Summary

Donald Trump’s appointment of John Phelan, a private investment firm chairman with no military experience, as Secretary of the Navy has sparked backlash from some of his supporters on Truth Social.

Many pro-Trump users, including veterans, criticized the pick as rewarding a donor or friend instead of selecting someone with Navy experience.

Some expressed feelings of betrayal, accusing Trump of abandoning their values and making decisions that harm the nation.

The move has raised questions about qualifications and loyalty among his base.

    if only he had openly expressed disdain for veterans, maybe they would’ve known he doesn’t give a shit about them.

    oh wait. he did.

    for all the lies he told, he didn’t deceive you. you’re likely not wealthy so you didn’t vote for him for that reason. so that leaves only the possibility that you’re just a piece of shit racist and/or sexist asshole. so fuck you, i hope every single day for his entire administration will be worse for you than the day before.
