a powerful military', ie, its normal for our Russian heros to swim in sht and go hungry in battle.

Trump, DeepStáte & Israel should not drop nukes on Iran. US & Israel started war so Israel can continue genocide & killing around Mideast. Pakistan has nukes & this war could expand to full nuclear war. One nuke could trigger many countries to use nukes so they aren't wasted. STOP THIS INSANITY

If the military commanders who haven’t been fired are going along with this and aren’t willing to stand up, speak out and honor their oaths, or take ANY risks to protect their sailors, imagine what they will do to civilians when Trump issues kill orders on US soil.

This despicable criminal is severely mistreating our Military~ all the while looting the treasury for personal vanity projects. A felon— destroying America, is living like a king. Make. It. Make. Sense.

Unfortunately the system we have gives even the most powerful Democrats little actual power in practice. I think it goes beyond just Project 2025. It very much feels like some shadow group identified every political and cultural weakness to exploit to achieve a slow-rolling "legal" coup.

Trump's narcissism dictates he knows what is best for these sailors and in his mind he is always right. His demented mind dictates that they have not been there "long enough". How can the military support this egotistical fool?

These people voluntarily signed up to march in trump’s fascist military, and now I’m supposed to feel bad for them? Fuck that shit. FAFO.

"Worst ever deployment" This is actually what is said about a lot of deployments. Specific ways it's bad would be better. "He says it really sucks!" This is pointless reporting. Do better

Mostly due to the lieing useless crap of both trump and hegseth whom both have screwed with our military in the worse way possible and our nations #1 nightmare etc

The ultimate legacy system: a multi-billion dollar aircraft carrier that still manages to have a user interface (and living conditions) from 1984. Some patches just never get deployed.

The navy has always been known for good food on ships. An alcoholic and a pedophile have ruined that legacy. I hope they both spend the remainder of their lives in pain and misery. I feel authorized to request this because that is what I experience everyday

Trump is going to try and silence these people He'll claim they're traitors He'll arrest journalists to force them to divulge their names -then he'll claim these wives etc are fake Then he'll charge the journalists with treason -for creating fake stories to weaken our military during time of war

Our only saving grace now may be the fact that treason can't be charged because it's still TECHNICALLY not a war Kept that way as a result of Trump's stupid word games to avoid congressional time limits He truly didn't think any of this through

Trump started this war was to avoid testifying before congress about the 'wonderful secrets' HE SAID he shared with Epstein Think about that Pedophilia is the reason we're at war with Iran Pedophilia is the reason our weapons stocks are depleting Trump's Pedophilia is making us vulnerable

Pedophilia is the reason America is going bankrupt. All our hard efforts to save money for retirement have gone up in smoke as our money is becoming worthless.

And the GOP (including six Supreme Court justices) will back him all the way. It isn’t difficult to see who the real traitors are. Anything he accuses is a confession.

Trump thinks American soldiers who have paid the ultimate price to defend our freedoms are suckers and losers. He likes soldiers who don’t get captured. He is a disgrace and a traitor. Hegseth too. It’s horrible what’s happening and unfortunately it was a highly predictable outcome.

Trump and Hegseth lack the basic intelligence to grasp the scale of the logistical undertaking when fighting a successful campaign over any length of time. This Republican administration is built on bluff and bluster, with nothing of any substance to offer the USA, or the rest of the World.

Why are y’all reposting Jake Tapper @meidastouch.com 🙄 Do y’all lack nuance too? I would say that I’m disappointed, but surprisingly I’m not! You claim to be an independent media outlet, but use a post from mainstream media. I’m glad that I stopped watching y’all last year🤷🏾‍♀️My instincts were spot on!

No American should be shocked at the treatment of our brave military service men and women by an administration whose Commander and Chief was quoted referring to our military members as “suckers and losers”. Trump is unfit for duty by every metric.

How brazenly cruel do you have to be to deny the service members SOAP, food, clean water and contact with the outside world? Demand HEGSETH's resignation. This is a problem with common sense and empathy - nothing to do with Low-T. Denial is a part of his Alcoholism "everything's fine." NOPE.

This issue is reaching the normies. Americans are divided on almost everything , but they are united on one thing- you don't mess with our service personnel

Who gives a shit? These are men and women who volunteered to kill people they don’t know for college money or because they’re nasty little murderous facists. Their lack of port stops and monotonous food absolutely pale in comparison to the amount of misery and death they spread across the globe.

