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 hate myself for laughing so hard at these type of news, but it is what it is. The next 4 years will have so many articles with similar titles. I will keep crying and laughing all the same!

If only someone could have predicted this and warned them, over and over, for years…
If only the person they voted for had said he intended to do this exact thing LOUDLY, REPEATEDLY AND PUBLICLY for the last 4 years…
Oh no, looks like the face-eating leopard got their face. <Audible_lip_smack_What_a_shame.wav>
zero sympathy for these idiots. you elected a con man. youre getting exactly what you paid for.
#YouVotedForHim
and similar hashtags need to go viral…
“Thanks, MAGA” needs to become a mantra for the next four years. Remind these shitheads whose fault it is for their misery at every turn, as they have made it abundantly clear that the attention span and long-term memory of the average American is woefully poor.
Vote for a clown, don’t be surprised when you get a circus.
I might have had some sympathy the first time. They were just coned, not their fault. But as the saying goes. Fool me once, shame on You, fool me twice, shame on me.
This? This is what they have a problem with?
Gestures at 2017 to 2021, and everything that’s happened, been uncovered, and said by the orange one since… And none of that was over the line for you?
What?
Womp womp womp…
I used to bullseye womp rats in my T-16 back home, they’re not much bigger than two meters.
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.
Election is over, he does not care what anyone thinks.
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.
