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.

    These veterans not read project 2025 and realize they are about to lose their benefits?

    Zero sympathy for them. I feel bad for the veterans who saw through the bullshit.

      He wants to replace military leaders with lapdogs. His goal is to make military serve him not the Constitution.
