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.

    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.

        I feel like it’s a little of column A and a little of column B; but I agree we should all widen the sites we get our news from.

      Most Americans are also too lazy to vote. It comes with growing up in an easy life.
