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 someone could have predicted this and warned them, over and over, for years…
It feels a bit like when a company has been taken over by a VC firm.
And you start finding out how they’re going to suck the juice out, while all the management involved in the decision pretend it’s all rosy.The difference is that with a VC takeover, it is not something the employees voted for.

Those are “their” values, not his. And for a rubble he’ll get new values.
who would’ve thought that trump would make decisions that harm the nation? i can’t imagine that
Hahahaha
Ha ha haaaaaa
Every criticism of trumps cabinet picks are 100% for a fact over stated. I know the average Republican and they do not give a fuck. They won’t be satisfied until Trump crowns himself king.
King? Do I have you remind you there’s Trump fanart as Warhammer’s God-Emperor of humankind? Leader of the in canon Fascist army of warhammer 40K?
Not that there’s a good army (orks maybe?)
I’m convinced he’ll be the first president in history to privatise the whole government.
The whole plan is to break all government agencies and then swoop in with a handful of billionaire buddies to buy up EVERYTHING. Houses, bitcoin, schools, outsourced (previous) government jobs to private industry. Crash the economy and tank the financial hit while everyone else is forced to sell, die, or give up their stuff to survive a recession.
During the elections I got the idea most Americans hated Trump and wanted him to just disappear, because of posts like this. I really need to widen the sites I get my US news from lemmy and reddit lol
Oh they do hate him.
But they hated the idea of being ruled by a black woman even more.
Dumb people angry that they were conned. How very Patriotic of you.
Dude said that dead soldiers were losers abd disrespected the Arlington cemetery and they are surprised by this one?
Oh it’s so much worse than just that. Donald Trump fucking hates the US military.
I call bullshit on this, if anyone loves to advertise his goods is this cat. You knew what you were buying, fuck you.
Most of what Trump says is complete bullshit though. In the 2016 campaign he supported universal healthcare.
I don’t think anyone has any idea what specific horrors Trump will unleash in this time, but it should be obvious to anyone that it will be horrors.
If you still voted for Trump after 2016-2020 and Jan 6th then you deserve what you get. Welcome to the find out stage, it just sucks that I have to be here with you.
Come to Europe, we have cookies.
We have far right extremists too and there might be a war but other than that…
You paying our fare?
Then sit down.
Unfortunately, America’s economy will likely take the rest of the world’s economies with it.
This made me lol
I want to punch these people in the brain. Don’t worry, it’s not like it’ll harm them anyway. They’ve eaten way too many paint chips to suffer new brain damage. I hope everyone who voted for Trump chokes to death on their own stupid choices.
