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.

    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.

      everyone is going to suffer, but yeah, it’ll be briefly entertaining to see the leopards eating their faces.
