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.
He’ll be out after his four years. The important parts for him were grifting and escaping consequences. He’ll have accomplished that, even after he leaves office.
The damage he’ll do in the meantime…
I think k you missed the part where he unironically wants to “run for a third term.” And has literally every check and balance in his pocket.
He’s not going to win a third term. And he won’t be able to cheat into a third term. I’m not concerned about that.
I’m concerned about A. the damage this term, and B. the smarter version that follows a similar playbook.
However, you have to be pretty fucking dumb to be the President of the United States and still feel like you have any obligations to Russia. You tell the CIA what you fucking did, and they take care of it. What is he worried about, the pee tape getting out? Just call it fake news like he has literally everything else. It doesn’t matter how much evidence there is. It never matters how much evidence there is. People follow him anyway.
Oh buddy, haven’t you been paying attention? Disenfranchising voters and rejecting unfavorable election results has been one of their biggest priorities.
