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.

    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 wonder if they thought picking Big E to represent trump was ironic or not. Because the emperor made a bunch of mistakes that made everything a whole lot worse for a whole bunch of people. Like this is dystopian fiction we’re talking about.

        The orks are good, but only from their moral lens. Fighting=good, green=good, gits=bad, krumping gits=good. The only reason we think of them is good is because there’s a lot of information on orc psychology, whereas we see the other races as more or less human instead of the aliens that they are.

        Fuck i should help make the Warhammer communities here more active

          As someone who doesn’t play the game or paint the minifigs or really interact with the franchise in any way at all, I really enjoy the lore and world building involved.

          It’s post ironic edgy. Too many levels of irony and seriousness. It’s ridiculous. They know it’s ridiculous and are having a lot of fun pretending it’s serious and laugh at those upset by it.
