The text questions whether Trump opposed the naming of the USS Doris Miller.

Infact verdict: Mixed (48/100).

The claim that Trump opposed the naming of the USS Doris Miller is not directly supported by the evidence. The evidence suggests that there were discussions about renaming the carrier, with Trump's name being considered as a replacement. However, there is no clear indication that Trump himself opposed the original naming. The sources indicate that the Navy was considering renaming the carrier, but no official decision had been made. Therefore, the claim lacks strong evidence and is rated as misleading.