One of my friends was a navy veteran and she talked about these aircraft carriers being equivalent to floating cities. Imagine being in charge of this and letting these floating cities become floating piles of 💩

Did Jake Tapper end up blaming Joe Biden for the conditions on the USS LINCOLN?... I didn't hear the end of the interview. Tapper will probably write a book about the conditions blaming Biden

Trump said she’s lying. Who are you going to believe a pathological liar or the wife of a brave Sailor trying to get the word out about the horrific conditions on the USS Lincoln?

Doesn't the US have more than one carrier? Why is this one on deployment for so long without relief? And why isn't it apparently not being resupplied or maintained properly? These reports sound like something from the 1905 Imperial Russian Fleet and not the US Navy! WTF is going on?!

I was a cook in the Navy, and every time we are on a deployment, we get the best food! They feed us well during deployment. This is an atrocity to expect these Sailors to be working long hours day after day and be treated this way is so sickening. 

I remember an Ira Glass story from a US carrier in the Persizn Gulf during one of the Gulf wars. And the story became about chicken sandwiches, how the supply of them seemed unlimited, and how that was a metaphor for the military might of the US which Iraq was then facing. A metaphor now as well.

Comrade Bonespurs couldn’t care less about our service members. Spending more money to ensure clean and safe conditions on a military ship would dip into his money laundering savings, which he’s going to need for his child raping defense fund soon..:

I think for every day these soldiers have and continue to suffer such travesties, kegsbreath and the orange-faced shithead should be made to live in the exact same conditions twice over. Put them both on a ship in the middle of nowhere and let them rot together. Our military deserve better! 🤬🍊🤡💩

I wonder how many of the sailors aboard the USS Lincoln voted for Trump. I hope they feel some semblance of shame for what they voted for since they are a captive audience to his inadequacy and ineptitude.

And they'd do it again if they had a chance anyway. Apparently a CONVICTED FELON is better than low unemployment or gdp growth, or controlling the deficit....(all things republicans lie about wanting)

Trump has always shown nothing but contempt for our military service members. Calls them losers. So it’s $7 million lobster banquets for Dude Nukem and weevilly bread for the troops.

Trump & Hegseth are both cringe & unqualified. The entire world knows it. TV personalities don’t equate to real-life leaders. Co-grifters disagree. BT Dubs: If you’re getting rich on the public dime you aren’t serving a “public interest”. America deserves better. America wants real fighters!

Pedo-in-Chief's answer?? Don't let them come home, just send 'em a new ship. Will they be zip-lined to the new ship mid-Arabian Sea?? Will it be outfitted with food, supplies, & munitions sorely depleted by Pedo & Party Pete's war crime efforts?? Did Party Pete send testosterone supplements??

Their votes or lack there of got them there. I know there are very few that didn’t vote for him but that is how our “system works.” Being war hawks for a corrupt government and country finally isn’t looking like a good career path. It’s a volunteer military. It’s their 1776. Times was hard then .

Oathbreakers deserve what's coming to them. They took an oath to defend the constitution then stood by while the Donald* tore it up and wiped his arse with it. [* Your occasional reminder that in English, "Donald" is rhyming slang for something I shan't mention. From "Donald III"...]

Thank you brave wife!!!! This is so important! They are our loved ones who give up so much for each one of us! They deserve better from our leadership!!

Wait, what? Are you saying having a drunk christian nationalist clown running the Department of Defense is not working out so well? Imagine that.

Insane, dogshit comparison. Immigrants didn’t choose to be thrown into concentration camps; these sailors voluntarily signed up for this shit. They signed up for trump’s military, so this is the reward.

FY2026 funding for the Department of the Navy is $292.2 billion, an increase of $37.7 billion from the previous fiscal year. The issue is how the Navy is using and managing its resources, not a lack of money.

Someone will have to grow a backbone at some point, have some courage & stand up for themselves and their fellow troops. Why is everyone such cowards about this? I feel like there is a piece of this puzzle we're missing, probably thanks to the "journalism"

It will have to take a person in a leadership position to make the first move and rally the troops. For a lot of people it’s the fear of loosing their jobs, the fear of getting a bad conduct discharge. With that you minus well be a felon you will never get a job. And a lot more I can’t speak of

I am sorry to hear this but it is just another distraction from THE EPSTEIN FILES. Why is the ongoing refusal to release the complete files being ignored?

We have a stupid, incompetent, CORRUPT, 34-count felon, liar, cheat, grifting imbecile as President, along with an incompetent, corrupt cabinet and republican party. That is what we need to change. We all know the assignment in Nov. 2026 and again in Nov. 2028. Protest, boycott, and VOTE BLUE!

what they are NOT saying is they voted for this shit. They just wanted this outcome for the rest of us, not them. This is what they chose to serve, what they follow. No sympathy for that, seems to be the perfect MAGA prison for those that wished this on the rest of the country
