Trump wants to empower the Empire, but he's only authorizing more surface vessels. For all I know (and I don't care enough to research it), he may be authorizing a few new atmospheric craft, as well, but BORING...If he's not building TIE fighters, Star Destroyers, and a Death Star, is he really accomplishing anything for the Empire?
He might as well be issuing "new and improved" atlatls.
If you're going to build the Empire, then go all in and build the Empire. The Mandalorians and other rebels are waiting.
