22.12.2025 โ‡ข The Day of the 'Trump-Class' Battleship Announcement
โŒจMorning editorial focus centered on an internal revolt at CBS News after chief Bari Weiss pulled a '60 Minutes' segment on Salvadoran prisons, with staffers alleging pro-administration censorship. This coincided with continued coverage of the U.S. Coast Guardโ€™s pursuit of a third Venezuelan oil tanker and the Department of Justice's refusal to release unredacted Epstein investigative files.
By afternoon, the narrative shifted toward the Trump administrationโ€™s disruption of energy and diplomatic norms, specifically the halting of five offshore wind farm leases citing national security and the recall of dozens of career ambassadors. Diplomatic tensions spiked as Denmark and Greenland rejected the appointment of a U.S. special envoy to the territory.
In the evening, President Trump and War Secretary Hegseth dominated headlines by announcing the 'Golden Fleet' initiative at Mar-a-Lago. This plan to build a new class of 'Trump-class' battleshipsโ€”described as the largest in historyโ€”reoriented the news cycle, overshadowing earlier reports of legal threats against the DOJ and the ongoing fallout at CBS.
