Wes Moore: Trump’s response to USS Lincoln crew concerns ‘pisses me off’

Published August 16, 2026 2:31pm ET



Gov. Wes Moore (D-MD) sharply criticized President Donald Trump over his handling of the war in Iran, accusing the president of showing little concern for United States service members and their families amid reports of troubling conditions on the U.S. aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln. 

“Not only are these conditions, and the reports of these conditions, heartbreaking, the response of the president, the president of the United States, pisses me off,” Moore said on CNN’s State of the Union Sunday.
